1. Do you typically wake up feeling optimistic?
I wake up in pain but feeling optimistic that it will get better if I get up and move around.
2. Do you pursue your passions?
Yes!
3. If your life was affected by covid19 lockdowns/restrictions how have you pursued your passions during the pandemic?
Like a few other people, I discovered during the pandemic that I make a very good hermit indeed. I like being alone, or with just my family "bubble" people. I continue training dogs and I got really into painting.
4. Is there a conversation you need to have with someone but you have avoided? Tell us the basic subject and your relationship to the person.
Oh... probably. See the bonus question for lacking of detail.
5. Fill in the blank. When my partner is around I feel _____ .
Good or bad, depending on how he's feeling. I pick up mood like sticktights.
Bonus: Are you living in reality or a fabricated fantasy?
C. I think the only way to make it through some days is firm denial. I faced a lot of stuff in therapy but now that we stopped going I think denial, blocking and distraction is fine.
