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)

I almost died. I had flesh eating bacteria on the back of my neck, which spread to my vertebrae. I had surgeries and a skin graft. I had to use a walker for three months. My neck is still stiff and my body still weak. I also learned I had diabetes. Fortunately, medication has brought my sugar level down. The year ended with my stool sample testing positive for possible colon cancer. Today, I cut my lip on the foil of my Chipotle burrito.

On the flip side, I got promoted, and got a huge bonus for some work I did in fall 2020. I got a colonoscopy, and they did not find any cancer. Today, I am enjoying a Chipotle burrito!
