I am so over feeling like shit. As soon as I start feeling a tiny morsel of normality, everything falls to shit again. I can't catch a break. People keep telling me that It will make me more resilient but I don't give a fuck about being resilient. I'm over it.

Sounds good @outlander, we can learn together. I was only diagnosed in August so, yeah... very new.
I do lots of DBT stuff with my psychologist which is helpful. She leant me the book "The Happiness Trap" to read on Tuesday so it's been good to go through that so far. I find the mindfulness techniques very useful. I feel my best when I am practicing mindfulness activities like yoga and meditation. I just find it hard to get back into it when I'm not 100%.
Yes, I'm going to New Zeland in 2 weeks! I'm so excited. I'll be going for 3 weeks. Going to travel solo down the east coast of the south island, then down, around, and up to Queenstown. Meeting some friends there and then traveling with them up the west coast. Then we cross over to Wellington and they head home, but I travel through the north island and up to Auckland. Weeeee! I don't have much experience travelling so I'm very excited 🙂

NZ is great, the people are nice and the nature is equally so
i have thought of doing something similar by going to the states early next year (before anything happens with my life but idk..) I really want to visit Washington DC.
