I’m posting this to reinforce for myself that even though I don’t feel good right now (general depression gloom) I did some good things for myself today.
I did the dishes during my lunch break from work (working from home).
I took a walk after I ate dinner and listened to the latest episode of Phoebe Reads a Mystery (podcast).
I watched tv for a bit when I got home, but felt distracted and edgy so I put on a restorative yoga class from YouTube and did about 50 minutes of gentle, supported yoga.
I made myself a mug cake for a treat.
It’s okay that I don’t want to do some of my other self care or hobbies today, I did a lot. I have a tendency to get down on myself for not doing things that are good for me. But this is a reminder that I have taken care of myself and I can rest. I don’t have to knit or journal today. #Depression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Anxiety #Selfcare #low self worth #r #MentalHealth
