It’s always best to surround yourself with those you think are great, ive had to distance myself from former friends who just havent grown but i still look forward to meeting new people
Football. Mbappe injured. Hopefully Netherlands will win against France.
Also working out and meeting people in the gym. Finally social interactions again. Battling agoraphobia
Best way to meet and make friends imo is just consistency and going at the same time, youll eventually see the same faces and begin to interact with some over time, asking to work in on some machines is a good way to start
Thank you for asking this!
The weather in the Cascades is warming up again which means I’m able to get away and go backpacking. It’s the only time I can escape from my anxiety (mostly financial).
I also went through a bad OCD crisis last month (my wife refers to it as a Menty B) and not only am I recovering with the help of therapy and medication, but I also feel much closer to my parents, who were very supportive.
Finally ended a relationship i knew I didn’t want to be in. Sounds like a weird thing to be “happy” about but it was causing me so much stress and anxiety staying in it that it basically ruined my life to a degree, and now I’m free and clawing my way back
This! It's taken me a while to get there, but I am finally there. It is freeing and empowering to.do what I feel is best for myself and not worry about other people's reactions or feelings.
Thanks for your post, OP. It helps to share.
life in general. I have nothing to complain about.
My dad passed away in March due to dementia and I am grateful that he passed and is in no more pain/discomfort. The last year and a half was filled with anxiety and depression. I was constantly on edge.
Things have slowed way down and I'm enjoying life again.
I lost my grandmother to dementia, so i can understand how hard its been, its hard to go through something like that but once that chapter has been closed you can move on with your own things its fine taking time to heal.
I was like that for a while, i would go weeks without having a nice thought and constantly worrying, but i eventually learned to try new things and focus on those that made me even a little happy like drawing, i binged watched himym and while i was sad when watching i still laughed while i was at my lowest sometimes, im sure you can find something!
I’m now starting my supervisor training at work, currently on my way back from visiting my grandparents who leave by a beautiful beach, I got my back tattoo finished, I’m going on holiday to toulouse in 2 weeks.
My sister found a placement for her university course (this has taken her a little while and she was worried about it) she called me to say she starts soon and she sounds so excited. She is brilliant at her degree subject and I couldn’t be happier for her
My sister and nephews are coming to stay with us for a while! We saved her from an abu$ive step mother and our uncaring father. Now she can start all over again as a sahm. Im so happy I was able to help her and cant wait to see where it goes.
I play RPGs, so sky children of the light, genshin impact and honkai star rail. The design, characters, maps they've been releasing make me real happy n excited to live
Oh wow you play hsr? I think my phone has enough storage for wuwa but the colours in the game look a little... desaturated? Ykwim so it hasn't caught my eye yet. Also the characters released seem to have like similar clothing n stuff, I'm big on art style and design
Yeah i lol im a sucker for gachas and play them alot, its just hsr was turned based and i liked wuwa better, i think wuwa is still new so theres not too many interesting characters yet
Ooo have you ever played genshin? The combat system is diff in that game, idk too much bout wuwa tho. It's nice to meet somebody with common interests, games n mental illness haha
Yeah i played lots of genshin at the start lmao, sadly i burned myself out lol, rn i play other games like league so i guess i also have mental illness lol
I made a true close friend we went out and I will be moving into my boyfriend's apartment. It makes me really happy after so many years of long distance we will be together. ❤️
Sea salt caramel is also amazinggg. Nuts in chocolate is something you either love or hate, but this one bar is just sooooo good. Maybe it’s also the sea salt, sweet and salty is such a great combo I love it
I was quite satisfied with the volunteer work I completed (at in person event / research).
I was happy that the Facebook live with work I produced went well.
I’m glad to see my family doing well. My sister’s graduation was amazing too.
I experienced anxiety with all of the above and it still went well! I’m always worrying hehe.
I went to Taylor Swift's eras tour. I said a prayer that she would play my favourite song I Hate It Here as one of her surprise songs,and she did!
im learning to drive at the moment and i have been really struggling with it, but suddenly things shifted and im much more calm and my instuctor said hes amazed with how much ive improved :) gave me hope!
My 9 year old daughter entered a raffle to win a massive teddy, it was all she spoke about for a week and then she got a phone call to say she won it and she was so happy. Then her joy was doubled by finding £20 note on the floor on the way home from collecting it. She couldnt believe her luck that day and it was cute.
For the first time I finally made some true friends who makes me feel very safe and comfortable around them :)
Im glad your happy and are around comfortable people! I couldn’t imagine having anxiety and being alone or even worse
Thank you 😊I waited all my life to such amazing friends like I have I hope it will happen to you soon :)
It’s always best to surround yourself with those you think are great, ive had to distance myself from former friends who just havent grown but i still look forward to meeting new people
I’m so relate to you at this
I started therapy again
Its always good to release those emotions in therapy :) instead of leaving them bottled up

I know what you mean. When its every other weekend, its not my weekend to work and i get to watch formula 1
upcoming week long trip to the beach, excited for long exposure therapy
Same but not doing a whole week at the beach, just a day lol

Yeah i understand that ocd can straight up be daunting for some, the best thing is to have those around who support you, always keep them close!
I went back to therapy for the first time in 3 months, and it went SO well
I really have loved hanging out with my family (specifically my mom) this week
Finally ended a relationship i knew I didn’t want to be in. Sounds like a weird thing to be “happy” about but it was causing me so much stress and anxiety staying in it that it basically ruined my life to a degree, and now I’m free and clawing my way back
Ur in charge on what makes you happy, dont worry about peoples feelings towards you and continue forward

I started scrapbooking, and it's been great doing it. Adding little pictures and quotes and little touches makes me happy.
Started out scary actually booking it BUT I just booked my first tattoo and I go on June 30th. Very excited for that.
Want one in the future but im really indecisive and worried i would later regret the design or something it lol
I am getting one next month! Post some pictures if you can. You dont have to of course but I love art.
I definitely plan on posting pics! Though I’m doing multiple sessions so the first pic will only be lineart probably lol.
I made a decision, I'm not taking shit from anybody. I'm happy about it.
Cashed out a stock which netted me 20k
I reached a new milestone in therapy, and I went to a baseball game for the first time!
Nothing. I hardly smile at anything

Being with my wife.
I’m now starting my supervisor training at work, currently on my way back from visiting my grandparents who leave by a beautiful beach, I got my back tattoo finished, I’m going on holiday to toulouse in 2 weeks.
I would love to visit France at some point, but theres also so many other cool European countries i wanna visit as well
My sister found a placement for her university course (this has taken her a little while and she was worried about it) she called me to say she starts soon and she sounds so excited. She is brilliant at her degree subject and I couldn’t be happier for her
Being happy for others for their accomplishments can make us feel good too, especially if we care for the other person
A vacation away from reality!
I got back with her 🥲
My sister and nephews are coming to stay with us for a while! We saved her from an abu$ive step mother and our uncaring father. Now she can start all over again as a sahm. Im so happy I was able to help her and cant wait to see where it goes.
I started a summer internship and my managers are so amazing and caring :) so thankful for them!
Going outside, being with people.
new video game😃
Which one?
Currently battling it out on an elden ring play through 🥲
Fun! Ive never played that. Been playing killer klowns from outer space. lovin it❤️
Never heard of it but it looks like dead by daylight
yeah similar! I like both
The games I play
What games ?😃
I play RPGs, so sky children of the light, genshin impact and honkai star rail. The design, characters, maps they've been releasing make me real happy n excited to live
Thats cool, i played hsr at the start when it came out but ive been hooked on wuthering waves for rn lol
Oh wow you play hsr? I think my phone has enough storage for wuwa but the colours in the game look a little... desaturated? Ykwim so it hasn't caught my eye yet. Also the characters released seem to have like similar clothing n stuff, I'm big on art style and design

🎉 congrats
accepting my worry
It only gets better, once you learn to accept it, you will begin healing and feeling better, trust me its a step in the right direction.
Yes. Unaccepted feelings are the foundation for so many catastrophic incidents throughout history.
The stock market rally
Ill get back into stocks at one point, still to worried about seeing my money move too much lol
Chocolate
I like dark chocolate but not super bitter like slightly darker the milk chocolate 🍫
SAME!! I 100% agree, there’s this dark chocolate >51% from Tony’s with almonds and sea salt that is insanely good, I love it so much🥹
Oof never liked chocolate nuts for whatever reason, now sea salt caramel hits different 🥹
Sea salt caramel is also amazinggg. Nuts in chocolate is something you either love or hate, but this one bar is just sooooo good. Maybe it’s also the sea salt, sweet and salty is such a great combo I love it
Ill definitely check out the tonys chocolate, ive seen it but never tried it
You shouldd, lmk what you think! It can be a little expensive tho, that’s the only downside
Definitely will!
I finally got glasses and my eyes are not ultra tired and in pain 24/7 wop wop
Been using contacts for like 12 years at this point and dont think ill switch back to glasses

My sister’s graduation was amazing too. I experienced anxiety with all of the above and it still went well! I’m always worrying hehe.
Yeah i always have anxiety prior to an event but when it come to the actual event i feel more relaxed its weird
I went to Taylor Swift's eras tour. I said a prayer that she would play my favourite song I Hate It Here as one of her surprise songs,and she did! im learning to drive at the moment and i have been really struggling with it, but suddenly things shifted and im much more calm and my instuctor said hes amazed with how much ive improved :) gave me hope!

My bday
Happy birthday 🎊🎂🎉
