Am still depressed but trying to have a new outlook on life: any activity I do outside of my comfortable but unhealthy zone is a small victory, especially leaving the house and being around people. For example, I went on a mile walk with my dogs and husband this morning and am doing a load of laundry, watered the plants. These are all small victories that I shouldn't discount. My comfort zone is being on the internet and watching t.v. Also, I am keeping myself alive and out of bed as long as possible (don't ever do that during the daytime). So, small victories at this point in my mental health journey. Actually, keeping myself alive is a HUGE victory in the scheme of things. And I must try not to beat myself up too much during those times I stay in the unhealthy comfort zone for too long. Does me no good. Have to accept that sometimes, more often than I want, the depression wins.
