Fresh start?

I haven't been on here for a while. I have been making progress but things are still incredibly difficult right now. I am swamped with grad school and trying to get a handle on my mental health. I am past the point of feeling numb, but I am only just starting to really feel my emotions again and I am learning how to manage them. My goal right now is to work on discovering things I enjoy. I have been in a pretty big slump and putting all my time and energy into grad school but burning myself out in doing so. Not quite sure what it is I am looking for, but I want to find more things that feed my soul. To start off I did some simple self care things. I took a shower, started in on that mountain of laundry I need to get done, and worked on getting my new room set up. Additionally, I made the decision to get rid of all of my dating apps. It scares me because there isn't really a gay community in my area, but trying to meet girls right now has only been adding to my stress. I want to work on making myself happier before I try to share my life with someone else. Instead of isolating I have been pushing myself to spend more time with friends/out in public places when I'm studying. Small steps so far, but I hope to keep the progress coming. Hopefully using this site as an outlet for my thoughts and feelings will help too, I forgot how good it can feel to type everything out. My biggest challenge right now will be keeping my head up for the two weeks that I can't see my therapist... wish me luck!!
