Poem: "Traumatic Inertia"
This poem was written outside the prompt calls, and posted as barter for nanila. It is a direct sequel to "The Hardest Part" in the Polychrome Heroics series.
"Traumatic Inertia"
Damask's Journal
Maze: I can't seem to get out of bed today.
Mira: Me neither.
Ham: Did anyone get the license number of that truck?
Clement: Not fucking funny.
Clarity: Let's think of something we can do in bed, then.
Keane: We'll just spend the day processing.
Don't worry, folks, I got this.
* * *
Notes:
(Links for apathy, inertia, and depression are the best I could find, but some still refer to "laziness." :( If anyone can suggest more positive replacements, that's welcome.)
Apathy is a lack of motivation, which can result from PTSD, depression, or other causes. Contrast it with other emotional states. Inertia is a limitation in fitness. Depression increases this, but exercise can reduce depression and anxiety. Here are some tips for exercising while depressed. There are ways to overcome apathy, break inertia, and ease depression.
Emotional processing is necessary after major upheavals. Know how to process and release emotions. The other headmates may not appreciate Keane much, but he's crucial to the system's functionality.
