      Did you get help, some treatment maybe? It’s a silly question, even more so not knowing your issue, but I ask because I had some serious issue myself, that was a few years ago and I finally decided to get help. It changed everything. I was barely able to walk at all, like I would walk a few steps and I would be done for the day, I was wrecked. Today, I will walk miles each day and I feel bad when I don’t go out walking.

          Yes, it can be slow and… frustrating. Don’t give up. I had quite a few steps back. At first, I raged (mostly against myself and my own stupidity) but it made things worse. A lot. So, I decided to focus only on what is improving/has improved. And to this day, most of the time I can go through any setback (and more important, through me screwing up ;) without much difficulty.

    Tall, skinny phones and portrait-optimized apps. It’s like your viewport is restricted to looking out of an arrow slit in an old-timey castle while also requiring a step ladder to reach anything at the top of the screen.

    Having to wake up early every single day. I pray for the revolution of night owls!

    At least I get to foster lots of adorable, sweet kittens as a distraction, and live in a pretty great part of a shitty country.

    Tired of? So many stuff it’s hard to pick one. Most left focusing on being the stupidest it can be, would be a valid choice. Posting that from France, if it matters (I don’t think it does, the left is so badly fucked up in most Western countries it’s not even funny). Edit: me being me would be another choice.

    Desperate about? People enjoying TV/Web/social media more than opening a book.
    Reading (books) helped the diffusion of new and daring ideas (aka, ideas that did make some people feel offended, to say the least) and they played a role in the birth of our democracies. Don’t anyone worry what society the absence of (reading) books will help build instead? I do.
