Hey again. Oh yes I know what you mean...I only ever saw one place like that before. (But that was about a different issue) That was like some really strange and new experience to me LOL

Thanks extra for the examples. Yeah an accountability partner, that would be good. I used to want to work on it together with my best friend at the time, because we both were having issues.... That def would have been such a mood & motivation & energy booster but eh. Not looking back to the past. So yeah I've never had an accountability partner but it sounds just like what would work for me at this point. I don't need it to be a good friend anymore really...like I used to want that. I used to want to work like that with someone who's experienced the same isolation issues. The best friend back then did have the same issue. Thinking out loud, it's true it would be ideal if it's someone who's recovering and at a similar phase I am at. Whether they had isolation before or not, but it would obviously be better if they did experience it too.
I do know this guy who's had it, but he's still not at the phase where he would want to do work. So we can't really be accountability partners, though at least he's at least got as far now as, fixing his sleep schedule & doing volunteering in something he likes (online). But I was at that years ago (fixing my sleep). The volunteering he does, I did that too before (also online). I know a girl too, who's had the same issue with isolation, yeah, but again I don't think we are at the same point. Neither of them are even willing to go seek external help or take the idea seriously that they can't solve it all alone. It's so hard to try and work with them that way. I can just hope they will get there one day... It's too bad, they are all a similar age as me, including former best friend. Why we couldn't make a group or something, I don't even know. It could even have been IRL as we all live in the SAME city.
Anyway that aside... I can't make a goal about that one (as it wouldn't just depend on me, right?). So other goals.
I didn't really have a chance today to do the work like I planned to for most days (if I can get out of my head in the morning), I will from Friday. Today and tomorrow it's me going out to sort out a few things. I usually don't have to go out. Well good news for today is I did sort out most things I wanted to but really tired now. I have got so unused to going out since the summer (this summer was very good, I actually had energy there like I hadn't for years). I still have to do at least a little work (didn't get a chance until now), or I won't feel good, lol. Also, if I can keep doing the training tomorrow that'll be really good news. Especially if I can for more than 2 weeks without either getting sick or getting a mood problem.
So my goals for this evening & tomorrow are:
- This evening: do at least as much work as yesterday evening. (That was about 40 minutes. 38 minutes to be exact.)
- Tomorrow: I do have to do a little work in the morning (about an hour, or 1.5 hours, easy enough too), then going out to the appointment with the psychiatrist, etc (other errands that piled up). Then the 15 mins jog in the afternoon. Then some more work late afternoon or in the early evening...Evenings are easier for me.
If I can get all this done that will already be a particularly good day. I do have them sometimes, but the goal is, you see, have a string of them, not just 1-2 good days lol.
Wish me luck yeah.
PS. Oh you asked in your other post if we read your titles. I for one do
