Just a little check in with myself. I wanna try and write more journal entries. Either on here or in my real life one. I feel it helps me and I don't do it enough. So anyway, how am I doing these days. I have to say in all honesty………not bad. Actually pretty good for a nice change. My mood has been better and I haven't been very irritable. Even my sleep has gotten better. I am still having a hard time getting the dishes done so they pile up and its disgusting. Also, I'm not proud to admit that I have only been showering once a week if I'm lucky and shaving is a joke. So on one hand I am feeling better, sleeping better but on the other hand I'm not taking care of things around the house or bathing regularly. Not sure what to make of it. Maybe still a little depressed? Also I eat like crap and haven't started exercising like I know I should. I know it would make me feel even better but I can't do it right now. Got more to write but I'll end it here for now.

Ok, I get it. You want to be PERFECT. No dice Pagan, none of us can be.
I wash dishes every 2 days, at the most. It\'s a boring job let\'s face it. I have resorted to paper plates. I know, I know...tacky. But hell unless someone gives me a dishwasher I\'m sticking w/them.
Yeah, I know what you mean about letting things go. I do it all of the time and I believe it is mild depression. This week I\'ve been able to do everything I need to. It\'s a rare event. But winter...getting cold...going to snow...winter makes me feel GREAT! I\'m alive damnit!! I can think clearly and no negative thoughts are tumbling around in my head. Maybe I should move to Alaska or at the very least Montana.
You sound like you\'re doing very well....keep it up Pagan!! I think you\'re on the right track!!
I am glad you\'re feeling good these days Pagan!
Thanks guys
So glad that you\'re feeling better :) I know what you mean about letting things go through. Sometimes my boyfriends and I\'s house looks emaculent and other times I don\'t clean it for a bit and it looks like a tornado hit it lol. But sometime we\'re just not in the mood to do that kind of stuff. Maybe talk to your t about this? I\'m glad that you\'re feeling better, keep on keepin\' on.
Thanks a bunch joneszy
One thing at a time big guy!! Feeling good is an amazing first step, and the one that will help all of the others come along. I\'m so happy for you! ((hugs))
Journalling more and getting support from your friends has to be a good thing right? Sounds like your head is in a good place but your body has yet to catch up and is still in depression. My place is a rubbish dump so I understand how you feel. I try to force myself to do one thing each day. Today I will clean the bathroom and tell myself what a good job I did even though its been disgusting for ages. Forgive yourself for not being perfect and don\'t beat yourself up.
I agree feeling good is an amazing first step..... the other things will follow..... thing are contradictory at times... pick up a little here and now.. again it\'s your improvement in mood that is the great achievement .. don\'t beat yourself up..... more like pat yourself on the back xx
