Not enough. I stopped taking my medicine I really miss my euphoria when I’m on it But I’m super irritable when I’m not on it . I also don’t spend enough time on my health I think helps stabilize me

I was out with my wife yesterday. Our pooch had her grooming appointment which takes a couple of hours. So, while she was getting all prettied up, my wife and I did some grocery shopping as well as shopping for some household goods we needed. I don't often go out like that.
Being out-&-about like we were yesterday exposes me to one trigger after another; plus it just absolutely wears me down to the point where my anxiety level is off the charts. It's a major struggle. And every time I know I'm going to be going out I know what I'm going to be facing because it's always the same. |

I chose to divorce and I chose to go back to work. Decisions I regret now but it’s too late to undo them. I could always go back on disability but I like not being dependent on the government and I also like not having to have sex with someone I don’t want to have sex with so… I also regret ending my engagement however I don’t miss being called names, being lied to, etc, so this is where I’m at.

If I am around other people, A LOT!!! If I'm at home in my reclusive happy place, not a lot...I'm happy.

24/7. Has been that way for over 9.5 years.
First it was just me trying to get through episodes, and the like. Then it was getting therapy, psychoeducation and then I would process things all day. Or I'd try to work but I really was only doing the work to stay over the surface and not drown (needed it to have a purpose/direction) It still is really like that, I guess now I can sometimes just enjoy things, and not just constantly process stuff, or read up on psychology for it etc. But still nearly 24/7 really and the work I do outside the psychology/processing still is me barely keeping over the surface. All this is really because I spent a full decade not doing any of this and I just had the really bad anergic dysthymia, unmanaged and everything. There is a lot to catch up on. Not just those ten years, but also what I had going on before it, a lot of stress with zero support whatsoever until shutdown at the age of 18. |
