hey🙂
i think ive finally made the decision to commit fully to recovery! i got super lucky with the psychologist i have - she really is so amazing & i am also going to be getting ed support too starting in a few days which im super grateful for as ive been begging for it for a longgggg time - i think i need a way of holding myself accountable though so this thread is going to be exactly that.
to start, i have my alarm set for 8:30am so i can get up and start my day with a walk!
if you’re reading this, whenever you are in your journey, im proud of you🩷

some photos from my walk🫶🏻:
some photos of the animals i seen - i got to see some cows🐄, sheep🐑, alpacas🦙 and ducks🦆:
and to finish of my walk, i came home and made a smoothie! i really struggle with textures of foods so this way i can have fruits that i like the taste of but hate the texture of so it’s a win🎉:
college has been going a little better in terms of i’m much preferring these units compared to the before christmas units & the teaching team i now have is better too:)
in terms of work, i done an interview last wednesday and then got offered the job the following morning however while waiting for the interview, the job that i REALLY wanted emailed me about an interview sooo i done it yesterday and it was honestly the most amazing vibes ever, the bus journey to the interview was more stressful than the actual interview🤣i did think i was on the wrong bus at one point as i always use the translink app and tick of each stop as the bus announces each stop, until i see the stop i need when going to an unfamiliar area, well the bus like froze on the second stop so didn’t announce them anymore and i was reading the bus stop signs on the actual bus stops and they didn’t match the app and i was panicking am i even on the right bus but the bus definitely said 7a and the journey planner thing said 7a so i was sooo baffled and then ended up looking on the map and where the bus route line was and where my pinpoint was, it was 2 different places so i was sooo convinced i was on the wrong bus haha but then the bus eventually started announcing places again and i heard the stop before my stop and just thought i shall get off here as in belfast each bus stop happens to be about 5 footsteps from each other haha but yeah the bus journey was waaaay more stressful than the interview!!! so i will hear back from that interview by the end of this week they’ve said!
i have my induction morning for my other job today which im really anxious about but i hope it goes ok - all the reviews for the company from staff are all amazing quite literally, everyone says how management is super supportive and everything so that’s a big positive for sure as my last 2 jobs have had the worst possible management you could stumble across lol
other than that, i’ve been out walking when i can, trying to do coursework which is the most exhausting thing & sleeping lol
I'm so glad that despite the bus journey you were able to do your best at that interview.
Sounds like things are really coming together for you at the moment, keep us updated with how things go!
Super excited to see your recovery journey
