greenstormIt's becoming clear to me that I've really stepped down my emotional self-care game in the last while. This is a problem, because quite honestly I take a lot of emotional self-care to be well and happy.
It's far enough along that even identifying the issues I need to put effort into is taking some work.
It seems right now that primarily I'm lonely (which means I need to spend meaningful time with friends I connect well with), I'm having trouble with self-advocacy around my needs (took steps about this but not sure how to fix it in a systemic way; maybe see if there are folks who require extra pushes to listen and spend less time with them), and I'm money stressed, and I'm not sleeping enough and am not getting much in the way of sex at the moment.
On a good note, I've come to the top of the low-cost counseling place's waiting list, so I'll hopefully be matched with a compatible counselor (this will take some work on my part) and try to figure out the weird snarl my summer is turning into. Otherwise I guess I won't find a counselor that fits and will wait for UBC, which still is not that far away?
