17 Week 20

I am trying to make mental and emotional health progress in the midst of what still feels like a pretty unhealthy situation. 

I can see some small progress in myself, but overall, the environment feels rough. 

Our relationship is still strained and work is unhealthy for me at least. I feel disconnected from Jay and work, just now starting to gain some small connections to myself. I am starting to learn some emotional regulation skills as I also try and do things that are fun and enjoyable, whatever that looks like in the moment. I'm working on being disciplined at home and work both. 

Highlights:

- Kid's visit all weekend

- Using salmon from Alaska friend's visit for family dinner 

- Giving the Blue Beast a new home 

- Therapy
