I’m finding life a bit tough at the moment. If I allow myself to go back to my default setting - feeling sorry for myself/comparing myself to others/mentally compiling examples of how things keep going wrong for me and those close to me, then I would be in danger of getting bitter and acting like Jack. So I work hard at keeping a check on that and I won’t lie, a part of that is reminding myself that “things could get worse...you could act like Jack. Easier said than done sometimes but I’ve got to keep at it because I want better for myself.
I’ve always had depression and I’ve eventually persuaded the Psychiatrist who looks after me (not on speed dial) to change my meds again because they just weren’t working and in addition, I put on a lot of weight as one of them is notorious for it. So I’m on a wee journey of weaning down/nothing/starting new but I am confident that I would still have better impulse control with posting than Jack does. If I feel
tit/irritable/agitated I will stay offline. I understand Jack maybe doesn’t have that but she knows she can get it...she just doesn’t want it.
Last weekend I had a word with myself about over sharing but clearly I should bump that up my defect list. Sorry fraus
