The Day Nothing Felt Ordinary

On 9th May 2026 By Absurd RhioIn Recovery Updates, Weekly Updates11 Comments

Sometimes when I wake up, my anxiety wakes up first. Before I’ve even opened my eyes my brain is already spiralling about weight, Welsh elections, quantum mechanics and whether Biscoff spread contains enough energy to power a small nation. By the end of the day, seagulls, Starbucks and my son helped ground me again.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
