How's the trauma recovery going? I just had a serious crying spell because I was sad that our TV might be sad or confused because it doesn't have an internet connection.

I've always kind of unthinkingly projected feelings into inanimate objects, but they aren't usually that strong and they usually yield to self-reminders that they are just objects and do not have feelings. I'm not sure, but I think the loss of so many things has made that kind of instinctive personification I do harder to deal with.

Oh fuck, I hate that feeling. Like in some ways I think it's beneficial, in that it reminds me to tread carefully and lightly on the earth, but it's like. Not good emotionally.

I don't have much to add to that other than that I empathize very much. I have the same thoughts. It's just harder to manage right now.
