Today was strange. Aware of all the bad, but struggling to do the good, patching up bullet wounds with a plaster.

I am currently in a phase of hating everything. My sleep is poor, no matter what I eat I feel sick, it’s cold and grey and gloomy, no sign of Spring, I spend each day doom scrolling and doom watching and just making myself feel worse. When I wake up in the morning I grab my phone, which then makes the entire day disappear as that’s all I can seem to do. I’m not consuming good content, I’m consuming so much hatred and misery. I’m almost 24 and I feel trapped. I can’t go out to the shops, I have to make sure I have a plan, and make sure I have all my medical supplies packed in my bag, and I need to make sure I bring a snack, or plan a way to get a snack if I start to feel sick. Going out is exhausting. I have to get dressed which hurts, I have to use my wheelchair which is exhausting and doesn’t fit in most shops. I can’t just go out. I’m in a never ending cycle of wasting money on things I tell myself I need, but surely I could’ve waited and saved for it rather than acting impulsively. I’m typing this after spending over six hours scrolling. My eyes burn, my throat is dry because why would I move to get a drink when I can just watch one more clip, I feel sick, but that’s no surprise because lately everything is making me feel sick. Have I mentioned the grey skies? It’s raining and windy and stormy. It’s almost May and I want to hibernate. There’s so many books I want to read but reading seems to much effort, I feel like I can’t concentrate on anything anymore, I want to work in my notebooks, I want to draw and paint, I want to watch the things that have been on my list for years, I want to make those journal pages. I’m craving sunshine and a smoothie. I’m craving a long walk in the woods. I’m craving literally anything but continuing to lay here scrolling, only to go to bed and not be able to sleep because I haven’t done anything all day, which means I sleep bad, which means when I wake up tomorrow feeling sick and tired I will just reach for my phone again. It’s never ending. I only have bad days. The good ones are so rare. I can’t even seem to do the bare minimum anymore. I’m tired. I’ve had enough. I don’t want to keep going like this, but I know I will. I know I’ll wake up tomorrow and grab my phone and the cycle will continue.

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Read a small essay on why you should read children’s books, and started reading ‘On Agoraphobia’ which is already far too relatable.

Today was a super long and expensive day - but seeing how happy my dog was with her new bed made it worthwhile.

Today has been a real mixed bag. Morning started iffy but I worked on some notebook things, and then spent most of the afternoon reading, whilst also fighting the doomscrolling urge. It was a quick walk this evening but still enjoyable. Really hoping that I sleep well.

Today was also not so good, but I did get to write a letter to a dear friend so maybe it also wasn’t so bad.

Things have been going well for so long that I kind of forgot that the lifelong clinical depression was even a thing.

Today was much slower than the past few days, but it was still wonderful. Did my AM routine, read a few pages, made my favourite lunch, and had a little treat, did some journaling, then read for the rest of the afternoon, did my usual evening routine, then headed out on my sunset walk which has quickly become one of the best parts of my day - I mean come on!! Look at that landscape, and look at those sheep and lambs!!
Anyway once back home I cleaned up before getting ready for bed, which involved trying to stretch on my yoga mat that my dog was using as a pillow, I’m now doing some journaling and planning to set the week up as best as I can.
