a time I felt like I was losing my mind

 The most memorable occasion where it felt like I was losing my mind was during October, 2023. The stresses of school and relationships were overwhelming me at that time, and while I had been doing poor mentally for a long time it certainly got a lot worse that October. I remember waking up each morning with this horrible feeling of dread. It didn't help either that on my walks to and from school I would encounter this one hawk quite frequently, as it began to feel like life was teasing me somehow. At some point I wholeheartedly believed that something terrible was going to happen to me by the end of the month, and the hawk was this omen for it.

Today in class we read The Yellow Wallpaper. I enjoyed the book, and although it was a bit hard to follow I thought it was entertaining.

Today in class we finished our one-pager assignments. I'm pretty happy with how mine turned out, it looks pretty accurate to the layout that I had in mind. I did see another student draw a phoenix on their assignment though, and I kinda regret choosing the sun because the phoenix is way cooler.

I liked today's lesson because I'm more aware of gender roles than I am of my family history or my ethnic culture. Especially because I am a more masculine presenting woman who is attracted to other women. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today, but for lunch we were served cheese rippers which are my favorite!
