Topsy Turvy

Today was an emotional day. I started out having zero motivation, but I managed to clean my living room. Then I rested some more and my depressive symptoms worsened. I felt empty, alone, I ached inside, I felt miserable. But I had to go to the bank so I drove 20 minutes to the bank, and 20 minutes home. Second accomplishment of the day. My misery continued through out the day. I did everything I could to battle it. I called friends and talked about how I was feeling. I distracted myself from the emotional pain by putting laundry away. I ate my dinner slowly, paying attention to the taste and texture of the food I was eating. I did everything I could to distract from the depression. It must have worked because I am feeling better now. Still suffering from some mild symptoms but I'll take the improvement. It's a nice break. Let's hope tomorrow is a better day than today was.
