How are you doing today? 🤔
Take a moment to check in with yourself using this scale. It's perfectly fine to land anywhere from 1 to 5. The most important thing is acknowledging where you're at. Drop your number below (if you feel comfortable!) and let's support each other.

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/

We all experience anxiety. It has both mental and physical effects. An anxiety disorder takes these effects to much higher levels. And it sucks.
