Proud of myself

I have bipolar. I've been in the depressive phase for about a year, hospitalized once, which was awful.

Today I painted my son's bedroom ceiling. I still have to do the walls tomorrow. But this is huge for me. For ages I haven't been able to do more than the bare minimum for everything. Today I managed four coats. I even put dinner in the slow cooker so we'll eat properly too.
