I wanted to be open about what’s been going on lately because I know that sharing our struggles can sometimes make them a bit easier to bear. This past week has been rough, and I’ve been feeling pretty low. My energy and interest in the things I usually care about have taken a hit.
On top of that, there’s been a lot of drama with my roommate, which even led to a night in a jail cell. It’s been draining, to say the least. But, there’s a silver lining: my roommate is gone, and I get to keep the big new apartment with my master bedroom and its own bathroom. No more worrying about stolen food, which is a huge relief considering how tight money is.
Speaking of money, being broke is really weighing on me. I wake up each day and do my best to find some work, but the job hunt feels like wading through a sea of spam and scams. My inbox is filled with fake settlements and Medicare ads, making it hard to find anything legitimate. It’s frustrating, especially with the added burden of my mood disorder.
I’ve been through these cycles of low moods before, and while it’s tough, I know they’re not permanent. It’s hard to see outside of it when things get really bad, but thankfully I’m not at that point right now.
Even though I haven’t been posting much on my blog, I’ve been keeping up with my handwritten journal. There’s something about putting pen to paper that helps me process everything. I’m using these Pilot G2 pens that I really enjoy, and it makes the whole process a bit more bearable. Writing things down helps me see them more clearly instead of letting them bounce around in my head.
Thanks for reading and for being here. Your support means a lot, and I hope sharing this helps anyone else who might be going through a tough time.
I’m sure I’ll slide back into a mood where I can’t stop writing, but this was a total chore to get out. I’ve recently been prescribed to a new non-stimulant ADHD medicine called Strattera, which apparently takes 2–4 weeks to work, so maybe that will also help things. I hope so.
