I did okay most of today, but am struggling this evening. The day was okay: work meeting went well, did some laundry (didn't put it away though), walked on my walking pad, prayed, read a tiny bit, went for a drive, got a few things done, watched some tv. TW food talk

Possible trigger:

Then, the super small task of microwaving dinner and having to do my dishes from today somehow put me over the edge...Somehow, my brain thought SI was a better option than microwaving a meal and doing dishes I did eat so that's good. Dinner continues to be a meal that's very hard for me mentally and physically handle.

Ever since this food thing, I've been super irritable and had SI. And, getting up and ready for my 8:30 am zoom meeting feels like an impossible task. I need to go to bed at a decent time, but I don't want to because I don't want to have to deal with how hard it will be to get out of bed in the morning. How the heck can something so small have such a big impact on my mood?
