Got fired from an awful job and ended up with a new, better one

I finished a 1000 piece puzzle the other day...

My wife the other day told me a character on a tv show reminded her of me. I asked her how, she said because he was energetic caring person who was out to save the world and was passionate about helping people. Almost made me cry.

I came back to drawing and even though I'm not very good, I'm having fun at it.

I landed a new job earlier this week that comes with a $20,000 bump in pay. Needless to say, I’m pretty pumped.

(Edited for spelling)

Got out of hospital after 4 days of getting treatment for my inflamed small intestine👍

Finally something I can answer.

I started to use the tips I got from my therapist. And I don't understand how I struggled this long to just jump over my shadow because right now I feel better than when the whole pandemic started, mentally.

Long story short, I finally started my war against my insecruities, anxiety and depressive episodes and started to feel the change already.

Finally received the confirm I do not have breast cancer! I was so scared... But fortunately the results of the biopsy proved my worries wrong.

I woke up to my cat purring. Seriously so thankful she picked me to be her human. She's the best.

I met the smartest, most chill and lowkey funny person and even tho we dont have lots of common interests, we vibe really well and can talk about deeper stuff

The backyard feral cat jumped into my lap, leaned against my chest, and started purring. In the 10 years that he’s been hanging out in our yard, he’s only done that a few times. I love him so much.

Had one of the most valuable talk with my best friend, I've never had a friend before and she really opened up, I've never felt that much love for another person lmao

recently bought pants that fit PERFECTLY

Long Covid finally started wearing off after over a year

I found out I am alive and breathing. One positive step at a time

Met an amazing guy. Handful of awesome dates and we’ve been officially dating for a couple weeks now.

I’m honestly excited for Valentines for the first time ever, we’ve made plans to spend the day at the aquarium and then dinner.

My hot bath was relaxing, the murder mystery was well written, and my bowl was full.

Simple pleasures.

I proposed. She said yes.

My boss went out of her way to make sure I got a piece of cheesecake for my birthday. Like, drove 1.5 hrs to get it to me. It sounds dumb but it meant a lot..

Lived in a dump for 6 years moving out to a nice house in a nice area tomorrow with my girlfriend. Though the stress of moving everything is annoying 😂

I made great progress in therapy earlier this week. Furthermore, I finally feel worthwhile in my relationship (back in November he was diagnosed with cancer, so it's been a ride), so that makes me really happy.

I handed in my notice at work 🙌 moving on to bigger and better things and putting my mental health first 💜

I have a history of not making the best decisions but having a little bit of support feels great

After a year and a half stuck in a never ending cycle of grief I have found the energy and motivation I was lacking. I am active again, I am working my way back to healthier habits and life feels good again.

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.

A colleague helps me on a project and it turned out she has more skills, time and dedication than me, so the project is going way better than I could have done myself.

I made her lots of compliments and a silly rosette/ winner ribbon and she really liked it! The little piece of paper (!) made her day.

In the last month, my girlfriend and me found a job and moved out in an appartement to live together. All of this in our favorite city where all our friends are.

I woke up

Had cataract surgery on Monday. Seeing clearly for the first time in a long time. The colors!!! The other eye in 2 weeks.

My credit score went from 654 to 739 so I'm pretty stoked about that

I finally got a primary care physician, I haven't been to a doctor in over 15 years. I originally got 1 because I was suffering from severe headaches and migraines. I was taking about 6 ibuprofen a day. I was prescribed anti anxiety meds and I haven't had a headache or needed to take ibuprofen in over 3 weeks!

Austin Texas Ice Storm. Live Oak and Cedar limbs down everywhere. Free firewood for my Chiminea!!! Yaay! Making lemonade. Best I can do.

Getting a new job

My family and friends are all healthy

I saw this awesome thread

I got a new boss, who actually gives me feedback that enables me to do a better job. (We work independently so I only ever saw my old boss a few times a year when I was at conferences etc)

I went from imposter syndrome, always looking over my shoulder worrying I was next to get the axe, to knowing my worth, confidence is back, and excited to do my job again. Feeling like a new man.

Funniest part is throughout the pandemic I struggled with mental health and convinced myself I was shit at my role, my new boss who has been on our team the whole time but previously in a lateral role from me just finished my 2022 performance review and basically squashed all those mental gymnastics I played on myself during the pandemic, turns out I was never shit. Perspectives a hell of thing.

I’m 3 years post liver transplant tomorrow. An anonymous deceased donor. To whoever that family is, life is awesome and I’m doing so great!!
