I’m okay this morning, not feeling anxious, and my depression doesn’t feel as severe as it was the last few days. Part of that is probably because I enjoyed lunch at Olive Garden plus shopping at Bargain Hunt with my cousin and her husband. I don’t get out much except for church because of moderate agoraphobia so I was proud of myself. I talk to my therapist via Zoom at 9:30. I want to discuss my finances and my emotional spending. I’ve never worked with anyone on this, and I really need to do better. I am on disability so my income is fixed. I pay my bills on time, but I spend the rest on unnecessary things, things I convince myself I desperately need. What happens then is I don’t have the money for emergencies. I have a savings account, but there’s only $5 in it. I think if I can get to the root of my emotional need to spend, I’ll be in a better place financially.

I hope everyone is having a good day.
