I do love an open thread and I appreciate seeing these and sometimes having something to say!
I am not really in a changey state right now, working from home and a bit static in the way I am interacting with people. I did end up with a big deadline push to get some work product out the door (a little rushed because my boss wanted it done before heading out for a very well deserved vacation, but also because I've been dragging my feet in a bit of stasis without having deadlines); so overall having a faster paced, more collaborative work week, while still not seeing anyone face to face was a good change. Not sure what I'll settle back into next week.
Also decided to stick with the lower dose of psych meds that I've been on -- I went around a larger dose (by coincidence) around the start of lockdown and while it definitely helped me the cope with being home alone, scaling back has really affected my energy levels / has me wanting to write and talk about creativity and fandom more than I have for a while (i hesitate to talk too much about this because I don't want to promote the generality of meds killing creativity or anything, and it's very much been the change in my focus and activity since the 2016 elections that's been the main driver in my not writing/ fanning for a while, but there's also definitely some brain stuff going on and I need to look for the write* balance of positive energy and anxiety, but for now I'm hopeful about the current state)
