How was your day today?

[Blue_Cheetah]

Hi guys, I saw a lot of posts of people asking for help or advice. So I just wanted to go in the opposite direction and share a little. Recently I’ve been doing ok. Been struggling with depression for a little bit now, feel really lonely at times but I know it’s getting better. I recently picked up the electric guitar so that’s been helping. Being able to express yourself helps so much! Also cleaning I think has been helping me as well. Making my apartment look nice and neat and not looking around at messes everywhere makes me feel less like shit lol. Lastly I just picked up a new dehumidifier for my new apartment, (which is in the basement) it really makes the air less thick and more breathable, highly recommend! How have you been doing recently? Let me know and I’ll try to respond to everybody

Hey Blue! So happy to hear you picked up a creative hobby. That outlet can do wonders. And you have a clean apartment?!? Yay! Often your home reflects your state of mind so that is a great step.

I’m okay. Things happening out of my control that affect my family’s stability cause me major anxiety. We are looking to buy a home so that doesn’t help. Feeling of wanting to be alone persist as do the feeling that I just want to sit and watch the wall all day. Taking it one day at a time and trying as hard as I can to fight it.

What a time to buy a house! I started looking at cars and decided to wait. I’m hoping for a September recession. Then…On Friday someone hit my car in a parking lot. Not hard but it has an ugly scratch and the tail light is broken. They were cowards and left.

Noooo! That stinks. The car/housing markets are insane. I want to go back to the days of farming, riding horses and building log homes with the townsfolk

Ha! I went hiking in the mountains today. Beautiful quiet area next to a neighborhood if you can call it that. There were all these glass houses with 5 balconies for the .1%. But I didn’t see or hear any evidence of 4th cookouts or people in general… I suppose they are at the second 5 bedroom cottage on the vineyard. What is wrong with some cute small houses next to mountain vistas in the same neighborhood that I could afford? I would be there all the time! Not one of these places you can get lost in just going to take a pee in the middle of the night.

Hey Blue Cheetah...I have the cleanest closets in town lolAlso have my musical instruments, like you an Electric guitar.

Also have that dehumidifier in basement as well, it does help.

My home is always in order, not for "in case someone comes over" but

for "me"...Nothing like relaxing at the end of a day and feeling gratitude

for what we have. It can be a form of 'grounding" looking at things in an

orderly fashion. My best to you. You've got this xx
