the old teenage bicycle
Brought my old bicycle into the shop, after years of neglect (most of them being not having enough money to get it fixed up). It's repairable, but... it's small and I'm bigger and we don't really match each other anymore. Repairable, but the guy at the shop recommended I donate it to a nonproft bike shop and let them fix it up for someone who needs it.
Surprisingly emotional about it, given that I've barely touched the bike in years.
She was a really good bike, though.
Mental health
TFW you realize that your childhood gave you PTSD. "How to Cope With a Sense of a Foreshortened Future"
https://www.verywell.com/coping-with-a-foreshortened-future-ptsd-2797225 is something I have dealt with for a very long time and never had a word for it.
Therapy and Mortality
Please keep responses to this light and more being supportive hugging and stuff as I'm still not super stable about this stuff.
Had my first therapy appointment dealing with my mortality anxiety. After lots of crying, found that it quite probably has a basis in how my parents ruined my childhood. Fun realizations.
That certainly didn't help
Anxiety meds are helping. I still get the twinge of an anxiety loop about something but they seem to end much quicker.
OTOH, I was wondering why I couldn't seen @indi's awoos and realized somehow that I'd muted him. Ugh. That certainly didn't help my mood.
Illness
My mental illness of anxiety has been spiking and having human contact helps but right now that isn't happening.
lonely with radioactive negative feels.
Finally, it just feels like I have no close friends. Those who I am somewhat close to seem to be on completely different schedules and such from me to the point where it is like they don't exist at all.
