We all have our trees

We all have our trees. When being social is too much, old birdsite or any other, this article sums up a few things.

I found myself feeling angry all the time. About something. Anything. Nothing I could name. As I used an unfiltered feed from Tweetdeck, no algorithm had come between me and my feed, artificially amplifying my anger. This was all raw and real – anger coming from all the voices inside my head shrieking about injustice, oppression, and terror.Throughout the 2010s tragedies poured in: invasions, wars, refugee migrations, mass shootings, massacres, all of it flooding in through these thousands of holes I'd drilled in my head.

By the middle of 2017, despite a string of successes in my life, I felt continually depressed. I took a rest break – unplugging for a fortnight – and immediately began to feel better.
