I hope everyone is doing great! I have been having a rough few days hehe, I would normally be sleeping rn but I cant due to anxiety for a few days, i don’t have anyone else to talk with at the moment so here I am
Edittt: Also idk how many of u who come across this are anime fans, ignore otherwise, but for some reason i hv been wanting to watch (something like) toradora once again lol, it kinda keeps my mind occupied so i think of anime all day lol, if anyone has any suggestions pls drop them :)
I’m doing quite well. About a month ago I broke up with my ex, but since then I’ve done the following:
- Signed up for a performance dance class (I was already dancing, mostly to get more social)
- Made a connection there, so now the son of a woman I dance with is helping me fix bikes to give away
- Hosted two groups of guests riding their bicycles past my home (strangers, who I’ve enjoyed talking with)
- Put in more hours with the bike rescue, building some stronger bonds with people there
- Found out that one newish friend is planning on moving away. Boo hoo
- Completed a lot of DIY work for a kitchen remodel
So I am single, and likely to remain that way for a while. But I feel quite fulfilled, and I feel like I’m in a position to develop more, stronger friendships, platonic or otherwise. It has been an effort to get to this point, and the journey is far from over, but I’m happy to see progress.
Anxiety sucks, I hope that improves for you real soon! I’m doing great. I ordered food shopping online which is arriving tomorrow and I can’t wait to eat a lot of delicious food since I love eating! 🤤
As for anime, have you watched Clannad?
I am doing great.
I’m staying at a ridiculously opulent villa on a sun-drenched hillside in Italy. I had a fantastic watermelon salad with feta and prosciutto washed down with half a bottle of an excellent dry rosé for lunch. I’ve just finished a really good book and I’m about to go for a quick dip in the pool, then will probably play a board game with my wife and kids.
I tell you all this, not to gloat, but to highlight change and the possibility of it.
I’ve experienced depression and crippling anxiety in the past and, while you’re in the depths of it, it can be hard to believe things will ever change for the better.
But they can and they will.
You will have light and love and laughter again, my friend. You just need to tell yourself that this time is just a moment and like all moments it will pass, it is transitory like a cloud passing in front of the sun, a shadow cast over you.
I’ll raise a glass to you and drink to the shadow moving on from you sooner rather than later.
I am hanging in. I have this week off as vacation so at least I get a break during the day. Sorry you’re having trouble OP.
Not much. Went to neurology yesterday. Woke up an hour or so later than expected. Took an hour and a half to get there, took another hour and a half to wait in the waiting room, then took another for the actual appointment. Then went to Arby’s, then went home, had dinner, and then slept.
The appointment was educational though. Apparently my life situation is more complicatedly unified than I thought.
Do u mind me asking whats the purpose of a neurology? I thought it has something to do with nerves and stuff
Neurology doctors are for anything related to the brain. They’re the ones with the big brain scanners you see on TV shows with doctors, made to detect abnormalities people might be facing, such as tumors or schizophrenia.
