Volunteered at a benefit tonight with a friend. It felt great to help someone out and I enjoyed hanging out with my friend, too. I am going to try to volunteer more often. Since I have been feeling bad about past events and thinking I am a bad person, helping others out is also helpful to me because it reminds me that I do indeed care.

Did a bit of cleaning and bought some new kitchen supplies today. I am trying to make it a nice place to cook so I will be encouraged to make meals at home. This year is all about the self care and building good habits I should have built 10 years ago haha. I need that solid foundation to fall back on when life gets tough or my mental heath is poor. I feel pretty driven with the increased energy I have had the past week or so, and just want to cross everything off my list. Also a little bit irritable, but nothing like before so I am not worried, it's manageable.
