So my last week was pretty bad. even worse than the one before. i didnt find any chance to practive self care, and stress just grew more and more. im probably in a depressive episode by now aswell, which seriously impacts my rather healthy social life, since my anxiety is now on rampage. this is double bad since there are many events, and social things i would like to do. i spend the weekend to accept that i have to drop all of those plans and focus on my mental health. hope you week have been better.
oh i kinda want to make a personal goal aswell. my personal goal is to catch up on my chores as much as i can and then reward myself with well earned alone time, and be aware that this is a good thing, and i am allowed to be a little goblin in my little cave form time to time ^^
No worries about the delay, life happens. I'm sorry to hear that your week didn't go as well as you'd would've hoped, this happens to all of us from time unfortunately . I like the steps you're taking to make things better, so I hope you're healing with the self-care practises and such.
How are you coming along with the chores? I think it's great that you set up a reward system for doing them. I like using this strategy myself when I remember to use it. You're right, you deserve to just be, take care!
okay-ish. i thankfully got some support at home. my job wears me out, but i still got a bit stuff done today, and even went to the gym again. its all not easy, but times like these need self care and awarenes and acceptance. thanks for checking in :)
Glad to hear about your progress and the support you've been lent!
Every little bit counts and it shows, you're getting there in spite of the challenges you face. So, so true. You're welcome 😊
