I will be sorting out my address! I got a PO box last week that I can use as my new mailing address and I am getting documentation this week from DHHS on my housing status (and lack therof) which I can start using to act as a surrogate physical address.

A large effort is ahead of me with updating everything, but I will finally be free of the place that rejected my identity and caused this situation I am clawing my way out of.

I am trying really hard to keep my brain focused on today and moving forward. Trying to stay positive and not listen to the trauma loops playing on repeat. The struggle is real sometimes. But I am going to fucking make it through this.

💜

I've got task paralysis. Moved into an inherited house that needs a lot of work. I have options and idk what I'm going to do first

  • mud the bathroom ceiling
  • scrub the bedroom walls
  • scrub the dining room walls
  • pickup random debris in the backyard

I don't want to do any of the things and that makes it hard.

One foot in front of the other. You got this! Proud of you for leaving a terrible situation.

I got a kitten that needs to be taken to the humane society when they open, and I got at least one more to try and catch. Trying to help these babies get to loving families who can give them all the care they need.

So relatable! I also get paralysis when faced with an array of choices like that.

If you are up for suggestions, I would scrub the bedroom walls first so that you can start creating a “nest” for yourself, aka a space where you feel safe and comfortable. I think the bedroom is the place to start. Plus, you will see the fruits of your labor every night and maybe feel a tiny twinge of dopamine flowing through your brain. Maybe.

I have a 3-day training, 8 hours a day, for work this week. I’m both excited about it and dreading spending that much time in front of the computer.

As a result of this training, I have a lot of clients to see today and tomorrow. So I’m just trying to get through the week without losing my mind!

Instead I did a bunch of little things 🤣 laundry, dishes, I voted, some computer work I've been putting off. And now I've got a killer headache so, the decision on what to do gets put off another day...

But, I do like your suggestion. I think I still start there.
