Mostly good, a bit mixed.
We had a falling out with a friend and it’s just caused my wife a lot of pain. We ended up cancelling a bunch of our plans and I’m kinda bummed about it.
Work has been good. I’m so happy I switched jobs — it’s challenging and rewarding, I’m way less stressed.
Had a good but heavy session of therapy this week, it was tough but cathartic. I still feel like my brain tries blocking out those sessions and I have a lot of trouble remembering them in detail.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, i know how it feels to be cut off from someone you used to love. I'm still glad to hear about your job :D Yeah, i get therapy. I can't really recall stuff in general, but therapy sessions feel like a complete blind spot for me.
Thanks, it was just a relationship that was only going one way. It sucks, but it is what it is, at least there's no more hurt coming in.
I have a lot of issues with recall and memory, I think that has a lot to do with stress. Therapy can be stressful, but it's kinda like going to the gym and exposing myself to these feelings so I'm getting better with them.
