  • even if I just slightly feel like one dislikes me a little

    This line stuck out to me because of what I’m currently working through. I have no idea if we share this issue, so please take this with a grain of salt. Is it possible you struggle with people pleasing? If you perceive yourself to only have value when others are pleased with you, someone being displeased with you hits like a freight train. When someone gets mad at me on the road, even if it’s not my fault, I can’t stop thinking about it for MONTHS. It made me cry a lot as a boy. I don’t think this accounts for all of what you’re talking about, but it could be a piece of it.


  • When getting ready for the day, I put everything I’m going to use on the bathroom counter and put things away as I use each item, that way I don’t forget to do something.

    I check the mail and take out the trash / pull the bins up every day when I get home from work. I used to forget often, but making it a “do it every time” thing has made it a no-brainer.

    I keep a reusable water bottle on my night stand, in the kitchen, in my car, and on my desk at work. I can’t be bothered to carry a water bottle everywhere, so I have them everywhere. I do almost the same thing with phone chargers.
