2 weeks ago I would have said pretty bad. I was struggling to get over a relationship full of lies and emotional manipulation, but after 2 weeks off work I'm feeling good. They have no power over me now, my mind and thoughts are clear and focussed.

Generally happy. My work gives me a lot of free time to pursue my passions. Physical health is great because of that. Finances are in good order, family and friends are supportive, work is mostly good but could always be better.

I think finding a partner that is okay with my nerdy, quirky, but also active and knowledge seeking, environmental lifestyle would be great. I tend to be picky because of previous partners that deteriorated my mental health and became highly dependent on me, and would rather find happiness on my own and hope to find a partner that is already happy on their own as well. Which is hard to find but I'm not in any rush :)

Plus the app has helped me deal with self-doubt, since I don't have hea…

Struggling with Bell's palsy right now that came out of nowhere, so my mental health is understandably suffering too. Despite that, I'm thankful for the family and friends I have that support me no matter what. This too shall pass.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
