I'm actually pretty happy, but it's because I vent. So, sorry to the new followers who are just discovering this.

Got a phone call for him, and was able to say "he no longer lives here."

I mean, something so simple but so liberating.

#3GoodThings to soothe my overthinking

1. The paramedics accepted "Ugh Donald Trump" as a valid answer to "Who's the president?"

2. Mom put roll-on lidocaine on my neck and shoulders and it's helping.

3. I have a good support system now when things go sideways, and I am so grateful.

Unsurprisingly, I had a panic attack and fall tonight. My head bled a little, and Mom called the paramedics. No ride to the hospital required though. I'm fine, once again.

Ended up finding someone to maybe help me get therapy for the anxiety though. So yay?

😂😭

I'm angry because Dan has insurance that covers his therapy and *I* pay the premium for it.

That fucker owes me everything and once again, I'm left holding the bag. Meanwhile he pretends to have done so much work.

I don't have a choice but to take my lumps, but why do there have to be so many?

Something that gets me rattled from time to time is that I trusted Dan with everything, and he didn't really care.

I can still hear my Mom saying, "When he listed off the things he was going to miss/cared about, he didn't say you."

I knew it already, but it hits different when other people *know*.

Welp strike two on virtual therapy covered by my insurance. They sure don't want this to be easy.

Color Me Dubious | Emily Suess
The day after I posted publicly about Dan not asking how I was, I got an email from him asking how I was. Color me dubious.

Just because you I'm not in immediate physical danger doesn't mean I feel safe.

The trick is finding out how to stop that.

Who the fuck am I? I just had a practical, frugal, helpful idea. It's like my prefrontal cortex still works! 🤯

You know, I would hate it if art was only ever expressed by people who were exactly like me. Thank goodness diversity is reality. The world is more beautiful for it. And I get to learn things! I love learning things!

No lie detected.
sometimes you have a bad day because someone wants to harm you, but then you find out you have other people who still like and care about you, and the first person doesn’t matter so much anymore. #lovewins
