Below is a draft post from 2009 that I didn't realize I had saved as a draft. It was three months after moving to Odessa, Texas, to stay employed as something more than a C-store clerk in the middle of the Great Recession.
Free-flating (sic) anxiety still running in my head.
Did some fairly serious "picking" this afternoon.
(I never did "cutting," but, picking at my fingernails down to the quick, then, picking at the skin until it bleeds, or a hangnail bleeds? Yes.)
That's it.
But, I wanted to think about that more.
The fingernail deep picking I had identified as cutting by that time already. Do I have other such behaviors today, though?
Free-floating anxiety I still have, though less than 10 years ago for sure, and I think less than five years ago. Continuing sober life, continuing acceptance of the dailyness of life and continued aging, to be honest, are probably all factors.
