I'm not your therapist, but are you doing alright? How are things going in life? Do you want to talk about it?

    Things are slowly looking up.

    I finally have the urge to make lifestyle changes after years of not wanting to and not knowing WHY I didn't want to. Realizing you have needs that have gone unfulfilled for a good chunk of your life is weird. Seeing and connecting with people and not just being around my family like I've been for the last year is letting me rethink things, though. Socializing so far is way less stressful than just existing at home.

    Like others, I'm pretty lonely. I want to have people in my life, and I feel like I've grown distant to all but a few of the people I knew in school. I've seen people, but nobody I was in school with before COVID. That's probably the weirdest part for me.

      I think everyone's grown pretty distant, and people are gonna have to figure out how to make friends as an adult. It's uh. Kind of a nightmare to start from scratch on that thing, but as someone who's always been drifting from one friend group to the next, I think it'll at least mean that I'm able to embed more closely with some people.
