It's been a hard 5 months, but I think the end is finally in sight. I've given up on seeking help from the medical system, I've been in the ER begging for help multiple times and all I ever got was a medical certificate.

Instead I'm working through my stuff one day at a time and relying on friends for help when I need it, it's hard but it's working. I'm having more and more good days, even if I'm still struggling.

Here are some wins:

I'm 5 days sober
I'm somehow maintaining a sleep routine
I'm in love with songwriting more than ever
I'm on top of my to-do list
I'm cooking and eating well(ish)
I've started putting weight back on (I think)
