oh Hi, long time no Tumblr.Ā Iāve not been online here since 2016. 5 years Iāve been gone. Which is fine, because I never had a following or best friends on here, but itās weird looking back at posts from 5 years ago and how relevant they all still seem to be.Ā Update on life I guess:Ā I got married in 2020 to my honest to God Soulmate.Ā I started a job in 2019 in my field of study after walking out of my job at Walmart in 2016. I bounced between a few jobs before then and now, but it was worth it.Ā Adam and I have two adopted fur babies, Duke, and Sokka. Both are ass holes but we love them.Ā 2021 was difficult. It was one of the hardest years of my life. Adam and I were newlyweds trying to figure out what we were doing with our lives, and incorporating being married into the throw of things. We had financial hardships and job stress which caused a dependency on alcohol and fighting with one another. I started having flashbacks of things I thought I'd healed from. Things that horrifically happened when I was a child. I lashed out. I tried to hit him. I broke a door. He broke a door.Ā He drunkenly pushed me so hard one night he bruised my sternum.Ā We cried together. We realized things were not good. We stopped drinking.Ā I started therapy in March of 2021. I was diagnosed with PTSD, and in December 2021, was diagnosed with ADHD. The PTSD is from trauma in my childhood and some of my early adulthood.Ā He changed jobs. We found peace.Ā Itās still hard. I cry a lot. He plays EOS but it helps him destress. Iāve also decided Iām going to start blogging on here again. Iām highly doubtful anyone will ever read any of this, but it may help. Help the hatred I still feel for myself even though I do therapy once a week and know how loved I am. He tells me every day and shows me the majority of the time.Ā Heās broken too, but in a different way. Thatās his story to tell though.Ā Iām in graduate school for mental health counseling too. Iām almost a full year in (March 2022!) and I have a 3.8 GPA. I never thought Iād have the will or support to do it, but here we are. Iām going to be able to actually make an impact and I feel so relieved I can.Ā Well, thatās all for now. I hope anyone who reads this has had a good last 5 years.
