What if you started your blog and just blasted it on all your socials and aggressively self promo?

Even with these healthy things I'm just exhausted. I don't know if it's just the sheer amount of intellectual work I'm doing with class, thesis, and grading, or what. I'm curious if anyone else has felt this or has tips (even really basic tips)?

I have a supportive advisor and group of peers. I'm in therapy. I was running three times a week but that fell off in October when my thesis draft was due. I have activities and friends outside of school that bring me joy. I have regular spiritual practices. -

Did anyone else feel this in their MFA or ever just get into periods of this? It's not depression. It just feels like cognitive exhaustion from the amount of thinking I'm doing. I'm trying to figure out what to do about it because I would really like to read again.

It sure makes the practical realities of living on precarious grants and stipends in various gross apartments with a job that requires intense focus very difficult.

I think it's helpful that here, the feed is all people you choose to follow, vs. algorithmed posts. And if it's mostly people you know or feel comfortable engaging with, there can be more space to help keep each other moderated?

X is the kiss and O is the hug because the O is like someone wrapping their arms around you, and I guess the X is the kiss because it's like lips scrunched up?
