Designing and drawing up the floor plans and blue prints for the house I get to build in roughly 6 years. Going to be moving to the Philippines and building our house on some land we have there.
Getting a job (got laid off), further developing my friendships who have been a God send during this time, and trying to kick the booze (which is fucking hard under the circumstances).
reverse engineering the IR remote of a cheap chinese LED strip to make it IOT capable, because I was bored and that sounded like fun (it is fun just took longer than expected)
I share your battle with alcohol. In a much better place lately and in control again. Heineken zero’s have been awesome when im meeting up with friends at the bar. My brain enjoys that I can still have the social component of it without the downsides. And im getting much better about having a glass or two of whiskey and calling it a night vs polishing off 3/4 of a bottle on a wednesday for no reason other than enjoying the temporary numbness.
Really working on attacking my debt. On a positive note had a sit down with my boss and got myself a decent pay bump, hit some bonus metrics, and have some pending sales for some tools/equipment I no longer need that will give me a little bump and allow me to pay off at least 1-2 of my current balances. Still a long ways to go but feels like a massive relief to have more of a cushion and make some of these smaller ones disappear. For the first time in a while I feel like I have some solid traction on fixing the mess I made these last few years trying to afford childcare for twins.
Anger management. Recent life events and numerous factors between work, family, location, etc. have ramped my anxiety to 9000 and it seems the tiniest of things set me off now. For example, a few weeks back my phone fell out of my pocket and fell into the toilet. I quickly grabbed it, removed the phone case, and put it in a ziploc bag of rice. I proceeded to take the empty phone case and throw it into the wall. I know this isn’t an appropriate way to handle anger and stress and I don’t want to put those around me in any danger.
I have a therapy appointment scheduled for tomorrow.
trying to get disciplined with studying.
I’m in medschool but very lazy, EXHAUSTED, overworked and got a lot on my plate, esp extracurriculars
but I’m trying to be more committed to my academics and build up my grades instead of just passing exams
I have the attention span of a goldfish and the stamina of a panda but the work load of a future doctor
Being sober which is easier this time than it was in the past because this time i actually want to instead of figuring i have to. Trying not to eat garbage all the time, trying to work out some here and there dont really have a greater goal i just got freaked out by how skinny my arms looked on a picture and i want to be able to lift my own bodyweight in various ways to make climbing easier. Redoing my apartment, i just had it with these see through curtains, bedsheets that dont fit and used up pillows so i’m ordering all new all matcing purging the old and bringing order to this mess once and for all. Also been spending probably too much on tools and hardware, a lot of tasks around the house or with the car i have some way too powerful overdimensioned “this thing is coming loose or i swear to god i’ll rip it off the ground” stuff lying around and i its just so much more fun doing stuff with proper tools that i have system on and not some bs from the 90s i have to get the tangled extension cord for or old ass bs thats an adventure trying to make it start every time oh my god i cant even
I’m 31 and “recently” single. Got out of a toxic 8 years long relationship (One year ago) and since then, I’ve lost 50lbs, got hella more fit, build up some nice muscles and started focusing on my hobbies more! Managed to rebuild my self image and confidence. Never been happier I’m telling ya. Felt like the joy of life was just beaten out of me (figuratively)
Now, I work a boring-ass corporate job and I hate it. not the job itself, but the idea of spending the next 30 years bouncing between zoom calls and whatnot. Complete degeneracy imho.
So I’ve decided to pursue police academy. At the age of 31, I will be applying this coming October to become an officer. (position for the paid academy cadet – so they pay me while im in the academy).
Been going on dates recently as well, but honestly going out now feels like a chore, as I’m quite happy where I’m at in life. I’ve managed to save up a lot of money too, enough to buy a house tomorrow if I wanted to, so money is not an issue for me either.
When it comes to dating, a lot of women at 28-32 just feel extremely immature or full of themselves. But, somehow, I’m the one to cancel the most dates, so perhaps that makes me a bit egoistic, but I’m not playing cat & mouse with them at this age. Most certainly not chasing anyone.
So yeah, honestly, I’d say life is 7/10 right now. Add a point once I get into the academy. Add a point when I find a good woman and add the last 10th point when I buy a house with her and start a family! And that’d be 10/10.
My physique. At the gym rn, and I am trying to push past my left leg having a cramp on leg day. I lowered the weights so it doesn’t lead to a worse injury, but it happened after my first set. 😑
Got an ADHD diagnosis about a year ago. This insight changed my life. Meds went even further.
So I’m finally working on setting up my business as a real estate agent. Never could imagine I would ever be able to pull it off. I’m 55 and finally working on my dream.
Working on getting myself out of depression. It’s hell of a fight but I’m trying. Worse part is there are days where I feel great and 1 word(as a trigger) from somebody can put me back in the depression hole.
Healing childhood trauma that has lead to extremely avoidant behavior and a lack of emotional avaiability in both romantic and platonic relationships in my adult life
I’m 35 years old, and I’m still working on conquering my fear and disdain of driving. I never liked driving, but there are so many things that are more conveniently accessible by car rather than public transit–and being unable to drive at my age can be embarrassing when I’m trying to date.
