Hi Jesse, 

I started journaling years ago and it truly helped me put my life in order. I am battling alcoholism,  depression and anxiety and the best thing for me was to write down my thoughts then go back at a later date and read what I had written. This way you can see any changes you have made without even realizing you made them. I hope this helps you to see your strengths not the weaknesses we all tend to see in ourselves first. 

Take care of you first.

@Sweetjessie28 Hey Jessie, it sounds like you've been through a lot. Try not to be critical of yourself, you sound like an incredibly brave person who has a lot to offer the world. This is a difficult time for us all, but we will all come through it okay if we stick together.  Like @Lwoydelko‍ said, maybe take this time to reflect, or journal, or just work through your thoughts and your dreams for your life. Just putting thoughts into words can help you process them and by the time this coronavirus stuff is over I think you'll have an idea of who you are and what you want to accomplish.
