Wanting friends but feeling too tired to keep them

Basically the title

I want friends, and I have friends, but I feel so exhausted, for lack of a better word. I don't have the energy to make people like me anymore. It's like I'm running on fumes.

How do you have and keep friends when you're burnt out like this? Seriously, I'm tired as hell but I want to be connected with others.

be careful with caffeine y'all 😭

IDK if anyone else's main SH trigger is anger. mine is for sure. I've been sooo irritated at work all shift today and I was like... What the hell is wrong ?! I'm not usually this triggered at work.

Omg. I had an espresso before my shift.... That's why I feel so restless and irritated at all of my customers LMAO

Not saying you should never have caffeine but maybe stick to lower doses when doing things you know might get you mad 😭

writing poetry kept me from relapsing

ive never self harmed in a way that seriously risked my health but working customer service has me feeling so angry all the time that i was considering escalating it

i was recommended a video on ddlc poetry critique recently however and i found it so interesting. ive never seen actually poetry critique and it made me want to write suddenly, so i started writing a poem on my lunch break. even though it wasn't anything special i noticed that i felt a lot better afterwards. I think focusing on the rhythm and the next words helped me get my stress out. and sometimes the poems are basically me getting my anger out, so maybe it serves the same purpose

im glad to find an alternative i guess
