2022

This year will be different to last

I have some plans in the making and a lot will happen and change.

I nearly had a panic attack tonight but avoided it entirely by thinking through what needed to be done in the immediate future. So I did exactly what I knew I needed to. And left it there.

I also fixed my mattress for a temp fix before I get the new one.

There's always so much on my mind. So much I want and need.

But I know the strides I made last year will push me forward.

Just need to set a routine and be stringent. But also not hard on myself.

Its hard for me socially atm so I take what I can.

Dating - I have no idea and to be honest I'm okay with that. I have some apps but I will ween myself away from it. I'm open minded enough. Thatll do for now.

Now it's bed time.

Talk tomorrow

Re: 2022

Hey forumites

Taking some time to read my book now.

Have had a chat to folks about my direction in life.

So many of the reasons why I am depressed derive from what I do. In terms of how I spend time and what I do for a living. I have no motivation to go out and do things, largely because I have few friends and also because I have little interest in making new ones.

I know I am a good person, but its just that at this stage in my life I am facing a bit of trouble and difficulty.

I believe I am entitled to want good things in this life. Things that bring joy. Life is not all about duty. Life is more than duty. It is about joy and peace as well

There are numerous thought patterns, practises, habits and actions I do unconsciously that inhibit personal growth and advancement. Forcing myself to do something "good" for myself often has the opposite effect on me. It must always come from a place of good for it to have a good effect.

It is hard to maintain a sense of positivity when the main thing I spend my time doing is causing me to feel depressed.

I can accept what I do for a living is good to some. But not to me. I believe this is okay. This is not a bad thing.

Hey @MDT

Just shows how slow I am to read some things .... but I liked that post.

and yes time is a funny concept and seems to go both ... slow and fast .... when it wants to.

Edited ... read post before that .... yes ... agree ... and it is about finding a balance ... that what you recieve from work ... not just dollars ... balances what it costs you.

Sometimes ... we just gotta do it ... sometimes .. choice and opportunities open up.
