Hey, thank you for your support. <3 (Want some cookies?)

My friends and family are being extremely supportive about the clean break. I was expecting a lot more "so... you're just doing nothing now?" but apparently my struggle was more visible than I thought and I've only gotten "oh that'll be such a great break!" sort of comments. Which makes me feel very lucky.

I'm worried about how long it'll take to get disability and eating through my entire savings in the meanwhile.
