But I will wash my sheets later and that will be solved.
It's a good list. I'm working on everything on it in some way. I'm in school, I don't have my dream job yet but I'm working on it and playing much more frequently, I've made huge strides with LCM already even though I still have a long way to go. I've decided to take looking for a boyfriend really slowly. I'm not gonna just hook up with someone randomly or waste my time with guys who will pressure me. I have a steady job outside of my freelance work and it doesn't pay enough or have enough hours, but it is building a resume. Which reminds me I need to fill out an application for another job I found teaching music. I need more friends and the last ones you listed are very much not where they need to be.

That all sounds great! It seems that getting better in some ways doesn't seem as hard as others.
This is just my opinion, but I think taking your time and getting into a healthy relationship is so helpful for healing. Granted, you'll need to make sure you're taking care of yourself and your space to help the process along. Being with someone who wants your undivided attention, invites you into their private life, won't make you feel less than others in their life, etc will help you get past the obsessive feelings about LCM. The intimacy but boundaries can be incredibly hurtful if you don't have a strong support outside of therapy.
