Thank you @jazzys I’ll try those! I went to the gym today for the first time in a week and feel great, ready to eat healthier and not snack so much :flexed_biceps:

Lazy morning so far. It’s warm here in San Diego. Yesterday was 83 degrees. I turned my A/C on this morning for the first time this year. Cori is still on antibiotics as her white blood cell count has continued to climb. hopefully she just has something that will run its course. She’ll get another blood test in a week. If her white blood cell count is still high, they will do another ultrasound, which will be $$. I’ll do some consulting today. Never meant for all my consulting income to go to vet bills, but what are you going to do… I need to go to a nursery at some point today to look for some plants for my mom to give her tomorrow. Happy Saturday to you all!

Thank you. I spent the last night at the old place. I was staying in my big brothers old room. He passed in October. I just lost it. Not sure what happened exactly but it was a self harming mission. Luckily the new home is in a comfortable neighborhood. We are finally not watching out for the leasing office and such. I’m not staring at memories of my brother. I know I need a therapist at this point but I don’t have insurance. About to check out better help and see if that is worth it. THANK YOU FOR BEING BY MY MESSED UP SIDE TO REMIND ME I CAN DO THIS. I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL. :sparkles::pink_heart:

Girl you are in good company here. We are all working on recovering from our messy life’s. You have to give yourself some love as you grow and heal.

Grief is not linear and can creep up on you out of the blue. I do hope you find someone to talk to as I’ve found that helpful when processing emotions and triggers

Take it ODAAT :hugs:. Glad you are here with us Cass. Much love to you :sparkling_heart:

Six years + 1 day.

So many of you helped make this happen, and continue to keep me strong.

One of the things that helped stop that running repetitive reel in my head was to remind myself that I already made my choice so I didn’t need to revisit/rethink it. Every time I started in with that self talk I would kick the thought(s) out and replace them with something else to fill up the space in my head. Also, the old rule, move a muscle, change a thought worked for me too.
