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

@MDT I hope your panic attacks don't get really bad! I know something that really helps but you may need a doctor's assessment for this so all I'll say is exercise, meditation and other similar activities when you can fit them in, and try to get some sleep as well if possible, whenever you can. I feel for you re: panic attacks! Everyone has their own way of dealing with them so all the best with your current mental health journey!❤️:ok_hand:

Re: 2022

I didn't getanswers in my dreams. Just got nightmares. 2 of which I woke from.
One of which involved me thinking I woke up and finding my sister had aged 70 years in a single night because of events that took place in the dream. It was like inception. A dream in a dream.
It was not nice at all.

I woke up yelling and screaming

No one heard me I guess.

Today has been very very quiet. It's not good. I feel i am wasting away time that could otherwise be spent on things I care about.

Being stuck inside and at home is hard. But it's even harder when what I do is ot interesting to me.

I have steered clear of sugar as best I can. And alcohol.

There is no work ethic from others and I feel distant from the team. I fear this means the energy I put in to my work so far has been weak. But I can't help that now I guess.

Had a discussion with my mother about things and where I was at in life. Was productive and helpful I think.

Re: 2022

Hey there @MDT

Not good to hear you're not good 😞

Can you get away for a walk or something? They seem to help you.

I haven't got any great ideas, sorry.

Glad you had another chat with your mum 🙂

Hey @MDT

Sorry to hear buddy. Distraction might help?

Thinking of you 🤗

Re: 2022

Heyo @MDT.

Disturbing dreams are hard. One one hand you know they're not real, but the part of the brain that emotionally responds doesn't get the message. 😕

Hang in there. I know I go through bad patches sometimes of weird and disturbing dreams, but they pass, eventually.
