Just before I got cheated on my ex stayed at my house for like 2 weeks and one day we went to the beach and it was the best day of my life. We were in the sea in UK and it was kinda cold but we went in on a private part of the beach that I knew of and went swimming. Then when we were far enough out that I couldn't reach the ground but he could he had me in his arms and we said I love you to each other and it felt so genuine and that moment is probably the most in love with him I've ever been. Looking back it's kind of bittersweet because I know now that it wasn't real because he cheated on me like a week later but I still love the memory. Those 2 weeks are the happiest and most loved I've ever felt in my life, now that that was fake everything else feels fake too.
Seeing my dad for the first time after starting Ritalin was also really nice, it made me realise how well I was functioning with it and I felt like I was really connecting with him which is something I've struggled to do for a while. We got my phone repaired at Apple so I didn't have a phone for the whole time and his died, so we went to lunch at a really expensive restaurant and spoke to each other with no phones and I was able to focus on the conversation because of Ritalin and it felt so good to properly engage in conversation without manically checking my phone every 10 seconds. The food was really nice too and I hadn't been to that restaurant since I recovered from my anorexia so I got to enjoy something I hadn't been able to enjoy since we had went when I was a child. Then since my heart is kinda fucked from my suicide attempt + Ritalin now I tried out his Fitbit and he offered to take me down the road and get me one out of nowhere and it felt really thoughtful and nice. The specific moment for this one was when I hugged him and said thank you and I love you again, I don't know why. It was just really nice to function around my dad I guess, I haven't functioned around him for a long time.
Also when I was a tiny child I have little flashes of memories with my cousin who died when he was 17. I miss him a lot, I wish he'd lived longer so I could remember him more vividly. My most vivid memory involving him was saying no to going to see him a few days before he died because I was tired after shopping and passed on my last opportunity to see him. Obviously I didn't know but it really haunts me, I think this might be where my downwards spiral started.
