The holiday season brings on some complicated emotions and memories for me. While I have joy with my wife and offspring, there is a lot of history and trauma that gets dredged up too. If you experience this as well, please know that you are not alone. I see you.
Better today than yesterday. Feeling physically and emotionally tired, but the fog has mostly cleared. Putting in the work (various therapy modalities & SSRIs) has made me more resilient, even when things put me off balance.

Every once in a while, my #Depression hefts my #Suicide attempt (https://cantjuggle.com/2024/03/17/almost-there-and-back-again-a-fat-mans-tale/) like a blacksmith's favorite hammer, walks boldly up to me, and bashes me in the chest. It LOVES that my feelings about that event are not as cut and dry as I would like.
Dealing with that now.

Feeling proud. Wrapping up a successful client engagement; my first since leaving Microsoft. Feedback from Client, my manager, and my teammates was beyond stellar. My self-confidence has returned. I cannot stress enough how much that means to me.

Feeling pretty beat today. #Anxiety spike on Saturday left me flat yesterday and lingering today. No reason for the spike. They don't need one. For more on what this feels like, see https://cantjuggle.com/2022/02/05/anxiety-disorder-acid-and-cash-money/
