@hazardwarning I’m working on decluttering my mind while I have this forced break. Only then will I be able to think about where to go next. I know what kind of jobs I want to go for so that’s not an issue and I’m happy to be getting so many interviews in a short space of time. I might even be able to learn other stuff while I’m at it. I hope your last day in the office went well and also sending hugs your way for the sad times.
@sumudu I feel the same way. I think writing here is probably better than writing in any kind of journal, at least you can get advice from others and gain a different perspective even when you can’t see it for yourself.
They say never to make any decisions while you’re angry but I really don’t know what to do in this situation. I feel like I’ve been kicked in the guts by this particular “friend” so many times that I don’t know where to go from here. I don’t feel like he’s being completely honest with me yet trying to get any kind of information out of him is like extracting teeth. It’s not in my nature to cut people out of my life completely but I feel like I have no choice. Can anyone give me some advice? Maybe there’s cues I’m not seeing here - I’ve never been great at that either.
@matigo True. I was talking about the neighbour that is directly next door. That being said, my neighbour across the street has a pesky cat who likes to terrorise everybody walking past.
@matigo at least your neighbour doesn’t throw their butts into your side passage when they’re done though.
So while I’m not working, I’m taking a step back to focus on the things that truly make me happy. I’ve been catching up with some friends where I can and getting back into painting and playing Zelda (I’m playing Wind Waker at the moment). I’ve also been playing DnD on a Saturday morning with my niece & BIL. One thing I want to get back to is my CBT course I started a couple of months ago but I also want to find some anxiety and depression podcasts I can listen to. I feel like this self healing journey is well overdue but at least I’m addressing it now.
@matigo you’ve taught the boy well. I think if my parents had done the same thing with me at that age, I’d probably have the same love for tomatoes he does. As it stands, I can’t stand them.

@matigo I wish I was like you in that respect. I can go through phases where I’ll either go without chocolate for a while or I’ll eat it all without giving it a second thought.
@sumudu Its ok. It’s hard to settle these kind of thoughts sometimes. Especially the preconceived thoughts where the only way to settle anything is to ask the leading questions, which is something I’m also not good at.
