around me black bats dive up from the dark.

I don't understand why that's the case. I know you want something. I suspect it's "necromancer"

but we just looked at "necromancer" and that also felt very bad.

here. here's what let's do.

let's do the PT exercises. just one of them. literally just the stand-up ones and then we did a nonzero amount of PT, mission accomplished.

we do need to do laundry and the laundry is in the basket. like PT, we could do that and see if it gives us the Doing Something emotion.

and then let's put on pajamas. or at least soft clothes. let's get cozy in bed. that feels like a good idea.

and then see what time it is and how you feel.

you have Government Soup tomorrow and your Time Anxiety is pretty bad. is some of this that? you don't want to spend four hours tomorrow doing Government Soup in an office chair that hurts you?
