A Disappointing End of a Disappointing Year

2025 was not a fun year for me. Along with the constant repairs throughout the house, I ended up getting a new vehicle because my other vehicle was constantly having problems. And there were other issues that happened throughout the year I don’t talk about online. They include setbacks in my health and in my search for food without my food allergies. I was hoping the Christmas season would be the month when good things start to happen again, but I was wrong.

Looking to 2026, I feel a great sense of unease and concern. I am worried I will need to look for a new job. The area where I live looks like it is struggling economically. This could make jobs harder to find and come by. I’m also worried about my relatives and how they are doing financially. I’m also worried about their health. I’m worried about my health (specifically my food allergies). I’m worried about what will happen to my friends, their families, and their jobs. I’m worried about so many things that it is hard to be grateful or optimistic for the new year.

Even though I’m really disappointed and my anxiety is pretty bad right now, I’m trying to remind myself of things I’m excited for in 2026. One of them is I’m alive another year. Another is I now know what my food allergies are and can pursue purchasing and eating food without my allergies in them. Another is my home is in better shape than it was in 2025 and I have a vehicle that works and doesn’t malfunction like the old one.

I have many things I can be excited and happy for. I just need to remember to focus on them instead of all the fear an uncertainty I have about the future. It helps my anxiety and makes me more motivated to keep going.

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
