I would say since Fall 2020 I've been having issues with my anger. In 2021 it was the worst. I would start having crazy thoughts about "what if..." and it just made me irritated and fueled my ugly side. Pretty sure it played a part in getting head pains and feeling mentally off; that and some anxiety and stress had me feeling like shyt on certain days. Only weed would subside it. Over the last year I've done better with keeping it in check, but I'd still have my days. Recently I started listening to Jazz/classical music before bed and it's helped a lot with my mood and mental health. Haven't blazed since July.

Now I need to work on not letting things annoy me.
Was there an event in your life in the fall of 2020 that brought that on?

I let people get under my skin meanwhile my "enemies" seem to have their lives together

Yes, and what pushed it was the shytty owners of the property (we rent) doing work without notifying us on everything they had planned. They hired cheap laborers to do the job and it took them a half year to finish up when it shoulda been less.

It wasn’t until Sept of last year when I was finally getting some peace, then January I lost my grandma and it hit me hard. I was still getting better mentally, but her passing was rough on me.

This past month or two have been very enlightening. The struggle continues, but things are finally starting to look up for me lol! Started seeing a neurologist about my chronic headaches. I'm starting to believe it's due to my anxiety. And this November I will start therapy and I will be seeing a psychiatrist for an assessment to see if I'm on the spectrum (Which I am quite positive I am). So many things are starting to make so much sense to me! From my childhood years all the way up to now. It's like I'm literally relearning who I am. And I'm learning to be easier on myself.

I'm also wanna practice yoga and and pick up meditating again.:ehh:

It’s tough, but you gotta keep telling yourself to not let things get to you. It’s weird because in my 20s I was pretty much zen like. It wasn’t until I hit my 30s I let shyt get to me. I’m pretty sure it’s because I just don’t care for people; I let the negatives of them affect me. Of course I know not everyone is the same, but little shyt like people littering irritates me. Even though I don’t get bothered by it much, it still makes me :scust:

Also, practicing gratitude helped me out. Just going out to look at the sky on a clear day makes me feel pretty good.

Same bro, but sadly in this world people truly will take your kindness for weakness.
I had to become a little bit of A hole just so people know that I'm not a push around

Oh, I’ve known for a long time. :skip:

I was fukked over by a So called friend in my teens. I knew better than to do what I did, but I did it anyway. :snoop:

Learned from that and now I stand my ground and not let these fukks try to take advantage.

Better, much better, still a lot of moving parts but things have stabilized financially, and I met a woman so I'm content
Updaye mad setbacks across different fronts, I don't care the woman at all anymore and 100% sure I'm lower on her roster, but I got too comfortable and let something slip when things were better so if I cut her off there could be legal ramifications, so I'm tryna to just have her bush me so there's no spite involved. Just tryna fade out nice and slow. In the meantime, dipping and diving in the shadows.

TL, DR: Life shytty again, but really what's new?

No matter how bad I'm feeling or whatever I'm going through I always tell myself someone is going through it even worse
My bro is locked up and had to give him a pep talk because he was feeling down.

Most important thing Unless you have a terminal disease or life in prison anything in life can change for the better

You might feel like you're in a tough situation in your life right now, but your fortunes could change in a matter of days
