Time to brag.

My mental and physical health have improved in leaps and bounds compared to my all-time low a couple years ago. I've been on a good combo of meds for my anxiety and depression for a while now, but I still had a major fatigue problem. Ironically, getting diagnosed with type 2 diabetes may have been the best thing that could have happened to me. Over the last couple months I have radically changed my diet. That combined with my new prescription for semaglutide has led me to lose lots of weight already, with no signs of stopping. My doctor was actually impressed (and noted that it was happening at a healthy speed, so no worries there).

Best of all, I seem to have enough energy to do more than just survive, now. I've been frustrated for a while because my mind was well enough to want to DO things, but my body couldn't keep up. But now I'm actually making plans and following through. Learning stuff, trying new things. They may be simple now, like building an easy model kit and learning to hand-code a website, but I actually have a list of like... 40 different projects I want to take on, organized from simple and quick to complex and lengthy, and I'm moving on through it.

You have no idea how psyched I am to
A. Have interests, and
B. Be able to pursue them

It's like I'm living life, or something. 🤘

I've been there, with a different set of health circumstances.

But the feeling of the world opening up again in small ways is joyous. Being able to think ahead and plan projects. Hell yeah!
