Just got back from my work trip. It went pretty well. I isolated some of the time between sessions, but also challenged myself to be social and go out with people. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually felt better most of the time. My depression has had me isolating and that is just a terrible cycle. I think the idea of doing things anyway, including self care and socializing, is super important. My brain is not going to believe it's ready or imagine it going well in that state, so I just have to do it anyways. Dang sometimes I just wish I could trade it in for a new one haha.

Feeling a bit low and anxious now, but hopefully will feel better after some rest. Tomorrow I have therapy. I hope we can decide on some things for me to work on in additional to the mindfulness packet. I am working on trusting this therapist. I have only seen her a few times, but I like her and think it could work out pretty well. In the past I had some experiences (not with therapists) that have made it more difficult for me to trust and so I am a bit guarded. In the afternoon I have plans with a friend which will be fun.
