@twshield it's a heavy thing to bear.
I drag a length of copper wire behind me at all times.
These might come off as platitudes, but here goes. Don't sweat the small stuff, and quite a lot of it is small stuff. A to-do list is great for planning, but no one ever died with an empty to-do list. Keep things in perspective, empathize with others. One is neither superior nor inferior, just different. (Yes, I see things as on a spectrum of gray with very little at the extremes.) Don't underestimate the power of the small routines that we do over and over in our lives. (For me - baking bread, cycling, playing board games, socializing with friends, etc.)

I am independent. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I don't think I am a better person than anyone else and vica versa. I do what I can to help others in my community.

Well, I used to think it was Jesus, now it's gravity.

I have friends who love me. A lot of them. It's humbling and grounding. They also love me enough to tell me when I am getting "off".

For me, establishing some habits and routines keeps me grounded. I'm apt to live completely in my head, and if I didn't have certain routines, my life would be a big mess. Walking my dog in nature every day helps.

I stopped drinking, smoking including weed and drugs and I have my pets and art.

When my brain starts to whig out I drink chamomile tea and write poetry, practice mindful breathing or go for a walk and talk with a friend. My becoming ungrounded is all to do with overthinking.
