I have done it! Yes, it can be hard to fight depression, but when one uses the right tool, it can be done. (And "the right tool" is of course different for each one of us, because we have a different history, different genetic dispositions and different living conditions).


I will only have my lunch before I go for a walk!

Well, today so far has been so much better. Enjoyable as a matter of fact.

I never went for that walk and I didn't make dinner this day.

New chance to do it better tomorrow (I usually have other plans for Saturdays than for the weekdays, so I need to put all my strength in doing my work right).

It's difficult managing my emotions when I've also got someone close to me in bad brain space as well. I'm glad they have the insight to know they need help though.
I'm doing okay though. About to do some actual cooking, which I'm honestly really proud of. Not just ready meals for me !

I continue relieved to be out of that trough of depression. My mood is okay now. I got 5 things done today. I want to change bed linens and sort laundry tonight and shower.

My morning has started okay. I have a hope to be able to do my obligations for this day. I will start to pray more regularly as well.

@Buffy01 - I'm sorry your family is being hurtful toward you. They should be a source of caring and support, not a source of pain.


I'm feeling great today. I have a To-Do list that I will attack with gusto.

I have some Spag bol on the hob right now. Today is the second day in the row I'm actually cooking.
I'm so proud of myself. I know it's stupid and it's only cooking but, it's something I dearly miss. Not the usual pizzas or ready meals "cook in 5 mins pasta or rice". Actual from scratch cooking.
I'm finding cooking really cathartic, and I really hope I can keep it up.

I made my day. Everything was not perfect, but I took the fights against hinders (inner end outer) that passed on my way. I am well pleased with my doings this day!

I am grateful for the way I made it through the past week. I had a number of challenges at work and home. I handled each one as best I could and tried to keep from judging myself or thinking too far in the future. I hope I can continue to do that.

Today I am sad! Even if I had good intentions, I have not been able to do my cooking today. I have felt down and full if negative thoughts and anxiety as well.

"It's because you didn't follow your own advise: STICK TO THE SCHEDULE!", I tell myself. I sat up too long yesterday before I found my bed in the middle of the night.

I took a break RIGHT NOW, and read my notes. I will start using my plans again from tomorrow. It's a promise from me to me! (The flower from me to me is for finding a solutions quickly. I deserve it).

However, once the strike ends we will have to start working through the backlog, which will keep us extremely busy for at least several weeks.
Not a bad plan to try out .
