Seemingly random things I have now cried about in therapy: Not caring about wearing jewelry or makeup anymore (due to COVID and mostly being in the house). I used to carefully choose what (usually beaded) bracelets I'd wear. I'd always wear my wedding/engagement ring on my left hand plus some sort of ring on my right hand. Now no rings at all. Because if I'm just running out to get carryout, who cares? And I'd often wear necklaces of various types. I mentioned not bothering with makeup or doing anything to my hair anymore, too (also with tears). That it used to be stuff I cared about or had fun with. Dr. T said it sounded like a symptom of depression, which makes sense.

I hope I can get back to at least enjoying jewelry again once COVID is over. Or occasionally doing makeup, like for a date night or something, though if I don't care about wearing it for a trip to Target, that could be a positive development, I think (being less concerned about my appearance and what others think of me).

Oh, and I got a "Take care" at the end this time. Probably because we were talking about his time off for holidays (really just two 5-day weekends) and I was tearing up slightly.
