(no subject)
I don't know how to write here any more. I am depressed and anxious. Good stuff is happening - I started therapy this month for my personality disorder. Group therapy and individual therapy.
I've been doing stuff despite feeling awful a lot of the time. Sometimes it takes a few hours to get dressed and leave the flat. I have wanted to reach out to people, but I don't know how to do it apart from writing posts here and on twitter/Facebook. There have been times where it would have been useful to phone the Samaritans, but I haven't felt able to pick up the phone.
Today's positives:
I did some serious laundry which included doing some hot drying at the laundrette.
I went to the gym.
I ate really well today.
I made a difficult phonecall.
(It did take me until 3pm to get dressed though, and this is not because I was relaxed.)
I don't have SAD, but I do get depressed at this time of year. It's the build-up to Christmas. I'll be ok in January. Feel free to de-friend me if it is too depressing to read my journal. (I say this mostly to people who don't know me very well, I am not asking for reassurance from my real-life friends.)
