Trigger warning: Anxiety. Please be advised.
Earlier today I published a new 10-Minute Warning post about my recent anxiety attacks, but when I read it again, I had to unpublish it because I mixed a lot of details in order. Writing about what happened in 10 minutes is a mistake. Sorry about that.
Now, I will need more than 10 minutes to explain everything properly.

Yesterday, I could not finish my work because of overthinking. I wanted to get out at night to distract myself, so I did. I updated my journal while having my affogato at my favorite cafe Satchmi, and then I enjoyed watching Deadpool & Wolverine for the 2nd time. After all that, I went home at 12am, feeling better.
Speaking of work, I’m almost done with my work today – monthly billings, to be exact. Tomorrow I’m going on a printing and photocopying galore. Yes, my current clerical work (for the family business) is not exciting compared to my previous web/graphic design jobs, but at least it pays the bills and I can save money.
What else? Oh, I forgot to mention: Because of Deadpool & Wolverine, I went on a Ryan Reynolds movie marathon last weekend. Specifically, I watched R.I.P.D. (Rest In Peace Department), The Hitman’s Bodyguard, The Change-Up, and, of course, Deadpool and Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool, man. As for the other Reynolds movies I have watched, I truly enjoyed The Hitman’s Bodyguard’s action scenes and overall story, and I don’t know what to say about R.I.P.D. and The Change-Up… for now.
And that’s it. That’s all for now.
Maybe I should watch Deadpool & Wolverine for the 3rd time this weekend.
Well, yeah. That’s it for now. For real.

An update on my mental health: After finishing work tasks early, getting rest, remembering my long-term and short-term plans, and starting Season 4 of my favorite show Person of Interest, I feel better now. If I do get anxious or depressed, I can handle it better.
However, as for my physical health, I feel a bit weak and my throat is so itchy. I drank my medicine already so my itchy throat does not become a full-on cough or (worse) a cold. I’m worried that I may skip my weekly affogato fix at my favorite spot if I don’t feel physically better this coming weekend.
What else? Oh… I mentioned that I’m now on Season 4 of Person of Interest. This is the show’s 2nd to the last season, and I’m sad knowing the end is almost near. But I can always turn that sadness around by re-watching Person of Interest again or watching another favorite series like Chuck or How I Met Your Mother.
Moving on, what are my plans that will keep me going? I can tell 1 plan: watching the upcoming R-rated superhero movie Deadpool & Wolverine with my brothers and cousins. I’m excited to see 2 of my favorite Marvel characters team up on the big screen! Deadpool & Wolverine, in Philippine cinemas July 24, 2024.
And… that’s about it for now. Happy hump day!
