It’s been a while. So, how are things?

I haven't really had any issues since the surgery to remove my gallbladder. I have gained a little weight and that annoys me. I am a 48-year-old, slightly overweight gay guy. NO one is going to want me. Even if I am looking much better than I used to be. My mental health is under control. Other than that, things are all right. However, I am a very lonely person.

I hope everyone is doing well. I am doing all right. I had a depression spell that lasted for a couple of weeks. I am now coming out of it. My mind is returning to normal. It's hard to explain. When I get that depressed, my mind goes to my dark place, and I withdraw from people. I had to explain that to my supervisor today. She understood.

Still Proud of the Weight Loss

If I got off my ass, I could lose more weight. But here again in the picture of me in July of 2022 and then a picture of me in December of 2022 showing how much weight I lost. Sighhhhhh.
