I painted a bedroom in my house and replaced all of the sockets and light switch with more updated ones. My older son helped and he learned a little about electrical work. He also learned that it takes patience to work on some things.

I'm still anxious but my depression is not as bad as it was a few weeks ago. I'm still low but not as low as I was a few weeks ago, so that's good news.

I guage my depression level based on the PHQ-9 score. I'm moderately severe as oppressed to severe.

Phq-9 is pretty reliable and there are lots of online versions where they score your answers without submitting anything to the server so your answers and score are completely private.

Though I still don't have motivation and negative thoughts continue. But the good news is that I'm taking better care of myself.

So a mix of good and not so good but I'll take any good I can get at this point.
