@anon74766472 Franzi and @Faugxh , thanks for checking in on me. It gave me the energy I needed to finish the post I started writing a week ago. It gave me the energy to take on my pain for a while before repressing again.
I’m grateful for everybody who cares about me. I always think no one really cares about me because I see myself as an annoying whiny person who’s been crying about his issues for years without actually putting in any real effort. And if I do, it’s only for short periods of time. But you guys always cheer me on. You get me better than most people. You guys can empathize better than my friend and most of my family. Thanks everyone.
P.S. If you want to read more about how I’m doing, I posted an update in Feeling like a fucking loser - #31 by Crazy_Dutchie

Im glad to see u Jan!!! Im sorry ur struggling. I do want to say tho, that this statement:
I dont agree with bcuz i DO see u putting in a hell of a lot of real effort. I truly do. And even tho I dont know u personally, i have read ur posts over the years and i just have to say that i see ur effort 
recovery from anything isnt a straight line. It ups n downs. And even tho u may be in one of ur low states currently, u have the ability to rise up again! Hugs Jan

Hey Kevin thanks for checking up on me man. I’m doing really good and feeling very strong in my recovery, still at the half way house and probably will be here for a while which is something im really coming to terms with and just accepting and being ok with what comes my way. Doing groups regularly, meeting with my councilors and therapist weekly. Hoping something sticks 
. Gym sessions are going well, all and and all just feeling pretty content, not complacent. But content, I’ll try checking in more often I really appreciate the tag man. Much love

I’m going to ask you to cut yourself some slack! As long as I have been here (2 years this week) I have seen you put in a lot of effort. Ups and downs like the rest of us. But no lack of effort that I can see. I care about you, Jan.

Hey girl, thanks!
Still struggling with long COVID. Started PT to hopefully help with the fatigue and muscle weakness, and also to help with the dizziness. Just started recently so not sure how it’s going so far. Got my psych meds stabilized so I’m not dealing with nearly as much depression from the long COVID, thankfully!
Still sober as fuck!
