It’s an email. Unsurprisingly. Why does this always take an entire days effort. We have written PART OF IT👍

I love it when I’m depressed for no reason and it makes it hard to accomplish things I need to😀👍

Part of it being: reading the email I’m responding to. And writing “hello” in my notes app.

Tips you didn’t ask for but here ya go: - maybe try dictating your response as speech to text (just be sure to proofread after!!) - if you have a friend who’s not judgmental, you could ask them to come over and body double while you each get some challenging tasks done with moral support

You know this is the most resistance I’ve had for an email in ages

It really does😭 I have a lot of resistance to checking my email and writing them usually but now it’s especially bad.

Thanks! I don’t have anyone to body double with sadly that one would definitely work if I did though. And I might try the dictation thing. So far I have just been writing it in small bursts when I get the energy. And just distracting myself the rest of the time. It works alright and the more I do it the less resistance there is but lord it’s difficult. I honestly gotta go back and read the previous email again too so I know what to write🫠

Alas! Well, after a genuine break, maybe you will come back to find a door in the wall you’ve been beating your head against the whole time. Happens to me once in a while.

Yea maybe! That might be a good idea frankly. I think I’ll do that. Especially now that Ive got a foot in the door with starting to write it. I’m eating dinner now anyways so I think that’s a good place to do it. And yk it’s an email I don’t need to worry about opening hours like with phone calls.

IM DONE!!! I SENT IT!! THANK GOD😭 And tbh considering the amount of stress I was under it was still not a bad email. Sometimes I just send the first thing I can put to words in these situations and it’s a bit rough lol but this one was actually fairly decent.

The momentum of starting made it easier the more I wrote. And after a point I just was able to start writing again by simply ignoring my fears I guess. It’s somewhat difficult to do that sometimes lol but it does work.

Me too it’s such a relief lol. I have other stuff I gotta do related to this but they shouldn’t be as stressful as emails are lol.
