I'm glad the service was good Nammu and that you had a chance to catch up with your family.

I'm still feeling low and anxious. My mother has anxiety too but she has specific triggers. I don't have any triggers I'm anxious all the time. She couldn't understand that when we spoke about it. She had a hard time understanding that my anxiety is present all the time except for around noon when I get a break for an hour.

My relationship with my thoughts is slowly improving. I think I'm getting used to them and trying not to acknowledge them. They're still present but I guess I'm getting better at dealing with them.

Depression is a pain

I'm still going to the gym and challenging myself. I'm not motivated to go but I have reminders on my phone to keep me on schedule. My trainer says I'm doing alright for my age. It's my birthday next Friday. We're planning to go out for dinner with my mother.
