Well it sure seems like it to us... I mean you're doing so much to try. It's not like you're a genie who can blink, wiggle your nose and POOF better things appear instantly without regard to reality (ex: poof, instant job with tons of money, poof, limo, poof, mansion, poof, doctorate). You have to do things in steps, and you're doing them.... it's why we're proud of you :)

I'm actually really tired... think I"m going to head to bed. Night all.

That's not true though. You've been going to group.

She doesn't see that or that I've been trying to apply for colleges or trying to code (which I need to get back to). All she sees is me "sitting around " and going to hang out with friends to smoke.

It's always going to be hard for the people around you to see the changes youre making. People have their own biases and if they're used to seeing you a certain way, it can take a lot more effort than usual to alter that.

Try your best not to be discouraged by that. You need to set milestones and goalposts for yourself, not for the people around you. You can do this!!

Don't listen to her. You'll have to build up boundaries where you decide for yourself whether you're doing something or not, getting better or not. Nobody can decide for you what you're feeling, but they can affect your self-image in unhelpful ways.

This forum is just so much more than a place to find methods, in just 3 weeks I have experienced every emotion, that I never thought I would ever feel anymore sad, angry, hopeless, loved, cared, kindness, relieved. I don't know how is this even happening.

I've observed you nothing but stuff to better yourself. Is impressed me that most of your posts are updates on you trying to get help and improve. I think people need to be realistic and understand you have to build a foundation first before you can reach their lofty standards. People who are still fully functional in life often don't' see this and tbh that's not always surprising. I would probably have been the same before everything collapsed. It often takes being in that situation yourself to engender understanding. But that leaves you in a tough situation, having to try and communicate that to someone.

First off Good Morning everyone!

@goomsoom I'm very glad to hear this place is helping you to feel emotionally again! I've had similar experiences and I'm very grateful for this community as a whole. It definitely is a magical place.

Long night? What did you get into?
Huh. Now that I think about it..not a lot. I smoked and read about brain injuries for a few hours, then when my roommate went to bed stole his computer and caught up on a show I'm watching and dabbed.

Sounds about like my night. Different reading material though. What show have you been watching? I'm waiting on What We Do In The Shadows to come back right now.

What did you read? I haven't heard of that show, I will have to check it out. I was watching Evil, but I caught up on it so I am now waiting.

Could you call your doctor and ask them for something to help you sleep?

I was just catching up on science and astrology news a bit. It's a hilarious show, it's about vampire roommates. The first episode or two isn't that great but they really get into the groove after that. The main character is a voice actor and did the show Fonejackers (love it). I'd highly recommend it.

Sounds like a good read, I love science! I need some comedy in my life. I will definitely check it out in my downtime! I'll also check out Fonejackers because I haven't watched that either.
