ive been exercising a lot more than i used to, eating better, and trying to go out of my way to hang out with the people that i’m closest with. this year’s been pretty rough so far but i’m doing my best to push through and get back to where i need to be.

I am an aspiring programmer and am studying in this domain in Cegep (a school unique to Quebec that is between high school and univeristy). But the work we get there are way too simple for me (and many others in my course) so I often do my own code, which are a lot more complex than the teacher asks. Lately I have been coding a game of go in Java and I am also thinking of trying out python and code a maze with it.

I kinda understand the mmo thing. I played alot of them as well and I always came out at the end more depressed and angry then happy and fulfilled. Since I came back to osu after a long hiatus I've found it just more entertaining and less stressful then other type of community drivin games. I'm sure over time it will get more annoying, at least I'm not part of the beat map review team lol. I hear that stuff is crazy stressful.

I've just been drinking more water (as opposed to 100% black coffee) and trying to get more sleep. 😁

Not as lighthearted: attempting to have a healthier relationship with food. The quarantine has been making me want to restrict, something I haven't wanted to do in years. :L

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
