Surviving and thriving

[fightin]

Hi, all! Just stopping by because it has been a while. Overall I'm doing well. I haven't talked to the XW in months. I still see her son some, though not as often as I was. My other stepkiddos are in town right now so it is awesome that I'm getting some time with them. I am actively looking for a job in my hometown so I won't have to commute anymore. I finally moved out from my house that I own with my ex, we are trying to sell it, but not even a little bit of interest yet so that stinks. I am loving being on my own though. I literally have never lived alone my entire life and I'm loving it!

I've been struggling a bit with depression lately, but I'm aware of it and doing things to help and working towards getting back out of that hole. I don't know if it is because I don't have many distractions or what, but I literally was aware of the entire process of knowing when I was getting depressed and actively doing things to remedy it. I have never been so aware before. I usually just end up miserable and unsure as how I ended up there, but this time I was able to work on it before it got bad so that's a plus.

Anyway, just wanted to stop by and catch up. I hope everyone is doing well.
