i've realized this cleaning/organizing bug is definitely hypomania, but it's doing really lovely things for me & i'm super emotionally stable, so i will be continuing to indulge it for as long as i can.

behold the fruits of my hypomanic morning:

2 days ago the walls were blank, there were no containers, there were over 35 more pill bottles scattered atop the table, and the surface itself was dusty enough for you to pick up long strips of gray fluff with your fingertips.

i spend most of my time in bed so this quality of life improvement Cannot Be Understated. Oh My God. Look At My Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Space......

i feel like something has been ripped out of me. pain, just pain

but anyone who says it feels like death is wrong because i've felt both kinds of breakup and only death feels like death

it's true that no one picks their sobriety date but my one year sobriety birthday just happens to be this Friday October 13th and like. It literally couldnt be more on brand for me. Like nothing could ever top that. It's too perfect it's almost stressing me out. Like what can I even do to celebrate how could I ever do that justice. One of my black cats' birthdays is Halloween and I celebrated that by getting a tattoo on her 1st bday of her standing beside a jack o lantern so like how am I gonna figure out how to up the ante for this one

I'm sure a lot of you are stressed right now because of all the holiday food, but I wanted to remind you that calories are nothing more than a unit of energy for our bodies. If you're still seeing them as something that contributes to your weight, that's okay. But I would encourage you to try and look at it this way:

Your phone needs to be charged. Whether you charge it every night, or only when the battery is almost dead, it still needs to be charged, regardless. You wouldn't deprive your phone of less energy because you felt it didn't deserve it, would you? Or you wouldn't get mad at it for needing more energy, would you? Probably not, because it's an electronic device that simply needs to be charged to function. Your body is the same. Of course it's not as simple as a phone needing to be charged, but in recovery, no matter where you are, sometimes you need to simplify things. I've been in recovery for about a year now, and even though that's not a huge amount of time, I still find myself needing to break things down to make it easier not to engage in disordered behaviors.

You can take control over your disorder. You're strong.

If you need help, someone to talk to, or advice, please don't hesitate to send me a message or an ask! I'm here for you all <3 Happy New Year!

i reorganized and cleaned the entire bathroom top-to-bottom including under the sink & my hypomania brain is super down to take out the trash from that and then go reorganize n clean our other shower. however instead of doing that i am laying in bed typing this text post because as i finished scrubbing the bathtub, my body decided it had hit a HARD stop and that we will NOT be using our muscles for anything else for a while. currently cannot even move enough to get the painkillers on the other side of the room much less figure out, like..... dinner. the one drawback of hypomania is that i cease to notice physical fatigue. i anticipate that tomorrow might be Difficult.

however.

MY BATHROOM IS SO CLEAN :DDD

A hard day for staying on the recovery wagon for sure. But I did it!! So proud of myself for pushing through hard days. Easier days will come and hard days will get less and less and spaced further apart. The fight is worth it!! Never giving up!!

sometimes u will be doing bad but then you'll look back on a time years ago when u were doing bad and you'll realize you're feeling so much better than u were then and the meds and the therapy and the work were worth it. and that's what it's all about
