Emoji inspiration: I call this part of the year (the time between Boxing Day and New Year's Day) the "never-never times" because some things are open, others are closed, some people are working, a lot not, so fuck all gets done, and if you need anything besides food or groceries, you're basically SOL
Happy International Day of Epidemic Preparedness!

Because one of my strengths is wasting time, I made a crying tally this year, just for fun. I went to make some graphs to analyse it, but my emotional self decided not to stick to the columns and just dump thoughts and feelings on the spreadsheet. I'm going to make a google form next year.
fun stats
- I cried 218 times this year, which is an average of once every 1.7 days.
- Longest crying streak: 17 days
- Top genres: breakup, relationships with others, uni stress
- Most cries in a month: 47 (May)
- Least cries in a month: 2 (December)
- Favourite cry (CRYme, iykyk): Olivia Rodrigo concert
- Top feelings: hopelessness, anxiousness
- Top day to cry: Sunday (this was due to sleep deprivation)
The past two years have been pretty terrible mental health wise, but I think things are starting to pick up. I have a sense of peace that I've wanted for a really long time, and so many awesome things in my life. For the first time in a long time, I don't feel such a huge sense of dread and hopelessness anymore, which is really nice :)
While that is far too much crying for one person, and I hope it happens so little next year that you don’t need to record anymore, these really are fun statistics to have kept.
Thanks :)
I think it's interesting how time goes by and things start to hurt less. Will be something to look back on for sure.
things start to hurt less.
Just don't let it be because you are numb or becoming callous or uncaring. That is a hard road to come back from.
once every 1.7 days
so much crying is not great
when I had cptsd I noticed I was crying when in the past I knew I wouldn't cry in that same situation
my thoughts were irrational, my feelings were a bit too intense, more intense than I used to be, and my expression was out of control
it takes conscious effort and practice to relearn how get a handle on the crying
so many hugs , you can do this 🙂
Thanks for picking this up! Thankfully didn't end up crying 1.7 times per day.
