Today I said enough was enough and I decided to pick myself up and try to get out from under this depression. I got cleaned up, went outside for the first time in 2 weeks, got some healthy groceries, made myself something for lunch, and I am currently drinking some sleepy time tea while I make this bread dough I am gonna ferment over night before I make it into fried garlic knots. I may not be back to normal yet and it may not be a big deal to anyone but I am really proud of myself for recognizing I had an issue and then showing myself enough compassion to try and make a positive change. Normally id just give up and let my life burn, but for some reason I went the other way. And for that I am truly grateful.
