What's going well for you? Right now everything is going well. I haven't passed out in almost 4 months now which is a win since I was passing out every day
What are you having a hard time with? I am having a hard time leaving my summer job until break. I will miss seeing my friends.
@wonderfulRainbow817
How long did it take you to make the Stadium? My lego making has only involved small things, that's awesome you did a whole stadium!
Not passing out for 4 months is a huge win, yay!
I hope you can keep in contact with the summer friends and that you make new ones at the new school. Good luck with the transition!
@AffyAvo, it took me 17 hours total to do. They were really tiny pieces and I have a tremor so it wasn't easy to do.
I've been working on some collage type journaling with color pencils, sketching, pictures, and other things I could find around the house. I'm proud of the piece I made yesterday in one of my favorite journals. Im struggling a bit with getting some reading done. I'd like to get my readings done and would love Oct. to be filled with actions steps towards getting my triggers on paper.
@cyanDrum2401
Your collage sounds really awesome!
Do you have a plan for the readings and listing your triggers? For example, ways to break that into small steps? Can we support you with that somehow?

@Summershy
I'm so glad you find a doctor that you like, that can make medical aspects much easier to manage!
Sounds like you're making great progress with healthy habits in terms of going to the gym and changing eating habits. That can big difficult to do, but sounds like you're making great strides!

@Rebekahwriter13
Congrats on completing the story! It's great you were able to create something you're proud of.
Ooh, I hope the check gets sorted out too!
It sounds like you have a few things going on that build on each other. I hope your guy can support you from a distance, although I know that's not the same as when together, especially when he's caring for others that he is present with. Are you expecting your living situation to remain as is for a while?
Lately I have been reading books to reach my goal by January 2021 fingers crossed I can read 71 books by then since that is my goal. Also looking forward to go apple picking and do some fall baking with my family! :)
@Clairebear233, that is an awesome goal to have! How many books have you read so far? I love the fall time! It is when the leaves start changing colors and family time becomes more evident, at least in my household it does.
@wonderfulrainbow817 So far I have read 35 books
Wow! You are already over halfway there! That's more reading than I've done in the last year and a half. I only read textbooks now XD
