I guess there's no just thing as "full-recovey" but I'm feeling very "mid-recovery" right now.

I guess there's no just thing as "full-recovey" but I'm feeling very "mid-recovery" right now.

....and why doesn't that feel like a good thing (or at least an ok thing more than than it does). I feel it should. Instead, I'm guilty when I do do better and I'm guilty when I do worse.

I'm a one-person social disease over here. Give me an identity and I'll magically turn it into a problem, evey time.

What am I doing some times? Thinking about "what?" questions too much I suppose.

Why? Because this "who" is about the "how" these day. Have to be.

Have to be, when? As the journey unfolds, I guess.

Thats very Confusing @wellwellwellnez

Can I ask what what is and not what it should be?

Heaps could be better, if I'm getting imaginative.

Things are getting better bit at a time.

I'm just switching around a bit.

I'm finding new challenges and also meeting new joys.

Getting a little bit better at the ups and downs.

Better attachment instincts, here and there as well.

Nice to have a place to let your guard down.

I'd even say, I don't know what I'd do without it.

Huh, that's interesting. Hows that for attachment instincts.

Look at me. Clinging to people like a person does sometimes.

Weird.
