I made some curry for lunches next week! I can feel some of my palate improving because I felt myself craving fresh fruit and not processed slop. Watermelon and pineapples are so good! I love them! Now I want to explore some more umami non-meal things to eat that aren’t a processed snack.

I unfortunately had some wine over the weekend but it was with my folks so I consider that slip worth it.

Getting into the process of finding a therapist now that I have my first paycheck. I’m going to try CBT and see if I can finally start meds for ADHD.

I had an interview for a place out of Ohio that went pretty well, and with some luck I can get a temporary job for me to build residency in a more progressive state and also be closer to some friends to boot! The great satan is cringe but there’s some parts that aren’t all that bad, especially with friends.

I would also like to try some more experiences so I can find a job I think I will thrive in. ADHD sucks because it makes me so easily bored by everything even though I know by now that almost everything is an acquired taste and not something I will instantly fall in love with because it’s my destiny. I’m a bloody Marxist and I still don’t let myself analyze even the non-political with dialectics. Shit sucks.

Self Improvement

333 readers
25 users here now

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.

While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.

This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.

Rules and guidelines:

  1. Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

  1. Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

  1. Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
