A Better Alex, stage 2: ASC Journal

[apollolux]

Hm. Yesterday morning my neighbor and I had an argument about the living arrangement we currently have, and I felt myself reverting to old self-preservation behaviors to convince him I'm actually pulling my weight. My goal was to remain calm and present my arguments logically but in practice felt a lot of emotion instead as I perceived it to be a personal attack as if I'm doing absolutely nothing and making no effort at all.

I switched to EHPRA in January so that I could run it for 32 days with minimal human interaction and avoid people while I dealt with the extreme emotion that would come, and switched back Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. I'll document a summary accounting of those 32 days soon.
