They always say don't apologize for not writing in your blog, but I feel bad it's been so long!
I've been going through some ups and downs lately, mainly felt anxious for a while, and then went through some depression as well.
But guess what? I only missed one day of work, so it was a very successful week or too of depression and anxiety.
I firmly believe it was because I forced myself to stick to a schedule, and kept up with my list making (I bought a planner a few months ago that I have been using to make my list/schedule).
I forced myself to get up every morning, do yoga, eat, and shower, and I took my anxiety medicine when I needed it. I get stubborn about taking my anxiety medicine sometimes, it makes me feel like I'm failing or something. But this time I told myself it was okay to take it, that's what it's there for.
While I was in my depression it was hard to see how well I was actually doing all things considered. Once I started feeling better, I was able to give myself a pat on the back and allow myself to be proud of how well I did. I was especially proud that I was able to go to work pretty much the whole time. I didn't even have to cut short any of my shifts which was really good. To be honest going to work seemed to help, because I felt accomplished after my shift was over.
I have been feeling much better now, and I was glad that I was able to enjoy my vacation at cedar point last weekend.
I am also excited for fall weather :)
