I'm working on finishing up a writing project this month that, if I succeed, I'll have been working on for 3 years. It'll never be published or shown to anyone, it's just a part of my recovery process and it's been taking forever/I've avoided it a lot.

Every time I do a chunk of it, I feel better, but I also feel so drained I'm kind of useless for a day or so. It's just...I don't quite know what to say other than "hard work is hard" I guess. It's worth it but still.
