  • Depending on the tablet, you might not be able to unlock the bootloader. I have a Chinese Lenovo model Y770 that’s not unlockable.

    You can always remove your google account from the tablet and install Aurora Store and f-droid to keep google from tracking what you’re using. Every step in the right direction is a step away from google.

    Using Open Street Maps, Mull, Brave, librewolf, various proton apps or whatever you prefer will let you get away from the built in google stuff.
















  • Take your dog for a walk if you’re able. Go for 2 or 3 a day if you can stand it.

    Assuming you weren’t on the lowest dose of whatever med it was and you didn’t step down for fear of heart related issues, you might need a week or 3 to readjust to raw emoting.

    Find a group you can join and talk to/listen to. Look for a CBT group, a local men’s group, a singles group maybe. Volunteer at a community/senior center if you can stand to.

    Barring all those options being feasible, go find a 12-step group and bring donuts. Tell them you aren’t comfortable sharing just yet and sit and listen.

    It’s unfortunately very natural to feel hopeless and helpless in these trying times, just don’t give up hope and be willing to accept help if it comes your way.
