I don't want to become apathetic, but I need to learn how to better process what's happening and continue living my life at the same time. Right now I'm walking around in a near constant state of dread, and tossing and turning every single night (which was how most of 2020 was for me). Which doesn't help me or anyone else.

It’s a tired horse to beat, but I’d recommend breathing if you haven’t tried it. My mind races just about every night unless I read myself to sleep. When it’s really bad I’ll often do some sort of hyperventilating exercise combined with breath holds, like the Wim Hoff thing. The rollercoaster of oxygen flushing the system and adrenaline (I think?) winds up being a stellar reset button and I can usually relax well after.
