June: 263
July: 315

Last month was my birthday month, a month which has been giving me lots of anxiety the last few years. It’ll probably be a few years more before I unpack why. In the meantime, I have a new job at a Tech Support center which I’ve been enjoying tremendously. Being able to focus on developing healthy morning routines without the strain of everything going on at the last job has proven to be very helpful.

The call volume at the new job is very low, and by starting as a T1, there’s very little pressure to solve everyone’s problems. If things are too complicated, I have a group chat to ask for help from and if the problem is out of scope, I can hand it off to the T2s. Its all very procedural and very relaxing. I’ve been enjoying shadowing different technicians and am looking forward to getting started taking calls for myself next week.

Mood & Activity tracking has been going well. In June I experienced some significant lifestyle changes, and I’ve watched the numbers fluctuate and then adjust back again in July. The ability to watch myself go through these transitions helps dramatically with what previously felt like an incomprehensible cycle. I’m enjoying the new perspective of viewing myself more clearly over time. My mood is in a very good place currently, and I’ve noticed even in situations where I’m feeling overwhelmed or particularly anxious or upset, I tend not to experience those catastrophic collapses in mental state that I did over the last several years.

It feels a lot like growth and it makes me happy.
