I feel like I’m doing good in my recovery

I’ve been feeling good and stable this year because of my meds. I had some post traumatic stress but it’s much less than it used to be. I also got kind of bummed out because of current events and because I’m fearful about the future but that’s normal and there’s nothing I can do about that. The main thing is that my anger is much less from my chronic post traumatic stress so that’s good. I even lost two pounds last month. I just want to lose weight so I won’t be obese anymore. My blood pressure is good. I’m hoping it will be a good year for me this year and I can accomplish all of my goals for 2022. The main thing I struggle with is showering every day. I’m thinking I can shower every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. That gives my towel time to dry because the thing I hang my towel on doesn’t have enough room for me to put my towel on there because my dad has two towels on there for some reason so I have to fold my towel in half so it probably takes a day or two for it to completely dry. I don’t want to dry off with a wet towel. That’s about all I have to say. Just checking in if anyone cares.

Its great, my angermanagement makes progress as well. I didn’t had an outburst of anger for awhile. Only three days ago i yelled at the TV, but i haven’t thrown any objects in two years and didn’t banged the wall with my fist for at least seven years.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you guys can benefit from some CBT. That’s what I do and it helps me.

Recovery is a return to a normal state of health, mind or strength.

That’s great! I haven’t broken anything or punched walls for years.

Thanks @shutterbug. I’m just really focused on my health and getting healthy again. I want to live for a long time even though I don’t think I’ll have kids.

I am getting out again today for a walk. I have hopes my back will get better. I believe it got bad from doing nothing but sitting in my stinky chair. I’m going to wander around town for a good while. Just do what feels natural. I don’t drink or smoke either. I keep forgetting to ask my pdoc what she thinks of CBD. Damn, I talked to her today!

Yes i avoid the alcohol as well. I noticed its agitate me. Only when i am with my friends, but i don’t drink somewhere as a stranger. I drink when i have no way out, so only temporarily. I wish i could say i never drunk alcohol in my life. But i was still a kid when i drunk my first drop.
