I’m tired but wide awake. This feeling is not new but my reaction is. After about an hour long internal conversation with self, I launched my response…..

I hated you when we first met. Seriously, I had no clue how to handle you or what to do with you. I’ll never forget all those nights in 2019 that you drove me to my breaking point. The dance would last sometimes 24, sometimes 48 and even up to 96 hours at a time…..

Having dessert is no longer reserved for special occasions. Actually, sometimes it’s after lunch and dinner!

I am so grateful nowadays when I get a good night’s sleep, and especially when it comes without a struggle to fall asleep.

I’m not judging people who use a substance to deal with anxiety. I wished back in 2019 that it would have worked for me, but it didn’t.
