[quote=Anonymous]Not super depressed and not normal, but like loopy and out of sorts and forgetting things, and then sometimes horrified by stuff that is happening, and then other times oddly calm and relaxed even though it seems like I shouldn't be.

For me it's definitely at least half driven by things going on in my own life. An elderly family member recently died, and I've been shocked at how heavy my grief is (this was not a parent or sibling) given their age and the fact that they went peacefully and I had a chance to say goodbye. Like I just haven't had a normal day since then. There's also weird/annoying drama going on at my kids' elementary school. It doesn't concern me directly but I get regular emails about it and when I interact with other parents, it's all anyone talks about. I find it stressful and stupid at the same time and wish it would just go away.

Then, you know, the fact that the country is now at war but it feels like it's happening in a parallel universe or something because no one talks about it except to say "yeah, it's crazy" or "I don't really understand what's going on," but then I'll check the news in the morning and it will be about Americans dying or a girls' school being bombed or the violence spreading to yet another country and people struggling to get out before the airports close. It is very surreal.

Also the other stuff, the other Trump stuff. You know what I'm talking about it.

Anyone else? Any ideas for how stay more grounded these days? I'm constantly distracted, not sleeping well, and struggling to stay on my usual schedule. Just feeling out of sorts.[/quote]
