I think I’ve finally been able to strike a balance of how much information I take in.

I think I’ve finally been able to strike a balance of how much information I take in. I consume just enough to keep the fires of righteous anger stoked, then move on to something productive. Rather than wallowing and living in a state of pent up anger.
That shit will kill you.
And the line for when I’ve consumed enough is 100% informed by listening to my body.

@vantablue What specific signs in your body do you look for? That sounds like a great balance to strike.

@malte Inability to concentrate, sustained increase in heart rate, tension in my body that I have to keep consciously relaxing, poor sleep, lack of productivity, feeling sick to my stomach all the time and a lack of motivation.

@vantablue Ouch. Yes, that's probably the point where the energy you can gain from being mad about the world turns into loss of energy and apathy. Great body awareness, I'll keep this in mind!

@malte Yep. It's a pretty thin line, too. I can't afford to ignore any of those signals. Especially as someone who struggles with long-term depression. If I get caught in an eddy of despair, I'm no good for anyone or anything (including myself).

@vantablue I feel that and know that state of mind too. It's a strange blessing of having experienced depression that you get to understand much deeper something that everyone is on some level affected by too.
