Bread and Circuses in Elk: "For those who have asked, and ot..."

For those who have asked, and others who might be wondering, I've decided that I badly need a mental health break. The toll of reading and writing every day about catastrophic collapse is just too depressing. And I figure I can't do much good for anyone else if I don't take care of myself first.

I've wondered about that very thing. I hope you find the recharge you're looking for.

This is a good decision, take time for yourself and make sure you are okay. It's tough seeing the world the way it is, no one can do this all the time.

Take care

Thank you for sharing this---I was worried about you.

I agree, talking care of oneself is most important.

yup. prioritize yourself.
best wishes to you and thanks for your efforts.

I've wondered for a long time how you handle it all. Yes! You must take time to enjoy the things that there still are to enjoy. Your life counts too!

Whilst your efforts are appreciated, your own wellbeing comes first.

We all feel the same. Overwhelmed! Take time for yourself.

Yeah. The black mirror reflects some pretty nasty things right now. And it’s NOT as important as experiencing life itself!

Do take a break, your work has been so important, and inspiring to many of us, you certainly deserve the break.

I hope the rest and peace comes easily. Take care
