@frog I really agree with this! I'm happier since I lowered my standards on everything, like keeping my house neat (I can't manage the house), achieving things, etc. My MIs made me lower my standards, and so I couldn't 'do' perfectionism any more. I still have a little bit of it in my volunteer job, but luckily I don't tend to beat myself up too badly these days for mistakes...just a little bit.

Hi all
Oh how the news is getting me down atm. Anyone with some positive stories, please post!
I read about an heap of creative solutions to plastic pollution in Africa:
People are turning the stuff into house bricks, designer textiles, cooking fuel and more. Such innovations are being celebrated by the Afri-Plastic Challenge, which announced its shortlist this week. The prize was launched to help entrepreneurs in sub-Saharan Africa scale up their response to plastic pollution.

In the running is a Nigerian project that turns plastic waste into designer textiles; a buy-back scheme in Kenya that helps women earn money through plastic recycling; and a Rwandan project that turns plastic waste into school benches. The prize will also offer dozens of grants to startups with scalable ideas.

Hello @NatureLover @Faith-and-Hope @MDT @StuF @Snowie @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Adge and all forumites.

I really like the following story because this artist reminds me to look for positives in the ordinary:

I am struggling with anxiety for a number of reasons, including mainstream news media and social media. I also feel like I can't make a difference in the face of overwhelming suffering and, dare I say it, evil. My only solution atm is switching off, or at least taking breaks from it, but hope this article might help someone:
