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)

Definitely make note of the good things that happened. It helps shift the focus where it needs to be.

Both this year and last year wrecked the hell out of me. But with each breath I try to hold onto the blessings that came my way. They were often tiny and scattered about, but at least I was here to experience their warmth and goodness. That’s the greatest gift 2023 gave me…just being here for the ride.
