The first week was tough. But I have been encouraged to build up a hobby again and to develop some cope ahead techniques. So I am crocheting again and writing a letter to my estranged father. I've also been taking care of my health. 5 lbs down. Long road ahead. I've got this.07 Feb 2026 08:28 +0000at://did:plc:id3r533lnbkb7webhlhfchqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3meaysws6pk2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/lucidiacat.bsky.social/post/3mdkhcqiuds2xAfter cleaning a little and TMS, I might try to return to crocheting again. I took a step back with everything that happened. Luckily, I was accepted into an IOP, which I hope I start next week, pending my insurance. I am sad, but things are looking good up.29 Jan 2026 09:16 +0000at://did:plc:id3r533lnbkb7webhlhfchqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdkhcqiuds2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/lucidiacat.bsky.social/post/3mdkh3hab5s2xI want a puppy. A little schnauzer. I wonder if my son would be allergic to one. Most dogs cause his congestion to flare badly.

I used to love the holiday season, but now... I know what I'm feeling is probably a down swing from my bipolarism. It's been hard to function, to take care of my home, my family, work.
