It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good week, but this one was alright. Not amazing or anything, but just… good?

I had only one major episode, it was entirely private, I went into my car to scream for a bit then went in and felt better. The entire rest of the week went… pretty smoothly? I didn’t sit inside all day. I got out and did things. When things didn’t go exactly how I wanted to, I didn’t immediately seethe or mope. Get this: I worked with people, found solutions, and got shit done. I had fun without overdoing it. I was still pretty impulsive with my food spending, and still struggled with cleaning up and cooking for myself. The two are very much correlated, it’s a vicious cycle and the target of my next goal for self-improvement.

I started a “mood journal.” It’s helping. I should have done this years ago. I should have been given Lithium years ago.
