If you are listening to this and you feel like you're stuck, what I mean by that is like fucking go out into the world and figure out what kind of options there are for you. It's a big fucking deal. Build on that momentum and keep trying to figure out, okay, how did I put together these five days? How do I feel different? What did I do differently? How can I make five days, six days, right? And just building on it and layering on different coping skills and different boundaries and shedding people and shedding places and things. It's an adjustment for sure. It can be uncomfortable, but in the long run, it feels so cleansing.
