I made marked improvements in basically every facet of my life this year. mental health, education, relationships, etc. I reconnected with old friends and made new friends I cherish more than anything. I didn’t relapse. it could always be better but I’m thankful for that at least

I’m no longer on any psychiatric medication besides Adderall and im the happiest I’ve been in my adult life. I kicked my benzo habit. I finally went back to school and got good grades. I organized some protests and caught a lot of shit for it and didnt completely lose my mind

I joined a coalition of activists and we’re building something that could make a small difference. I mended my relationship with my family somewhat. my best friend & I made up after a year falling out. I fell in love and fell out of love, healthily, for the first time in my life.

I learned how to fucking chill out on this website and not let the abuse get to me. I am finally at peace with my past abusive relationships. I’ve been trying to take every opportunity to be kind to people (to mixed success), because this year I buried two friends. I miss them.

If you were ever kind to me on here, know that I noticed it and internalized it best I could and it fucking helped and I am so thankful for it and you. We’re all a bunch of misfits and freaks but we can still take care of each other when it counts. Love y’all. Done ranting
