So I started therapy in July, and then broke up with my live-in boyfriend in August. And then depression hit. I was already in therapy for other issues and this complicated things majorly! The chaos in my life had not settled until.. NOW!
 I moved into my new apartment. I am living on my own for the first time. Finally there is not TONS of tension at every FOOTSTEP, unless my cat is in a bad mood!  I forgot that my depression was temporary.. I forgot that this is what I was waiting for. I forgot that things would be better when I finally got out of the hellhole of absolute chaos! Now my life is MINE to control!!!Since I've lived on my own, I have already started doing all the things I was struggling with before, and I have only been here four days! - settling into a self-care routine again! - eating regularly - eating healthy things - keeping the house clean - sleeping full nights! - keeping a regular sleep schedule - feeling alive! I was waiting for this.. I am waking up.. NOW I'll be ready to do the real work in therapy!!! T will be so happy!

Great and uplifting post, jexa!! I am so happy for you that you are feeling so free and so good!
P.S. Maybe the cat needs a T?

Yeah!
Living on one's own can be so relieving. I moved into my own apartment this last fall and it was freeing. Just make sure that you don't isolate. Congrats.

Thanks everyone!! And haha Echoes, my cat could use a T.
I wonder what her diagnosis would be? googley -- you're right about not isolating. Thing is, I came into T to try to work on social anxiety (among other things), so I was isolating before anyway! The temptation is there to be a total recluse, but that's what I'm going to work on in T... I need friends SO bad. Anyway, I'm sure this is going to last.. even if I have a down day or two, I'm determined to keep up with eating healthily and the self-care routine!

Congrats! Also, don't get down on yourself if you have to let something slip once in a while. My housecleaning has fallen behind a little lately and I've been really stressing myself out about it. But it's not the worst thing that could happen, and I need to keep reminding myself of that. Congratulations and good luck!
