How was 2023 for you?

My mental health declined drastically especially in the second half of the year. I visited my horrible sister, and if you see what she’s actually like when she’s not putting on a facade you’ll be horrified at how bad someone can be. It was all okay before visiting her.

Some good stuff happened too, but rn my mental health is really bad, I lock myself in the room, watch tv all day so I don’t have to think, go to the kitchen twice a day to make myself something to eat, go to bed by 9pm hoping I don’t wake up the next day.

I’ll list the good stuff too, apparently that rewires the brain:
1) I got to work as a consultant endodontist, I enjoyed that, it was my first real job.
2) I took up a part time as a resident dentist and made amazing bunch of friends who actually liked me.
3) I learnt new stuff at the clinic.
4) I started driving by myself(it’s a big deal for me, it’s not as easy driving in india)
5) I passed the US board exam in my first attempt despite living in a very toxic environment and even tho I took it right after breaking up with the bf of 5 years.
6) I finally learnt how to conceal my dark circles nicely, and I realised with makeup I’m pretty darn hot.
7) I got hair treatment done so my hair looks a lot nicer than last year.
8) My baby cat became mommy.
9) I realised I’ don’t get anxious asking for things from the stewardess. (That was hard for me until like last year)

One of the worst years of my pitiful life. The woman I was living with and I had a big argument one year ago today and after making my life miserable for 5 months she moved out. We weren't romantic, she is half my age, but she was my best friend for a couple years. I haven't been able to get over it. I've started writing 3 short stories and abandoned all of them because I couldn't focus. An entire year lost because I lost my temper and yelled at her over a stupid ugly cheap used couch she bought sight-unseen on the Internet. I'll never forgive myself for that.

@hunkalove It seems like a trivial thing to fight about but if you two had stayed together? What other bad decisions would she have made that could have caused actual problems? Nigerian scams? Trying to get back with some ex?
I think you dodged a bullet.

@CestManan A year later I think you might be right. All she would have had to say was "I'm sorry" and "We can find a couch we both like" and that would have been the end of it. But she couldn't admit she had done something wrong and I never should have lost my temper.
