Ups and Downs of Friend-en-dom
With this whole disorder relapse thing, it’s been a rollercoaster. It’s been 3 months, and I can finally say that I’m getting better. :veryhappy: I’m stronger, my energy is getting better, and I don’t dread waking up anymore. 
Throughout this whole thing, I’ve been able to separate the friends from the real friends. I’ve realized most good and stabile relationships have a balance between the giving and taking. And this was the one time where I really needed some of the ‘giving.’
Even though I kinda sabotaged myself and didn’t let on to how much pain I was in, there were some kids who could see through it and let me know they were there for me. Others, I told, thinking that I could automatically get some extra care and kindness, and I received nothing. And then there was the other side: the ones who I did tell, and let me know they were there for me. 
I cleaned up my room and desk today. I also put away my laundry. 
Something I haven’t been able to do since November. :hopeful:

It’s funny when you do everything for people, and then when you need the help and you need the support people just kind of ignore it. That’s always how you tell the good friends vs. the bad friends. Giving and taking has to be 50/50. If you always help people and they don’t help you, that’s not a real friendship. It works the same way in relationships. I’m happy you’re starting to feel better :hopeful: I’ve been keeping you in my prayers. :veryhappy: Yay for not dreading waking up anymore!

It is quite sad when you realize some people just weren’t as good of friends as you thought they were. At least you find out the people who truly matter the most through all of this.
lol, I haven’t done my laundry in… 2 weeks, and I’ve certainly been able to :sleep:
On a sidenote, would you like me to upgrade your Wordpress installation for you? (I can do it automatically through my Cpanel.) It’s only “safe” for me to do it if…
Upgrade only if
- no files, languages, themes have been modified
- you haven’t added mods to this installation of WordPress
Info: Your current installation will be backed up.
You can upgrade if you’ve made your own theme (just tested it on At0mica.net ;)), just not if you’ve, say, made swiss cheese out of your config.php file or the like. Just wanted to ask, because they’ve addressed some security measures and such… anyways, let me know
