  • Yes, I’m doing a community gardening project and just talk about life with people that I see once a week. It’s helped me to remember I like being outside. Starting music lessons and joined a group fitness studio that’s full of supportive and motivated people.

    Getting back into reading and writing and realising that I like spending time alone.

    Making space for a social activity with friends / family once a week. Next week I’m doing a cooking class with some friends.

    There is lots to look forward to!


  • During my therapy session, the psych suggested I could have autism. She asked me what I think I have. I said I show traits of BPD, but I’m not the one who went to school to diagnose these conditions. I’ve got no idea but I know something is not right. Even though I feel crazy and people perceive me as crazy, that doesn’t mean I am. Sure I’ve felt and said and done some crazy things, but those things don’t define me.

    I am praying that therapy works. I don’t want to feel things so deeply anymore and catastrophise. I don’t ever want to have an emotional outburst like I did the week of the breakup again, to the point where I have to beg someone to love me and make them and their people think I’m a complete psycho. I don’t think it was a normal reaction to keep messaging him even though he wasn’t responding. At the same time, I have to forgive myself and vow to never do that again.

    I stupidly started talking to someone new who reassures me without having to ask, and even though I don’t need it, and I’m just vibing and having fun chatting. Maybe I was just asking for too much from the wrong person.



  • I’m trying to find things to enjoy and am getting so excited about trying new things in life, like new foods, going to a different uni next year, travelling, working full-time more or less permanently. But at the same time, nothing excites me? It’s strange.

    I have a trial drums lesson organised, doing a fitness challenge, planning a social thing once a week, and going to start therapy in a couple of days. All this effort to work on myself just feels a bit futile. I know these things are going to be good for me, yet part of me is not convinced.

    Maybe I just have to get through things and then they will become enjoyable. What a weird state to be in.
