I had terrible anxiety from coming back from overseas and also benzos. Was drinking a lot. Then I went into a downward spiral of anxiety and depression. Am now 2 months out of it, healthy and calm.

I’m getting better at brushing my teeth and for now I’m only doing it at night but it’s a start!

2 months ago I decided to run a monthly giveaway of my crew of 4 and up to $250 in materials to somebody doing it tough.

Recieved overwhelming nominations the first month, ended up choosing 2 winners.

One whom was terminal with asbestosis. The other who had an auto immune disease.

Everybody had an awesome day. An absolutely amazing feeling. If I won tattslotto, I'd do it every day for the rest of my life.

Thanks for listening!

I've been severely procrastinating on it because I was quite frankly sick of reviewing and analyzing Frankenstein, but I did it! My teacher is even letting me re-use this essay for our next unit! So yay me ^-^

My friend passed away today. They just moved her to hospice yesterday. I was work, and had a long break, so I took out my cross stitching to work on, which made me remember our Christmas SAL, which I haven't touched since my friend went into the hospital, because we were supposed to work on it together. I just started to cry, because now she's not coming out to work on it with us.

My husband ordered dinner for us so I didn't have to deal with it, and I've been laying in bed ever since. I decided that tonight it's okay to feel sad. It's okay to do nothing. Tomorrow, even if I'm not at 100%, I will get up and do the things around the house that need to be done.

Tonight, I've given myself permission to grieve.

I am conditioning myself so i can run my first 18km this June and first 21km this sept

Ran for 12km some yrs ago and it is hard to re achieve this!!! But i will be better in the coming days! 💪🏼

So recently I have unfortunately been in one of my worst depressive episodes yet. And as we all know due to this happening in those times your personal hygiene goes out of the window because you don't see any need to take care of yourself because you just can't. But today I managed to actually do it, yes it has been tough for me but I got it done so yayee me.

I’ve dealt with chronic illness for some time and I just got a date with someone who is super accommodating to my illnesses. They are chronically sick also and I am super accommodating to them. I’m so excited for the date.

I've been cutting it way too close since the semester started. Every day most of my spare time is going to school related stuff or studying to the point I'm regularly going to bed after 12.

Especially chemistry. I spent 5 hours straight the other day just working on 9 questions until I finally understood.

It's been seriously cutting into the time I've spent with my kid so I've been waking up early to study just so I can give him a couple hours undivided attention in the evening.

But I don't know how today but I suddenly realized I was caught up. No last minute scramble, I even have my readings done a couple days early, and it's not even dinner.

Tonight I get to take my kid and hopefully meet up with a friend at a community center and do some fun stuff.

I can't believe it. Every day I've been obsessively checking my class modules and wondering if I've bit off more than I can chew. Last summer I was prescribed ADHD meds that I stopped taking because it made me feel stupid, and I had been seriously considering getting back on just so I could focus better.

But shit I did it. Semester isn't over yet but I feel like now that I'm caught up, I can stay caught up.

And I also got my kid to try raw purple cabbage with salt, which it turns out he loves which is a big win because there are so many foods he doesn't eat.

I had surgery at the end of January on my thumb and wrist (I tore a ligament).

Today I finally called to get my winter tires. Got the tires in my brz.. And the battery decided that it wasn't having it.

I actually was able to squeeze the clamps for the battery pack to jump the car. After weeks and months of physical therapy, I'm starting to get back to normal.

I have schizoaffective disorder and have been really struggling in university while continuously adjusting my meds. I didn't think I would get through this semester after a prof had to bring me to the hospital but today I wrote my last final and can take the summer off. I'm one year away from finishing my degree and I didn't think this would be possible. I have a 3.8 GPA despite everything I'm going through. I just wanted someone else to be proud of me too

38f and my body is lucky if it gets pure water once a month. I just don't register that I'm thirsty. I'll drink 1 java monster moca loca a day and a 20oz bottle of coke if i even finish that. The only time I really drink water is at sit down restaurants because their tap water is usually pretty great, but I can rarely finish a full glass.

Well, a few days ago I added water to my diet because I felt crampy. It's rough, I've been severely constipated since starting, my colon is probably super confused, but water isn't actually tasting like snot anymore. I've just finished a forty ounce bottle that I bought last night.

Hooray!

So I (F20) went on a date with a guy (M18) for the first time ever and it went well, he wants to go out again!

It's been 10 years since I decided to come off drugs. I did it cold turkey. It almost killed me but I am now happy healthy and moving forwards

Got renters and car insurance finally. We were really scared of getting super high rates but we got a deal for 98/month for both cars. I’m just glad we did this now so we don’t have to worry about not being covered anymore.

Just decided I was sick of it last Sunday and it's been a lot easier than I thought.

we were only sort of friends, but he was acting really toxic. basically we both like racing and he knew there was this one driver i really like and he doesn't and kept bringing him up and detailedly disassembling what he hates about him when he knew I really like the guy. he would make unfunny "jokes" saying he was gonna block me (no emojis, no lols or anything), and then would go "god it was a joke, all my jokes go over your head". not to mention he continously implied he thinks i'm stupid and one time straight up said he thinks im psychotic and i need therapy. also he would tell me good night and when i said it back he'd just go "ehhh... probably not but whatever". cut him off before i was too seriously damaged.

I was having intense anxiety for many weeks I would literally wake up feeling so much anxity and it would continue the whole day,but I finally I manged a week without it some how.

Have been too sad and nauseous to eat almost at all since being broken up with five days ago. Finally ate lunch today!

For the first time in three weeks.

And can I just say, I hate it when people use teeth brushing as the example of a habit that you “don’t need to make yourself do, you just do it automatically.” Just about all self-help content I’ve ever consumed presents it as a universal truth. It kind of makes me feel like crap, like if I can’t even do the one thing supposedly everyone can do, how will I ever establish any other healthy habits?

i honestly didn't even expect to get in, i applied more-so just to say i did, but i got accepted with a taship that covers the cost of my tuition! i'm going for my M.A in english with a concentration in religion and literature. i can't believe that this is happening and it feels too good to be true :,)

Hello! I am 15 and just recently got my permit, my mom drove after school to pick me up, but I got to drive us back home! I had recently driven before, but only in an empty parking lot. This was my first real experience with breaking, turn signals, and real people on the road! I did pretty good, just need to work on easing into breaking and not driving off the road lolol! (when you’re in the drivers seat, it looks like the cars next to you are a LOT closer than they actually are (￣□￣;)!! )

My most expensive car by over 6k!

My current (and cheapest) car is a pile of rubbish! It got me from a-b which was all I needed it for while I saved. 21 years old, broken speakers, broken radio, oil leak plus £££ in repairs. It served me well for a year and a half though.

I am so excited! The scrap company is picking it up at 8am and I get my new car at 2pm! 😁😁😁

This is a burner account, but I have over 25k followers on TikTok, and I just recently started partnering with small/obscure brands. One of my favorite bigger brands reached out to me from a legitimate email and pitched a collaboration opportunity. I'm over the moon. My baby steps are turning into strides.

I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I’m having to make some radical dietary changes.

I just made it 2 weeks without any kind of refined sugar. No chocolate, candy, soft drinks… I made it through birthday parties with cake and ice cream served. I had to just watch as my kids got through their Easter baskets. This had been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

So I have a not-so-great habit of letting food crumbs that fall on the floor sit there for weeks before I actually get around to sweeping them. I know, it’s a bad habit, but I live alone so I don’t have any roommates on my case about cleaning. Today I cleaned the crumbs on the floor finally!!!

So I have pretty bad executive dysfunction and mental health issues. Recently, I got an executive functioning coach and we set a few goals. I made a spreadsheet called “Task Tracker” and wrote six things in the rows: brush teeth (AM and PM), feed the cat, clean the litterbox, shower, and one called “extra task”. Normally, I do 2 or 3 of those, but today I did everything except the extra task. The only catch is that the spreadsheet starts on Sunday.

Unfortunately I can’t post a pic here but I made Reese’s Temptations!!! They’re basically a super thick and soft cookie with a Reese’s peanut butter cup pressed in the middle. I just ate one and they are soooo good, I totally see why they are called temptations!!!!

I have a panic disorder and usually take a Valium before big events (hundreds of people) and I forgot it and had a panic attack before a friend calmed me down; and I got through it!

Edit: Thank you all! This made my day. Reminder that you can do that thing even if it stresses you tf during it!

I’ve unemployed for 7 months now…and about to turn 30… had an interview this week that I prepared for… but still wasn’t enough. I choked up, spoke too fast, forgot key things I’ve done that could have landed me the job….

Anywho… I’ve taken it as an opportunity to set my ego aside and actually practice speaking my parts of an interview. I recorded myself while doing it and took my own critiques. My husband is even helping me with mock interviews. So I’m proud of my self for putting a little more effort into me and my job search.
