Trying to find a new place to rent and being denied again and again for having low credit is honestly a radicalizing experience, and idk how anyone can come out of that battle wanting to be a landlord themselves. Every single landlord should be tortured and killed slowly. I am seriously not kidding.

Realistic Self-Talk
This too shall pass & my life will be better.
I am a worthy and good person. 
I am doing the best I can, given my history and level of current awareness.
Like everyone else, I am a fallible person and at times will make mistakes and am committed to learning from them.
What is, is.
Look at how much I have accomplished, and I am still progressing.
There are no failures, only different degrees of success.
Be honest and true to myself.
It is OK to let myself be distressed for awhile.
I am not helpless. I can and will take the steps needed to get through during crisis. 
I will remain engaged and involved instead of isolating and withdrawing during this situation.
This is an opportunity, instead of a threat. I will use this experience to learn something new, to change my direction, and/or to try a new approach. 
Other people are responsible for their reactions to me. 
I can stand anything for a while because I am resilient. 
In the long run, who will remember or care? 
I see all things through the eyes of compassion.

you naturally grow out of a lot of unhealthy habits and I think that something that seeing obsessive self improvement culture in the early twenties crowd makes me sad about like. you will start to drink less as your world changes, you will get better at habits as your world stabilizes. your sense of self will solidify as you make mistakes waste time and figure out what works for you and what does not thru your own bodies rejection of it. you’ll be called to sleep earlier and wake sooner and to move your body bc it won’t bounce back with out stretching it out first like there are reasons older people are more regimented bc they don’t need to experiment as much anymore to find out what’s functional. It’s not 1 size fits all

falling back into patterns and behaviours you thought you'd worked to overcome doesn't mean you've lost all your progress.
changing things we've been doing our whole lives takes time and it's perfectly fine if that's hard sometimes.
infact, learning to overcome setbacks is a part of recovery.
