/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Have been doing really well with spending sensibly (compared to the beginning of this year, when aside from relapsing in my ED and having to start treatment again I'd relapsed into compulsive shopping) but just had a week-long nosedive and thought I'd buy a somewhat overpriced dream dress off Mercari to try and force some endorphins into my system. I've had a pretty good year in the balance (graduated summa cum laude and got a prestigious post-graduate opportunity) but recent extended family stresses, hitting my first treatment goal BMI, and realising my recreational drug use may be a bit more habitual than I wanted to admit has made the last few weeks kind of hard. Makes sense that I'd feel morally compelled to give up my chemical stress-relievers just at the most stressful point of the year so far, very on-brand.

>my pakidge will fix it all though...

Man I just really love lolita. Been padding out my wardrobe over lockdown and I can't wait until it's properly summer and warm so I can wear it to the park every day.
