I'm sorry that's happening. The beginning of this year hasn't been great for many people lol. How's life? Got any 2025 resolutions?
Get my shit together. Keep working out. I want to try and get into a relationship again. Also I want to reach a decent level at cooking.
What's your current level of cooking like? I bloody love it for getting out of my head (anxiety here, nothing quite as a severe as what you're experiencing...).
Always happy to discuss food. Full disclosure I'm vegetarian and am cursed when it comes to baking potatoes, so I may not be a great person to get advice from.
Working out more is a big goal for me this year, too. At first it was just for my health and to look good for my upcoming wedding, but now it's also because I'm worried about the fascists coming into office here in the US 😬. Not to bring up more anxiety-causing things lol.
Also feeling the cooking thing. I've been watching all these cooking and baking shows to calm me down and relax me between all the depressing news and stuff, which makes me want to try it. It's just spending the time and energy to find recipes or cook them after coming home that's annoying.
