Today we are having about the most depressing weather (for me, at least) - dark, rainy, kinda cool, kinda hot, very humid. It is an energy-sapper. Still I am trying to look at the bright side- I have the day off work, I am managing to get some things done at home, and I am meeting a friend for lunch for a pedicure. Trying to do 'happy' things. Wish everything wasn't feeling so hard today...

Today has had more ups for a change. The only downs were an argument with my brother and a failed attempt at following a recipe. I got my eyes tested today. The optician said my sight hasn't changed much since last time which was three years ago. However, since my glasses are worn out, I was entitled to a free pair of glasses on the NHS. She suggested that I go for lenses that protect my eyes from the glare of a screen. So, I've picked out the new frames I want and chosen to take her advice and I should have my new glasses within a week. I also discovered that garlic sauce goes well with salad.

I'm very upset, I had an appointment with the case worker who did nothing but tell me to do what I was doing, just try to find something to do each day. That was at 4pm they called the driving service to pick me up and no one came, the buildings all around there close at 5pm, one of the last people out around 5:30 called again on his cell phone, they said again they were coming, at 6:15 the night man came on and tried to call but no one was answering so he drove me miles to my home and stated asking all kinds of questions about boyfriends, husbands and if I drink, smoke etc.......... I'm shaking now, I just got home 10 ministers ago, never again! I'm staying home, it's safer.

Why do I have this annoying tendency to overthink and worry about everything? Just can't stop thinking about my crush, who I kissed on the last Friday before finals week. I really like him and really hope something will come of it once school starts back up. But I'm so worried that I'll just get hurt again and get my hopes up for a whole bunch of nothing.

I don't have 'friend'. Stop telling me to go out and hang out with people. I like to do stuff alone and be in my room.

Only good thing, in the dreams I stand up for myself

How strange it feels to be... out of the depressive episode. Been sleeping well, been managing my obsessions over food well, haven't self harmed in a while, been walking my dogs, been dealing with life overall just... fine. Depression still looms somewhere in my mind, but it's not as dark as it was. I finished the semester with three B's and an A. Which is an accomplishment, considering the fact that for half the semester I was so lost in my eating disorder that I was unable to concentrate on drawing a straight line - let alone on learning. Next semester, I'm going to do better. I'm not going to let anything get in my way. I'm aiming for A's. But B's are good, too. As long as I'm passing. And I did pass. So, I should be proud. I'm a little upset with myself for ditching the last day because of a presentation, but I managed a B even in that course. All in all, things are slowly looking up. I'm still isolated, but maybe I can pull myself out of that, even. Baby steps. One thing at a time.

Today for some reason, I just haven't been able to get the ball rolling. It's just like I've been stuck doing nothing all day, like my motivation just dissipated into the air. Anyone else find this happens in depression?

Been feeling weak and yucky since Tuesday and when my physical health is bad, my mental health gets even worse... I just want to be able to leave the house but I can't even do that.

So far; so good. That could be because I haven't spoken to anyone yet Busy day with responsibilities I don't want to have anymore.

Ugh...depressed....really wish I would have thought a lot more through in my life...I can't seem to stop looking back (that's depressing)...at least I'm not anxious (which results from looking too far forward for me)...Just very tired of being in this mild depression, which today was exacerbated by a dream that saddened me very much...

I understand thei looking back, it's all I seem to do right now, look back and see how far I've not come, and compare before and after my illness.

Feeling agitated. I have a lot to do today but I don't know if I can even do any of it. I feel really lonely and so sad and I just want some relief from the depression. Today is definitely not a good day so far.
