Day 122. Definitely woke up grouchy today. Said my gratitudes and still just not feeling it, trying to bring it around. I have a couple who was some tattoos today, they asked for them last night and just gave me quick little ideas, which Iā€™m sorry never helps me I need some like specific stuff also where are the tattoos going all that so I have this big mental block on what to put together. Plus I need to completely deep clean and disinfect everything still. But atleast I got ppl who want tattoos right? Anyways much love.

Checking in on day 105! Today I am starting my holidays, so Iā€™ll be off the entire next week! :heart_eyes:
Yesterday we had Rafa Nadal playing a golf tournament at the golf course where I work, I was the lucky one to check him in! That was yesterdayā€™s highlight of the day! :rofl:
Tuesday Iā€™m off to the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria) for a short break! Me, myself and I, spending my money that I havenā€™t wasted on booze and cigarettes in the past 3,5 months! Life is better sober! :innocent:

Checking in. Had my sister and mom over today. I tend to feel restless and stressed inside when I have my family over, and cant wait for them to leave. I want them over, but in the same time, I dont knowā€¦ We are so different, and I feel so, not uncomfortable but just wierd. I dont know. So now the rest of the day I been feeling anxeious and body(muscel?)pains.

Anyway! The cake I made was soooo good! First time I made it, it was delicious.

Hey Ethan I can hear you and itā€™s nice to see you open up a bit about your family. I know how hard it is to show our underbelly.

Finding the balance that works for us regarding giving and receiving energy is very personal. It is taking me sometime work out. I am still learning just how much is safe to give away and who it is safe to give to. I am finding it changes daily for me and that either it will be different daily or one day I will find a level that I can give away constantly. I am not great at balance yet so working within a steady flow has been difficult. There are safe people, people who do not suck energy, so donā€™t isolate yourself from everyone. You are still learning and sometimes learning is uncomfortable but uncomfort instigates growth.

Here to chat always.

Day 298 clean from self harm.

Havenā€™t been eating much at all these last few weeks. I eat some hard candy if my blood sugar drops and thatā€™s about it. Not helping with my exhaustion. Still barely slept yesterday but I finally managed to take a much needed shower.

Talked to my new friends for about 8 hours. Was really fun. Theyā€™re in different time zones than me so my mid afternoon is quite late for them. So i talk to them pretty much when I wake up until about 3pm. Itā€™s really helping to keep me busy. Once we all go back to school during the week weā€™ll talk less but itā€™ll be fun on the weekends at least.

Iā€™m ok today so far. Realizing that these are good people has helped me to feel supported. They donā€™t know about any of my issues but itā€™s easy to tell theyā€™re good people. For example, i briefly said I only buy clothes that hide my body and 2 of them gave advice. And then yesterday I started talking about some of my hobbies and i said ā€œIā€™ll shut up, i can ramble about this for hoursā€ and everyone told me to keep talking.

Iā€™m still exhausted but thereā€™s nothing I can do about that
