UPDATE #2:
This morning I started the day writing in my journal again. I haven't noticed how much it really helps until recently because I've been mostly writing my fiction stories.
Today I hope to walk and read, then also have breakfast planned with my husband and we'll be discussing finances. It usually stresses me, looking at all the debt and bills, but I'm going to remember things work out for the best and for a reason.
Last night I took the time to schedule out my week according to my social needs. I think being around people helps me with depression and anxiety, though people often annoy me. lol. I do have a lunch date planned with a good friend and supporter of my writing and a playdate planned with a relative and her sons for my daughter and so I'll have some adult conversation of some kind. I hope this will help.
My main concern today is to set the week off to a great start by not being overly optimistic, but keeping a mindful reign on distractions and emotions in a healthy way. I'll be back to give an update later. I hope to be able to work up to being able to work on my fiction again, but my mind and body have to be in a good place to effectively do so. Thanks to all who are keeping up with this thread and your thoughts and encouragement. It means a lot.
