right now i'm trying to sort out my sleep schedule for uni. i used to wake up at 1 AM just to get stuff done, and tho i was productive it was pretty harmful to my health + i felt like shit after doing so. so now i hope this would get me ready for my zoom classes at 6 in the morning

I started better myself, but since corona I fell a bit back in old behaviors. I stopped being polite and started being lazy again

A bit of backstory.

I am disabled. This is primarily due to severe mental illnesses (including, but sadly not limited to, PTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), clinical depression, and social anxiety.) I also am extremely frail for my age. Despite being about 5'6", I can barely ever weigh more than 105.

As you can probably imagine, this makes my everyday life pretty difficult. I have little to no motivation to do anything. In fact, when I'm not playing osu! someone else is probably fronting. Quarantine and these two hurricanes and everything else happening in the world have taken a huge toll on me mentally. I rarely leave my room. I haven't been taking my medicine like I should be.

However I've been trying to get myself back on track. My boyfriend (the kind soul) has been texting me reminders to take my meds. I've been attending therapy instead of skipping it, and am in the process of getting a psychiatric service dog. My system and I have all been working together on communication, so that we can be less confused if someone fronts in the middle of something someone else was doing. (What a confusing sentence...) I've even been trying to keep up with my classes.

It's a hard journey, but I'm slowly starting to feel more like myself. I even had to courage to come out as non-binary to my mother, who was accepting through and through.

I have a lot to work on still, but this is definitely a start.

I recently starting taking medication for my depression and it has helped me become motivated for more things i've always wanted to do :)

i'm not sure... i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder since 13 y.o, everyday is really difficult for me. when night comes it's like a nightmare and i got an insomnia. i always stayed up all night, no. actually i'm afraid to fall asleep and wake up with the same anxiety. every second of my life is filled with overthinking

even i don't know what i'm worried about, what makes me overthinking, i really don't understand the way of my mind and myself. it feels like i'm not able to control this fucking mood. i stopped getting treatment since last year because it's expensive and my family's economy isn't that good.

honestly i want to die but i must thinking about my uni too. i can't tell anyone that i have a pain and trauma, so i just crying to get better myself. my family is the same. they have their own problems so i don't want to add to anyone's burden

i'm sorry i really suck haha

I always lighten up my mood by listening to Classical or any Music. Then investing time into taking care of my pets, watching VTuber stream or clips.

Studying for the bar exam… not quite sure what to do though, anxiety is accumulating faster than actual knowledge.

During these last months I have been exercising.

Why the heck didn't I start before? I have noticed myself being quite stronger than before, and I have started to feel physically better as well.

Sort of an update:
Last night the phase I (multiple choice section) result was out. I passed.
I can’t even explain how I feel… Phase II (short essay section) is incoming in just two weeks, and I still have barely prepared. It’s most likely to be a mixture of joy, relief, and escalated anxiety…

I decide to intentionally double post because the last one was 6 days ago and it doesn’t quite feel right if I just edit it—- or so I think.


Long story short, I made up a decision to really go for it.

For me, slowly but getting there. Just have to take it slow, do what I want while not ignoring what I need to do! Mental health is getting better is what I'm trying to say.
Akumace1
Nothing. I’m still a major disappointment to everyone around me.

Since quarantine started, my sleeping schedule and... my lifestyle in general is getting worse and worse, as 2020 is come to close soon, i expect and hoping that myself to (hopefully) fix all of those issues

I tried to change my life, learn new useful skills during quarantine, but nothing came of it due to the fact that I am very lazy and cannot bring myself to do something
