Good day, for a change. An old friend I haven't heard from in a while got in touch. He wanted to get together, but we no longer live nearby because I moved. It turns out, he passes close to my house twice a month, visiting a client of his new business venture. So, we're going to meet up here for lunch next week.

Nervous about quitting marijuana tomorrow. Been tapering off this week. I smoked a cigarette today, not a regular smoker but I have in the past.
I'm going to miss the buzzy high and way it lowers my inhibitions. Creatively and socially it gives me a boost. I'm an introvert and it really helps me talk to people, makes it easier sometimes. I know I have it in me, I just need to practice doing it organically... I think I have a good plan to deal with the cravings and physical withdrawals, but I'm still feeling apprehensive. No one wants to intentionally make themselves feel bad I.e. withdrawals. In the long run I'll feel better if I persevere 💪

Congratulations on your journey @Forestwalker - I have never been a smoker, but alcohol did the effects to me that you described above - especially with the creatively and socially part. I am sober three and half years now. But I hope you persevere; I believe in you!

Today is an amazing day. Had a great day at church, and then made it to my parents' house watching old game shows with my mom, it's been a very fun afternoon - I feel really good.

I’m extremely lazy today. And very hungry but what I want is a braunschweiger sandwich. But I don’t want to buy all the ingredients or I’ll have lots of waste. There’s one deli that might have it but they aren’t open today.

Feeling pretty good, worked on my monthly budget and finances for the next couple of months, and just getting organized. Didn't go out today, but I know I have a lot to do tomorrow, so just doing what I can at home today.

Hey!
Im not doing too well at all. My anxiety and hypochondria is getting to me, bad! I been to hospitals after hospitals, doctors after doctors, ran so many test but still believe they’re missing something and i have something deadly, even though they said they’re more than likely im not dying. Im going tomorrow for a 3rd opinion and another EMG because i dont believe the first normal one. I really think im driving myself insane. I only have 1 symptom which they tell me since i had a normal EMG is benign but why don’t I believe them? This was my fear, i told my loved ones my anxiety is so bad, even if i get the all clear im not sure I’ll believe it. I should be on medication but ding ding ding my anxiety makes me scared of it.

I can't do anything because of these dumb ulcers and inflamation that prevent me from doing much. I went out today for a couple hours and ended up puking in a Sonic cup on the way home

I can't do something I want to do because I can't be barfing all the time and dehydrating myself and barely eating only works for so long.

Yeah I'm a bit of a grump right now. Hopefully the increase in stomach meds starts working soon.

Dewd, i wonder if an alcoholics anonymous program could help you to stay off the soda-drink? You kinda keep relapsing, thinking a little bit wont hurt you, but then it does. Its like the same mindset, just a different substance. If you could get to a 30 day abstinence, ya know? Even the one day, one week awards could help you track your positive progress. Or just ask the gut dr or your therapist for suggestions? On how to attain this abstinence, at least til your ulcer heals. Medicine alone wont fix it, i dont think.

I mean yeah I am overdoing it a bit. I sometimes drink 3-4 cans in a row. I just have this intense thirst. I see my therapist tommorow and I'll mention it to her.

I'm doing fine today. I'm just wondering at what point do you draw the line between "yeah thats fine" to sticking up for yourself. Because in the past I've been terrified of getting fired or getting certain diagnosis I've just let people walk all over me. But now I'm not really like that anymore. But today some things happened and I don't know if I was just being a people pleaser or just letting it happen. Idk if I'm making any sense.

And if I talk to my therapist about it I'll have to tell on my therapist and if I talk to my mom I'll have to tell on my mom and I don't know who would take it the worst.

I'm not doing good today. I slept badly last night and my therapist was unusually weird and she just brushed me off when I emailed her about it. I've been super anxious all day and I've been sick more then normal. Its been a weird day.

I feel fine mental health wise. I feel like I have the plauge or something. My stomach is a mess and I'm achy all over. I got stuff done today I just needed my boo bucket the whole time. I hope they bring those back this Halloween if this issue isnt fixed.

Feeling pretty good, but haven't started working yet - so a bit of procrastination going on. But I feel like really grateful and productive this morning.

This new feeling is great: grateful and productive. Don’t get upset about procrastination too much though, sometimes everybody requires a little break. Where do you allocate your focus once the preparation is done and you’re ready to go?
Thanks for this!

I was feeling crappy but I'm feeling better now. My shoulder is still cracking in multiple places when I move it, but I think I'm getting used to the pain. My blood pressure is kind of all over the place again but my stomach has been fine after 9 this morning. I haven't gotten sick after I switched from coffee and cherry RC to water.
