So my depression is bloody awful at the moment. I am not working, getting out of bed, washing and cleaning the house are all hard work and I am going on the holiday of a lifetime next week and struggle to smile about it
BUT I wondered if anyone else wanted to join me in a thread about something you did well everyday. Even if it’s the smallest thing like take the rubbish out, when suffering we all know how hard anything can be!
So today I went and played my favourite sport. I have avoided it for the past 3 weeks and all day I lay in bed and tried to get myself to go whilst another part of my brain told me not to.
So finally I got out of bed, had a wash and found the clothes. All the time I wanted to cancel.
Drove to the activity and still sat in my car thinking I could just go home.
Finally went in and did the activity and had a great time. For the next hour I wasn’t the woman with depression I was just someone playing sport. I walked out with a huge smile and when I came home even managed to tidy my living room with my new found energy.
So anyone else want to share their daily win? However small, putting the rubbish out, going for a walk, even if it’s jusy getting out of bed and having a shower (everyone else with depression understands how hard the smallest task is!)
Now I’m going to spend a little bit of time being happy I went and had a great time!
