    Things have been up and down I suppose lately, or I guess that's the way it's been since the start of quarantine 200+ days ago. Lately it feels like my motivation has been shot and that's kind of disheartening but I'm attempting to keep a day-to-day to-do journal which helps a bit. Not working definitely sucks and I want to find something that I can do from home but it seems right now things are in slim pickings and with the bit of work experience I have it'd be hard to find something.

    On some good news my regular therapist referred me to a gender therapist in the area that I can do totally via. video chat/phone so hopefully when I decide to make the call maybe my appointment(s) won't be too far out... :transshork-happy:

      Hell yeah, journaling is awesome. I've been writing in my journal every day for almost 4 years. Do you use an app or write on paper? I'm also looking for a job that I can do from home but I'm not motivated at all because wage slavery sucks ass.

        Paper now until I find a better app. I was using a bullet-journal app that's cross-platform across all devices but it started having issues such as not syncing and simply not working, unfortunately the developer has seemingly abandoned the project. But regardless I think ever since I did make a simple to-do list and/or kept a journal it's helped me out a bit I think.

        But yeah kind of same boat with the jobs thing, want to work so I have enough money to move out and be independent some point next year but it's a matter of finding something I'd be motivated to work for too. School was also a consideration but I haven't even begun to think about what I'd take.
