Thank you for this. I have to give myself tons of grace and thatās new. Still a struggle. This is a long road. Itās so worth it even if I have days where I can barely cope. Weāre always doing better than we think, ya know? I know these are still early days. Things will get much better soon.

Checking in. Iām feeling very negative. I think Iām just overwhelmed. I think in addition to ADHD I might on the autism spectrum. I tend to meltdown when over stimulated.
But I have vacation coming up, so thatās a positive. Visiting my mom, who conveniently lives near a beach.

Sending you loads of love my friend. I am so very sorry that you are feeling this un-safeness. Here for you love. I do hope that you are able to find security in your surroundings. Remember that you are not alone and you are amazing. Keep working your recovery 
@juli1 So sorry to hear that you are having such struggles my friend. I know that I went through much emotional ups and downs for the first few months of sobriety as my body was regulating to live without the alcohol. You may also want to check out your hormonal levels. I know that you are young but sometimes our bodies create spikes and dips that can really mess with our minds. Do make sure that they test these for you at multiple times in a month to see where you are in a months cycle 
ODAAT my friend ā 140 days and going strong 
@mindofsobermike Sorry Mike ā hope you are able to get on a good medication dosage. Weird palpitations are not natural ā should you get this looked into?

2 years 3 months 16 days no self harm
my major issue was not having any luck with jobs and Igot a job!! I havenāt started yet but I filled out all the paperwork yesterday, and I start as soon as they get my fingerprint records back. the drive is about 20 minutes so Iām also going to start trying to learn to drive on the weekends. I canāt take being dependent on my family to go everywhere anymore. Iām working in a daycare and assistant teaching for preschool! Iām also taking college classes on top of it and while I think itās stressful, I think this will keep me busy and force me into a routine and force me to take better care of myself.
for my birthday, I decided to make it fun and I got tickets to an interactive art exhibit called meow wolf in Denver. and then after that Iām going to spend the night at my best friendās house who I havenāt seen in a year!
I really feel like this is where things start to look up. Im going to set a reminder to check in weekly so I donāt keep missing out on the community. thanks for checking on me @JazzyS

I had a pretty productive day today. Hit the gym, made my 2nd free training appt with the personal trainer for next week, did a thorough vaccuming of the apartment, dusted, and did the dishes. Feeling pretty good about my recovery 
I did experience some strong anxiety surrounding food tho. Just with the fear of eating too much which could trigger a binge. I was able to eat supper by listening to my body and stopping when full. This is huge for me. I find eating slowly and mindfully helps alot. I havent binged in quite some time (I havent been keeping track) but im finding that, besides today, i rarely think about food. Its fuel for me now as opposed to it being a crutch. So i feel like im making progress in this area. Working out as been my new obsession also. Its been very therapeutic for me. Have a good night everyone!

1838
I learned in school 1838 is the year that Belgium gained itās independence from The Kingdom of the Netherlands. In Belgium itās the year their war of independence ended, after they began their own independent state in 1830. Thereās always at least two sides to things. Try to look with open eyes and from different perspectives.
I make an exception for addiction. Staying in active addiction is never good and all bad. Never again. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. I will, and I have one day of experience work before my weekendās here. Love.
