Overcoming Fear V2.

Quote:Been just over a month since I got OFv2, so I thought I'd give another update.
Felt like it took some time, but I am feeling really good on this sub lately. There are still days where I feel like I have brain fog or just feel disconnected from reality a bit, but when I feel the execution of the sub it really does feel like I'm on a cloud and just relaxed. Socially I feel much more like myself and can be myself a lot more around people. When looking at others I can see why some people are stuck where they're at in life. You really do get a sense of who's being held back by deep seeded fears and insecurities in life.
From a health standpoint, I feel like I'm no longer afraid to live a healthier lifestyle. While it's not perfect yet, my diet has slowly been improving and there are a few bad habits that I had that I've completely eliminated. I used to drink about 3-4 sodas a day, and now the last few months I've had maybe one each month? Alcohol intake has also been reduced quite a bit. I do still drink alcohol every now and then, but unlike last summer during quarantine where it was almost daily, I'll maybe have a few drinks on the weekends. I no longer have to find a way to motivate myself to exercise either. I'm now working out an average of 5 days per week, compared to last year where it was maybe 3 days per week if I was lucky and was able to motivate myself enough to workout even that much.
Before using OFv1 or v2, I used to have a lot of negative thoughts that would disrupt my normal way of thinking. I'd have these preconceived notions that everything I say was silently being judged and was always being taken negatively by whoever I'm talking to. As mentioned with socializing, negativity really isn't there anymore and I seem to not care nearly as much what people thought of what I say. Friendships with people at work have seemed to get a lot better over the last month.
