I've read it's a common symptom of depression to feel like there's no point to anything, and thinking like this has really plagued me.. I've recently realized I need to turn these thoughts around if I want to move forward!
So, to convince myself, I feel I need to share.. There IS a point to eating well. It's so I don't get ill, don't have to spend all my time in pain, so that I can do things I enjoy and WANT to do.. And there IS a point to sleeping well. It's so I'm not tired all the time, close to falling asleep all day long, so I again don't get ill, so I'll feel rested and again, am able to do the things I love, so my brain can rest and I'll be able to function..
These two self-care habits are the ones I'm struggling with the most, so I'm going to focus on them. This also shows me that I don't have to change my
whole life all at once! That's not possible. I'll focus on what's most pressing now and will give myself a break otherwise.. That's part of caring for myself, too
