Wow! You have A LOT going on. I'd say you deserve a break. Your problems will still be there when you get back, but for now be kind to yourself while you tackle life

bought pizza for lunch since it's been a while since we've had a treat

also finally getting back in the swing of working on comics so aside from my slice of life comic i'm also playing around with my self indulgent among us au (currently messing around with character designs for the crew) so it feels good being some form of productive again

Today’s not the greatest day, but I got out of the house and visited my speech therapist :))

I haven't had a chance to do anything kind for myself today, because I've been teaching since 7:30am and I won't finish until 1:30pm... But as soon as I get home, I'm having a well-deserved nap. I only got about 4 hours sleep last night as my partner was out supporting a friend at a music gig, so I'm absolutely knackered.

Not gonna lie, had a pretty dang bad night last night in terms of mental health. When I woke up this morning, I didn't want to sit around and do nothing, because I was still feeling bad, so I decided to go out and go to the state park here and take a nice walk. It was really nice, the weather was chilly but blue sky, and I even saw a bald eagle. So that definitely lifted my spirits a bit!

productivity is self care!

Good work! It takes a lot to get yourself out when you're in a bad place. that's powerful!

jkb4753 2021-03-19 02:22:28 UTC #19

Yes! Take that nap! Teaching sounds very exhausting, you need to give yourself treats when you can.

Going to therapy is good self care!

It's difficult for me to communicate/socialize with others, but I have a couple people that I genuinely enjoy talking to. I called one of them earlier and just talked while I drew some sketches of a character. It was actually quite nice.

jkb4753 2021-03-19 04:54:07 UTC #28

That sounds wonderful! What a great way to give yourself some company <3

I praised myself for a rewrite of a paragraph I did Small victories is what I aim for.

Freaking cleaned my room!! Didn’t even start intentionally at first!

praising yourself is really important. external validation is unreliable, we need to cultivate healthy self talk.
