Hey Beth and everyone, sorry I haven't posted, I've mostly been posting in the schizophrenia forum, hard to keep up with two threads that both move so fast

I'm doing well, I went to the dentist yesterday and got a cleaning and exam. I have a couple cavities so I have a followup appointment to get them filled. Trying to keep up with better dental hygiene now though so hopefully this doesn't happen again at my next cleaning. I'd like to have a cleaning where they say everything is fine. I'm brushing 2-3 times a day, flossing 2 times a day, using Listerine total care flouride mouthwash every time I brush, and using sensodyne pronamel intensive enamel repair toothpaste. I am also purchasing an Oral B electric toothbrush, I have only ever used basic manual tooth brushes. I wanted something a little more advanced that can help my teeth get more thoroughly cleaned each time I brush.

I went grocery shopping today, completely didn't occur to me that today is the Friday before Super Bowl Sunday, there were TONS of people in the grocery store and it was extremely overwhelming, I had a panic attack and started dissociating. So I got most of what was on my list, left quite a bit off though to get next week though, I was trying to get out of there as fast as possible because the panic attack was getting really bad. I normally go really early in the morning when hardly anyone is there, I ended up waking up late today and going around 11am. So it was super busy between the time of day and the super bowl weekend coming.

I'm doing mostly good though, I got a letter from my doctor saying I am able to manage my own money now so I will no longer need a representative payee. I have had one since I was 19 and am 28 now. So I'm going to social security to fill out the paperwork and submit all that to them to hopefully become my own payee.

The cats are doing well, they have been playful and sweet as usual

Ive been exercising. Getting on the treadmill for 30 minutes nearly every day, taking lots of walks outside, and doing other workouts, and am taking a yoga class which I went to on Wednesday, it's an hour long yoga class. I enjoy it. This stuff helps my mental health, and of course physical health as well.

I bought an air fryer and have been using that, it's amazing.

So sorry about your mom Nammu, I will keep you all in my thoughts/prayers

Hugs to everyone here, I haven't really been able to catch up but also welcome to the new members because I noticed a few new ones and I think a returning member as well
