Checking in. Dammit, my asshole “friend” is on a war path again. He keeps sending me really nasty emails where he criticize me being sober and now he also calls me with names because I’m a vegan. But this time I’m not triggered, because I can feel he’s hurting so badly, so I don’t reply him at all, I just let him rage. It’s pretty sad actually.

But despite of all that drama, today has been a pretty good day. Sun was shining and temps were around - 6 Celsius which was really nice. I took a walk and now I’m reading a book and about to make some coffee. Life feels good at the moment despite the unknown fear and anxiety.

Day 710

Still have a bug :microbe: I’d like it to go away now please. I’m terribly impatient.
Haven’t run since Saturday so I’m very much in my own head, can’t wait til I can get back to it. Nothing has ever kept my thoughts in check the way running has.
On the positive side, I WFH so I can still work, and get cat cuddles all day while doing so.

I hadn’t been using the journal feature on here but I have started doing so the past couple of days.

What now?! :face_with_raised_eyebrow: If you say so :joy: The same thing happened to me with someone who was treating me like shit. I realized how sick they were and instead of letting it get to me, just felt sorry for them. If it does start bothering you, I suggest blocking them, at least temporarily, but just know they say these things to make everyone hurt as much as they do. It is sad :pensive:

Haha! :joy:

Sorry to hear you had similar experiences. Yeah, I have already blocked his phone number and Signal account, but for some reason, emails are easier to tolerate. But if he keeps raging, I’m gonna block his email too. I know he’s hurting because he told me some time ago that he’s drinking and using drugs, so I understand that I’m kinda like mirror to him, he wants also to be sober but I’m afraid he can’t at the moment, so he’s pouring his emotions to me. Sad indeed.

Checking in on my workday morning.
Life is a lot of work these days, all day every day.

Just gotta keep breathing deep, keep my chin up, and push through. Looking forward to December 24th and 25th!

Glad to hear you have the knowledge of what is going on and can tackle what needs to be done. As for salads there are so many healthy choices that are tasty.

I agree. I kind of wished the doctor wouldnt of worded it like that. Fatty liver due to diet lol. I guess its better it being because of something else, which i didnt know if it could possibly be bc of somethint else. I really do indulge in sweets though, specially in the middle of the night. But it still doesnt really explain why i have always felt so fatigued and tired a good portion of my life. I havent always had fatty liver. Either way, i know eating healthier needs to be done, i geuss its sometimes hard to accept that.

I understand your feelings. Diet is something you can work with. There is plenty of room for sweets. Try to pick the best choices. Glad you are here.

Day 3 - Checking In, another day in the office, actually really enjoying being here, seems to keep me grounded a lot more than working from home.

Goals for the day:

  • work
  • three whole meals
  • meet up with a friend for lunch/coffee
  • read

Thinking of you all today and just want to say, you are not your past decisions, you are built for goodness love and peace!
