	But still, I feel lost all the time. Lost in the program (What should I be doing? What should I be focussing on?), lost in the people (How can I speak up?), and lost in myself. As some of you know, I have been struggling with my mental health for many years. Nov-Feb especially was expecially bad. I'm trying to find my way with this, but it's hard. I keep running into myself in ways I can't seem to escape. I feel stuck in paralyzing spirals of interconnectivity.		But still, I feel lost all the time. Lost in the program (What should I be doing?

I get tempted by insecurities and trap myself with a paralyzing amount of documentational work, in the name of 'justification' or 'validation'. I struggle to find the balance with the wiki, too. I think these experiments are nice, but it shouldn't prevent me from doing work outside of it. Similarly, my role in any group project shouldn't just be 'documenting', even though this is in my comfort zone.
