  • That’s a fair point.

    Both system crashes were in fact a totally unresponsive system after a random action minutes after coming back from a long period of inactivity.

    Crash 1: computer had been left on, downloading some software and games, for the past 2 hours. When I came back, I moved the mouse, the screen turned on again, I put down my password, saw the files that had finished downloading, and then I pressed alt tab, and the whole screen froze. After waiting 1 minute, I tried closing programs or seeing if anything was responsive, and it was not the case. No keyboard command was working, mouse wasn’t moving. I did a hard reset.

    Crash 2: I’m playing something full screen, then pause to go have lunch. Come back 1 hour later, pc never went into sleep, and the screen is still on, on the pause menu. I alt tab to check my email, and when I tab back into the game the screen freezes on my email (with the tab selector in the middle).

  • Hi. I’ve never posted, and thought I wouldn’t ever. It’s weird reading something someone else wrote and feeling like they got a glimpse of your inner thoughts.

    To the core of your question: you can’t perfectly plan for the future, but you can exercise kindness towards yourself given the new reality you have. And that means being more mindful of the little rituals you establish in your day to day and knowing they are helping you.

    There’s a joke I remember badly that said something like “I’ve been using anti-dandruff shampoo forever, for no reason. I’ve got no dandruff. One week after I stop using it? I’ve got dandruff again”.

    I believe that not being capable of recognizing the signs of depression or mood exhaustion is worrisome, but that is even a stronger reason for you to cling to the rituals and actions that you positively know that help you.
