IM QUITTING LMAO. too much mentally. talking with jackie at her backyard. doing this during the talk the studio visits until the opening is too much. i need to stop and take care of myself. maybe ill still write down what i did during treatment but im stopping afterwards. i need a break. im taking care of myself. fuck off on kawara
9:32
11:23 ok i dont know if im quitting or not. ill see. it will just be full of gaps in the next two days cuz of talks and visits.
but anyways today i drew on my ipad a bunch wnd watched the f1 race with mimi. so proud of lando. wendy and i had the realization that we were both at the rich brian concert together way back when.
8:14 race ends with mimi and i go to jackie’s i drive
8:27 i find parking and say im here. jackie gets me and we go to the backyard area with the fire pit.
we catch up wnd talk about a bunch of things. i meet three of their roommates that come outside one by one n hang out just during the course of the evening.
we talk abt the psychology professor we’ve both had and how she made a weird tweet that was out of line. we also talk abt languages. jackie is learnjng german rn and used to take french but its rusty. jackies roommate is linguistics so we talked a lot abt languages tonight. i talked a bit abt not being as fluent in spanish anymore
theo also came out for a bit he was getting cords for a new interface he got for his audio stuff but he had been troubleshooting all day only to realize he didnt have the right cord. he left at around 9:30 came back a bit before 10. they didnt have the cords at target so he ordered one online
jackie and i talk abt graduation and seeing everyone and we try and figure out how many people there are in roski and quickly give up. jackie went to a fabric store today and is gonna start making clothes. i tell her abt boots i got and she talks about a jumpsuit she bought. exciting. jackie says she might roller skate across the stage at graduation and i say do it.
another one of her roommates came out earlier but i dont remember much of what we talked abt. they were rlly cute n i couldbt look them in the eye. she rolled a joint and smoked next to us as jackie and i chatted. the other roommate that came out later had redownloaded tiktok and was becoming addicted again
when the last roommate left i also decided to leave. we were talking about shitty reality shows and jackie was telling us about one about marrying millionaires and i tell her about the fake prince harry dating show. we all have fun talking abt both of them.
10:49 i get back home and text jackie that i’m back safe. i go inside and go to the bathroom dont change slippers
then i talked with wendy a bit. she was on call with theo. i checked laundry and i think milners laundry was still in the dryer. its too late to do laundry so ill take that L. i then swept the kitchen floor briefly but not too intense.
then i fed my sourdough starter and got water and drank it then got more water and refilled the jug. then i came to my room took off slippers got my ramen from today and took it threw away container and washed chopsticks and spoon. go back to room sit down
then i type. also i was working on my talk tomorrow for chapman and i emailed micol at 7:48 and at 8:37 she emailed back and i read it a bit ago and replied at 11:13 lmao. i was on instagram for a bit after sitting down too. i forgot what i wrote down today but kibum cant make it but david is going to try but hes still in colorado and so is laub
11:37 finish typing all that down. sorry its a fucked up log today but i managed to type it down. it might become more anecdotal like this depending on how the days go. i also want to see what happens after the opening because either i stop then or i continue until the end of april which seems rather fitting. i do only have ten days to go pretty much. i think i can make it happen im just being more lenient with myself because i dont want to run myself to the ground while also being in therapy !!!
this has gotten a lot harder ever since being in therapy. the good news is that im doing a lot better. that also means that im exhausted after therapy and so i dont do a lot after or check my phone or have energy for several hours so there’s always a Gap in motivation that i have.
so i guess it was easier to do back when i started but now its kind of just me trying to find energy when i can and im telling myself that its ok. im doing a lot of emailing and energy expending rn for the show so it makes sense that i have less energy to take notes like this. and i think that rather than quitting its to celebrate that
also because i have way less compulsions now so i dont really have markers like i used to where i have to write things down !!! like before i would write down every time i sanitized but now i dont so i just vibe and draw for a few hours and dont look at my phone at all. my life is just different right now and i thjnk that’s beautiful
typing all of this stuff down is helping me a lot because i think what ive learned through all this is that i genuinely do have a life and i feel like im breathing again finally after having such a bad time with my ocd. and im not like my sim as much anymore. im like my sim on a good day in the beginning now. it really did become a weird 180. so i think its exciting that it did that ! but now all of my actions r more instinctive rather than being ruled by compulsions so i think less while doing the things and so time passes by
but isn’t that really interesting ? how packed my days felt when i first started out and how ruled by mental prompts i was. and now it feels more like im following my whims and what i truly desire rather than what my brain is telling me to do. i feel more human again. and im rlly happy about that
so maybe that’s what ill do is ill try my best to use timestamps during treatment but if i want to just do freeform writing like i am now afterwards then that will be just as interesting. because im thinking differently now. This is how im thinking now. im a completely different person
isnt that beautiful ? i think that’s beautiful. ok i have to charge my phone and take my meds one second here
11:46 i get up go to take meds we bumped my risperdal up to 1.75 at night but besides that everything is the same
11:47 i look in the mirror. feel fat but its ok i tell myself. i didnt eat dinner but i had a nutrigrain fruit bar while talking to wendy once i got back
11:48 i put away my sweatshirt and turn off mylight. i take off my sweatpants so im just wearing my pj shorts again. i turn off my light and wait for my eyes to adjust then get into bed and charge mu phone
11:51 sam and wendy are chatting outside abt having bad days. mimi and i were also super tired today. we cant tell if its the post party or not cuz sam wasnt at the party this weekend he was in his room
11:52 wendy goes back to her room. she snorted all of her coke last night instead of asking sam for adderall. im concerned abt both of those actions since she was trying to force an all nighter
11:53 i didnt brush my teeth or put on T but ill do that tomorrow morning. gonna catch up on obey me
