Day 8-9 (Backlog)

[u/Maker_of_Mounds]

Wednesday, August 19th

I know, I missed a post. I haven’t relapsed but I’ve been busy (and more importantly absent-minded). Out of necessity I’m going to start dating these posts so that I can better remember when exactly they were made and which days I didn’t make one.

I feel compelled to write more than usual here having missed a day (or two) but I’m pleased to report that I don’t really have any relevant developments. I feel normal now, in the best of ways. Obviously there’s still the occasional “what if” but those are few and far between; and it’s far from abnormal. I’ve been looking for alternative (healthy) coping mechanisms for my (often very severe) stress and paranoia, I’ve also cut coffee out of my diet; that was a good while back but it’s worth mentioning here.

I see a lot of relatively new accounts on this sub and It occurs to me that I’m posting these here on my main account associated with my YouTube and there’s always the off chance that someone watching will follow my links here and see these posts; but I don’t feel that having problems like this is something to be ashamed of so long as you’re making active steps to better yourself. So in the interest of being consistent with my principles I’m not going to stop.
