Frankly, this recovery means sometimes I’m a bitch. I can be cold, very matter of fact, ruthless in my assessment of a situation. I got dealt a raw deal, and because of it I have a very short fuse before I’m like “ugh. Just accept your shit and soldier on.”

But I’m a VERY sympathetic person. I always try and see other people’s perspective when they just piss me off. I’ve said this before; everyone’s got problems. And even if your stress seems dumb it’s your truth and I respect that it upsets you.

I have a free gratitude app on my phone and try to daily write down the positives. I don’t try for a certain number of things and if I miss a day I don’t beat myself up.
