1. have a stressful day
2. spill a bit of coffee
3. notice that you're not doing very well
4. open up Twitter on your phone and make a funny tweet about it

I realise that this is a somewhat cynical look on that post, but imagining it is just really funny to me

I've done this, but while deep in the throes of post-trauma dissociation. Dexterity and fine motor control kind of just "turned off", leaving my limbs feeling heavy and numb for a good while. My other senses were thrown off too, but I recall having to watch my hands carefully so I didn't drop things. It's no fun.

That was a long while ago. Things are much, much better now, but man was that a rough ride.

I guess my takeaway here is that, while OP's post is darkly humorous, it's kind of the truth for some folks. Be kind to yourself and others, and don't cry over (literal) spilled milk. Some days are just hard.

It's not the large things that
Send a man to the madhouse
Death he's ready for, or
Murder, incest, robbery, fire, flood
No, it's the continuing series
Of small tragedies that send a man to the
Madhouse... not the death of his love
But a shoelace that snaps
With no time left

I lost an earpod to that mood before. I felt it fall out of my pocket but I was so done that I never stopped to pick it up. That kinda sucked, in hindsight.
