Tomorrow marks a week since I moved into the new place. I'm feeling so much better, and feel like I'm in a much more healthy place mentally than I was in the last place. And honestly, a lot of it is just the little things, like being home alone, and having access to knives, and administering my own medication

You're going to feel stronger and more confident everyday. :)

It's already started! That European festival thing I decided to give a go, I wouldn't normally do because of all my people anxiety. Who coulda thunk that healthy environments make healthy minds?

Love to read this!!

That’s fantastic. The environment of the last place didn’t sound healthy for anyone

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Based on the sheer turnover of workers, I'd say you're right

[–] RosaliePreistley@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Awesome news Baku. A little peace of mind is golden.

It really is

Awesome! 💯 So glad to hear it's all happening for you after your hospital trip and all that stuff last week.

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Yes last week was a shitshow, and the anxiety about the move definitely didn't help

Glad to hear! Your list of little things is not so little, it must feel great to be entering a new stage of life where you are getting more autonomy.
