It has been a while since I last updated. During that time I have house and dog sat for a week and read some excellent books. Honestly, it was like a holiday for me too. I loved the lack of social and emotional pressure. My mental health was excellent. I also lost some weight.
Despite the positive report, I have also realised that certain aspects of my life – specifically other people – have not been as healthy for me as I would like. That means making changes while minimising hurt feelings. If anyone knows how to do that, please tell me – I’m clueless.
There are a lot of small things that I put up with even though I find them upsetting, insulting, rude, or stressful. I know what they are but have failed to address them. Especially when those things are part of existing relationships and are not a point of fault in any one person.
However, admitting there is a problem is 90% of the work. Just the other bit left to do.
