In 2018 I did a project where I mapped my mood using color every day, all year. I stole the idea from Bullet Journalers who usually use more traditional materials, but I chose to do it digitally (in Illustrator) so I could perfectly select the color palette from a photo of a sunset (and also that’s my most comfortable medium). I hoped that by doing this I would gain some insight into my feelings at best, and at worst just make something really pretty to look at. As a depressed and anxiety ridden person of 21 years, I was surprised to see that my moods tend to be more positive than I ever would have guessed. My two most charted feelings were a tie between content and lethargic/sick/blah (which I can chalk up to my various health issues and gloomy disposition). There were only two days where I felt my worst (depressed/hopeless) and didn’t know if it was worth it to go on. My 13 year old self would be SHOOK. September proved to be my happiest month, while February was the most difficult, which seems reasonable, but I was surprised to see November falling second as my best month. This year I will be carrying out this project again, but adding to it a marker of my ~*monthly cycle*~ to see what effect that may have. Either, it seems the meds are working 👍🏼 . . . . . . #yearinpixels #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/BsZU5qWH3_5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fw7ml25y8nam

It’s time for my monthly podcast recommendation! In Thinking Sideways Devin, Joe and Steve explore unsolved mysteries, be they unsolved murders, artifacts that don’t belong, ufo encounters, mysterious disappearances, or lost treasure. Similar to Astonishing Legends but with a broader range of topics, every episode is enjoyable and will send you down the rabbit hole looking for more. . . . . . . #podcastrecommendation #podcastofthemonth #thinkingsideways #thinkingsidewayspodcast

Heading to my first therapy appointment in 10 years! Got my waterproof mascara on. Feeling ready to work through some issues. Hopefully this nauseous migraine doesn’t cause me to barf on my new therapist 🤮🙃
