Today I made it out and did things to make me happy, I truly fought my depression, it wasn't esay but I did it, because untill I get back on with a regualr doctor I really am my only hlep. I think it's pretty okay to give myself a pat on the back for doing laundry, getting myslef some essentails, finished a latch hook project and now have given in to Criminal Minds for the day.

I think this is fantastic! Getting the motivation going is so hard-but some treats are so reliable-enjoy TV Youtube music luxury food whatever turns your frown upside down! xxx

I'm proud of you. Now you just need to make this a habit! Some say it takes 21 to 60 days to form a habit. You're on the road to happiness. The right path! Keep this up. And when you slip up, just start from where you left off. Don't be hard on yourself. Congrats again!!

You are so allowed to pat yourself on the back, a major pat on the back!!! Its not always possible to get in with our Pdocs/Tdocs right away, so sometimes we have to take care of ourselves. Being an active part of your Mental Healthcare at all times should be a priority for all of us. Its our brains, our bodies, as with any disease taking care of ourselves along with our Dr.'s taking care of us, is how we manage.

Keep on this track, tell yourself each day that you're doing well and you can help yourself. Small steady steps, you don't have to overcome huge hurdles to win the race.
