    Acknowledging my past

    How can I peel the curtain back on my life to others if I'm too scared to look behind it myself? Until I was about 6-7, my family had lived in 4-5 places. It's a range because at one point before I started school my older brother and I lived with our grandma. Not our parents though, no clue...

    How have you treated yourself recently? As in, something you did just for yourself.

    I got myself some new car fresheners - themed after two different rock bands. Simple but brings me a little joy/satisfaction getting into my car everyday.

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    A little better. I feel clean, fed, and rested - that all makes me feel a little less vulnerable emotionally.

    What’s your favorite?

    Anything glass with a leak-proof, easy to clean top. Had a double walled one with a built in tea strainer that I absolutely loved, but I broke it with my butter fingers not too long ago😔 Favorite feel good movie?

    Small things, great victories. What’s yours?

    I've made it 3 days now eating within a few hundred calories of my budget 🙌 I'm still under my goal, but at least I haven't woken up in the middle of the night hungry with a headache - so I think that's progress

    How have you treated yourself recently? As in, something you did just for yourself.

    I definitely think a bit of controlled, safe isolation is great self-care sometimes, it feels like damage control for me in my worst moments. Hope you also allow yourself to focus on comforting and supporting yourself in other ways while you stabilize.

    How have you treated yourself recently? As in, something you did just for yourself.

    Love the entries! I took myself to the bookstore and got a new cooking book that I'm actually excited to use just a few days ago. Haven't been cooking much and it's been taking a toll on my food intake - plus anything that'll keep me from having to stare at a screen longer is welcome lol hate...

    Acknowledging my past

    I'm feeling avoidant towards most things in my life right now. I'm definitely feeling avoidant about reliving my past at all - but I feel like I haven't done an exposure entry in a while, which was the main point of this diary for me. Again maybe it'll help relieve some pent-up catharsis. One...

    Acknowledging my past

    Just venting for 15mins : currently feeling a bit shit - I'm feeling like I'm a terrible friend, and making things difficult for everyone else around me wherever I go. I feel like I keep ruining relationships and pushing people away. I feel like I always end up accidentally setting bridges on...

    Political Venting

    I don’t, and I have a number of reasons why that I argue are just too many fundamental issues in one person, and by proxy administration, that can only reliably be summed up as structurally unsound at best. I don’t like the rhetoric he uses of “us against them” when he speaks about his...

    Political Venting

    Just did a moderate dive into uk election predictions and coverage - had no idea what was happening there. A little concerning to see the interests and convenient narrative of the current administration spilling over there - if my short research was at all accurate. The timing of Barron Trump’s...

    Ask a foreigner

    Yes traveling over there (Europe) was a fun change for me when I visited - in general I loved how easy and efficient it was to get everywhere on public transport. Only places we had a bit of issues getting around were Iceland and the Treviso, inland Venice area of Italy - missed the last train...

    Political Venting

    I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the seemingly impossible task of effectively cutting through the echo chambers of news sources in the US today - and the effect it's had on sowing divide, distrust, fear and anger. I'm especially upset at the disparate coverage of the tragic killing of Alex...

    Acknowledging my past

    Feeling..alright. Had a short back and forth with R over text, she replied to my last message saying she understands, but if I "need to talk about it" with her I can. I said I wouldn't feel comfortable talking to her about how I'm handling taking space from her, andf that I have no issues with...
