Not so good. I woke up at around 6 a.m. because I had a dream that I had been fired. It took me a while to realize that it was just a dream.

Yes, unfortunately that's very common at the moment. A woman I knew died in August, shortly before her 35th birthday, from an overdose. I thought she had made it, but she had a stupid relapse, and with fentanyl that happens very quickly.

Some things sound familiar to me, others not so much. For me, it's mainly drug addiction and eating disorders. I used to drink when I was with people, simply because I was otherwise very inhibited. But you can smell alcohol, so I switched to psychotropic pills (Ritalin and the like). Later...

Thanks to everyone. I've learned how to deal with anger to some extent. In any case, I've managed not to become a criminal or suicidal. Anger is something that keeps me alive. Without anger, I would just be depressed. Anger helps me a lot, yes. And daydreaming, I can escape reality...
