Day 7
For the first part of the day I felt great. Motivated and self-assured, everything was fine and I might even call it mild euphoria. Later on however my male friend came in and I started to feel serious anxieties. If there are two things that make me anxious right now, those are:
1) Alcohol, as it seems to wake up in me deeper emotions I try to heal and get rid of. Anger, disdain, things like that. I guess it's understandable as alcohol does that to most people but it does so now more than before. If you want a proof in the past I would drink a couple of beers just to fall asleep better and escape my issues, nowadays I'm much more at peace without it.
2) Toxic people, that friend and my ex especially. Well, that friend is not really that toxic, but I have some serious issues with him that I know he won't understand and accept and so I tend to keep my mouth shut about it. That sadly means I grow anxious around him. In the end I think it comes from scarcity mindset - I'm introvert and it's hard for me to make new good friends and so I don't wanna lose him.
Take those two elements and I tend to feel better with each day. My cold continues, I didn't get sicker but neither am I healthy, which is really bad. I'd rather suffer 2-3 days and get over it rather than be in this state of semi-health for however long it will take.

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
