I had a lovely day out with friends but struggled to get any enjoyment out of it, and to focus on the moment (very brainfoggy). Made me realise Iâm further down the depression path then I thought. Iâve had a few big stressful things going on that have made me anxious and down. But itâs gone beyond external - havenât felt this disconnected and âŚgrey⌠for a long time. I came home and went straight to bed - just felt completely overwhelmed. Have managed to make dinner finally by putting on a podcast for company. And thatâs rice and dal so Iâll get lunch out of it too. I need to plan out my work week - itâs busy and I like to get ahead of it on sunday but Iâm just burned. No I canât realistically take a mental health day or three right now either (for reasons, trust me) So. this week I will: * Eat breakfast and lunch and at least a light dinner. I can boil an egg if needed * Sleep by 10pm and I will be out of bed by 6:30. If I can, go for a walk. If not, just stand outside for a few moments. * keep cutting back on sugar and lay off the alcohol for the week - neither help * Take meds and add in a multivitamin (I have a half a container I bought when I was getting over the flu). god, that sounds exhausting. And I need to realise it is exhausting - so I will use my âspoonsâ for food, washing, sleeping, moving. And the work I have to do. Thatâs going to be it this week. Iâm going to post here to try to keep track. Hopefully itâs just from stress/burnout and I can get back out of the hole with a couple of weeks of care.

Thanks mate.
Hopefully you have enough spoons to get back on track. Iâm cheering you on!
â¤ď¸ having little sancuaries of friendliness on the internets makes a big difference. thanks
Right there with you. Every small act of self care adds up
Iâm joining you with the getting up on time bit. I notice Iâve been feeling quite empty lately, most probably due to list of life events.

I might join you⌠Iâm pretty good with having breakfast/dinner after 20 years of being inconsistent with either. But I have a habit of coming home from work, eating dinner on the couch and then not moving from there until I go to bed. I have almost no friends in Melbourne so I spend my weekends doing much the same.
Youâve got this! đ
