That’s a lot of activities. … you sound a bit like me: well I went for a jog (meaning I ran like crazy for 1 and a half hours) I worked only a little bit today (six hrs of demanding physical work) then I met with only one friend (we discussed her divorce) and in the evening I cought up on studies to finish my MA …
- all of that was me just before burnout.
I was trying to catch up on life and also internalised the abuse of not beeing enough nor doing enough.
Please learn to be nice to yourself. I had to try out six psychologists before I found one who was able to see behind my mask and allowed me to work through my experiences (abuse, etc. )
I needed to learn to pace myself ( a half hr walk is good enough for your mental health, also I discovered weight training / bodybuilding works well. (I was mostly doing endurance muscles before to “stay lean” and not look “too burly”. That was a bad idea. Fuck the patriarchy.) weight training is even scientifically proven to enhance your brain activity.
Also your reactions sound like you have a little bit of deficiency in some minerals/amino acids/ vitamins. If your health care provider covers it you should get your bloodwork done. I did the same thing when I finally was able to get away - I was constantly tired and unwell because I forgot to eat Cruciferous plants.
Or you can try the poor people route and just eat the supplements you can affford for a month and see if it changes anything. In that case tracking your mood helps you see changes. Mood journal PDF s are easily found on google. Toxic family upbringing has a tendency to make you misremember your own moods and diminish your successes.
Building routines also helps. Every bit of daily (self) care.
Wish you the best.
yeah disconnecting the fedora drive while doing repairs is important.
Always unplug your Linux drives when doing windows work, makes your life easier.
I once borked my windows install because I left the designated (not yet installed) Linux drive plugged in - then windows decided for some God forsaken reason to install the bootloader on the Linux disk. Had to copy the bootloader from install disk like someone else in this thread already typed out.
