Sucks that AstroBot isn’t couch coop. LBP series has been great with my kid. I wonder if this forebodes doom for Sackboy as well.

Better vehicle, same people. 🤷🙂

Exercise helped me, but didn’t work by itself.

Adding therapy helped more, but didn’t work by itself.

Adding meds helped more, but I don’t lean on them alone.

Which is just to say, it’s not either/or. :-)

That said, I started going on long nature hikes, usually 4-5 miles but up to 17 sometimes. Download podcasts and music for offline access. Later, my therapist suggested taking notes after my walks, about how I felt / what was on my mind – now I do it more often than not, and it’s been helpful too.

Talking about work during a business dinner does not equal hours. Thinking about work ideas after hours does not equal hours. Fostering a business connection does not equal work hours.

The competition is indeed stiff.
