I didn't want to update my streak, 50 sounds bland. 

I should've left it on 47, I like that number.

And, for a high-impact low-effort way to flesh out that connection pillar, consider joining the vaad.
Definitely also talk to some of those people. 

Bland?? 50 days bland?? Yosef, are you serious?! Five-zero holy days FIFTY!! not some random number on a clock. Every single one of those days is packed with fire, with wins, with gevurah!! You didn’t just sit there, you fought through pain, through urges, through the hardest tests — and you came out standing taller than ever. 47 is cute, but 50? That’s a crown of victory. In my humble eyes, you’re not just winning streaks, you’re rewriting what it means to be strong. You're a living proof!!

And seriously… if 50 looks bland to you, I don’t even know what to say. by 75 you’ll say, ‘Meh, could’ve been 73

At this rate, by the time you hit 100, you’ll probably complain the number is too round!

Yosef, hope the wedding could change your mood to Simcha and from there things should start going uphill, after all Hashem sees that you're truly going out of the way and he will for sure repay you, just sometimes it takes a bit longer... please don't lose your patience

remember that Yom Hachipa is like Yom Kipur to all family members so what a special day... you have the privilege to ask from Hashem anything special, so please have all your GYE friends in mind too.

Reb Yosef if you have a Rebbe who can keep a check on you so you don't jump off the deep end I would say move far far away across an ocean if you have to. Don't take the abuse.
