I’m really sorry to hear you are going through these feelings. It’s hard to feel this way. I hope you can acknowledge the guilt and then let it go. Depression, sadness and anxiety are all such difficult feelings to sit with. Sometimes we just need to let ourselves cry and feel this way. Sometimes we need more support. I hope you reach out further if you do. I know we are all here for you. You will get through this even though right now it might not feel like it. It reminds me of a quote I read…“you’re going to be happy, said life, but first I’m going to make you strong”

My lease is up on May 6. I am scheduled to go to sober living on Wednesday. I’m nervous because I’ve never gone to one of these so far from home. I’ve also flirted with the idea of going back to Saint Augustine. I miss the rain and the beach, and things being familiar. But I think the right decision is to go to the Sober living to continue my journey here in Tucson Or at least give myself more time to make a Decision. Since I came out here to Tucson to focus on recovery I broke even with making money. But I’m trying to remain grateful. I’m taking care of needs. I am sober. I will figure out the career and adult things little by little.
I know these are hard times and strange times for everyone. I know that I’m not the only one struggling. I appreciate this community so much. I’m trying to be more involved even though I overthink and second-guess everything. And even though I’m not always directly reaching out on here I am reading through just about everything… I hope everyone has a good day. Stay strong and thank you !!

Lunchtime check-in from Chicago O’Hare on the go. Day 323.
Hey @Mno I am glad that Luna is getting good treatment. I had a doggo years ago with kidney problems. We did subcutaneous fluids and a special diet and she lived several more years. It did wonders. I hope Luna is feeling better quickly

Tonight will be day 60 of no self harm. (2 months!) I dunno how I feel about counting but I thought that it was a milestone I should share.
Today’s Saturday so it’s gonna be rough. However I finally have some good news.
I have this friend I’ve known since we were 8. She moved out of state when we were 11 or so, but we’ve kept in touch since. I’ve had a crush on her as long as I’ve known her.
Yesterday I was so upset I decided that I was going to tell her because I didn’t know what would happen with me in the future and I didn’t want to regret never saying anything.
Turns out the feeling is mutual and we are dating!! We both have a lot of similar trauma and issues with affection. So we are taking it slow and just trying to figure out what we are both comfortable with since neither of us have had a serious relationship. It’s not your traditional dating, but I feel so comfortable with her. We went through some very difficult things together as kids so we have similar issues and know how to hold each other accountable. I’m honored to have her in my life
