OKAY so I fell off, but now I’m back. I think dating had distracted me from taking care of myself and paying attention to my needs. Currently trying to build an effective evening routine to keep myself balanced and also go to sleep at a reasonable time.

HELL YEAH CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 not an easy substance to quit, I’m glad u found a way for u that works. Even if it involves a lot of Monster

We are in similar working-out boats. Rooting for the both of us.

Good job!

He liked the flowers!

Dating endeavors continue. Today is my first time getting flowers for someone! We’ll see how it goes. I have been doing an ok job of scheduling all of these doctors appointments I need to go to. Areas of life where I have not been doing so good are: doing paperwork for my job so I’m not extremely overwhelmed when I have to do it all at once. Also: working out more consistently.

Dating continues to go pretty good, having conversations with friends and coming to terms w previously very negative beliefs about myself regarding undateability. It’s partially money, partially trauma, but I have kind of made life hell for myself for like the past 7 years. It makes me think of life changes I want to make to no longer feel so left out of life.

You did so much!

Hooray! Hello :)

Yay welcome :)

One of the things that I like most about exercise is that mindset of “I need to eat enough carbs/ protein/ fat/nutrients to [accomplish fun physical activity and build muscle]” :D

instead of “I mustn’t eat lest I become fat” :/

which was the mindset handed down by my mom.

The podcast looks right up my ally. Drugs have always been part of the human experience. Anyway good job this week.

Dating endeavor is progressing, got a second date. And going to have a third date! I really like the guy. I’ve lived so long thinking it was hopeless, I wish I had started sooner.

Went on a bunch more dates in the last few weeks. It feels like I’m really getting over my fear. :) Still afraid of a lot of relationship-related stuff but I feel like I’m exposure therapying myself successfully. Been getting kind of burnt out and knocked off track bc of work. Was able to protect a lil more time for myself this weekend to recover.

I went on a date for the first time in many years! And I turned them down in a way that is normal and kind and not neurotic and avoidant. Big changes.

Also feeling kind of burnt out from work, and in need of surgery for a long-term joint problem, but no real way to take time off. :/ will work on it.

Oop posted in the wrong thread. Just finished reading the list. I think I’m gonna go join a protest.

I finally forced myself onto Hinge even tho I am very anxious about dating. Now to get myself to express interest towards anyone.

My sleep continues to have Big Problems but I think I know how to fix it.

I’m gonna try that. Thank u for the idea.
