Time to take some time out for

[sinisterporpoise]

 It’s time to take some time out and express gratitude.  Things may not have been great, but as I’ve said, they’re looking up. I managed to get another writing gig, the housemate at least has a job starting in August, and it may be that I will not have to leave Indiana soon. I may even make it through to my ALJ hearing.  (Although part of me now wants to take a trip to the Pacific Northwest. I want to know why transgender people seem to bee attracted to the Seattle area. I theorize that the Space Needle serves as a magnet drawing them to it.)

Now, it’s time to take some time out and remember that things are not that bad.

 First, thanks to all the friends, both online and offline. It’s been a rough year for me and I know I haven’t been easy to deal with.  Sometimes I wonder if I’ve been demanding too much of your time or coming off as needy. Thanks for putting up with this.

Secondly, thankexs to the family members who offered their financial support or even sent me clothes to help me get through this year.  This helped more than you know.  

I am thankful the housemate has let me live here rent free during this time. (I’ve tried giving her money. She won’t take it, although she’s not adverse to me contributing to the food budget.)t

Finally, I am thankful that things seem to be letting up. Getting a new writing gig should help things here somewhat. It’ll let me go back into my blogging hobbies and perhaps boost my mental health a little.

And let's hope it is just the levothyroxine causing the anxiety. I know this can be reduced by increasing my cymbalta dosage.  I just hope I don't lose friends and alienate people over the actions I took during this.

Note: I am trying to post less on Dreamwidth.   I may at some point use it to record the cognitive behavioral therapy exercises, but I already feel guilty  enough about involving others in my unnecessary emotional dramas.
