I guess a lot has happened for me too. I got my driver's licence and graduated from university, but I haven't found a job yet and I'm dreading any interviews I may have to take to get one. The news in America has also thrown a spanner in the works of my plans to move there to be with my partner, we're now considering moving him here instead. I'm still living with my dad and (abusive) mum, so that's been pretty stressful, I can't afford therapy without a job and there don't seem to be any psychologists left that accept the healthcare plans that used to make it completely free. I try to keep to myself and be aware of my own needs but it often doesn't seem like I'm allowed to take care of myself when living with my parents, due to the demands they make on my time and energy. I had a good Halloween though, got to hand out candy for the first time ever, hoping one day I'll even be able to go trick-or-treating! I am looking forward to a few things as the end of the year approaches, my sister is coming to visit for a bit, and I get to see my partner at the end of the year. Even though flying makes me terribly nervous and I think my anxiety has been getting worse.

I've experienced the same thing. I miss it sometimes.

Dr Phil is also no longer legally a doctor.

Recently been trying to introduce my partner to Doctor Who while he's staying in Australia. All the episodes used to be up on BritBox because it's a British show, but they dropped it earlier this year. Now the options are:

Binge (season 4+)

Amazon Prime (season 5+)

Stan (all new seasons, but also the only streaming service I don't have access to)

Disney+ (only 3 movie-length specials)

If I've been talking for more than a minute I assume they're bored. I never know how to answer this.

I hate it. Anyone one mine? I'd gladly donate it all away.
