Hello,
I have had depression (severe..I score high in those questionaires) for two months and have just had my best week for ages. I am now living back in my own house and beginning to look after myself and feed myself nice food.
But I wanted to write down something that has happened to check out what other people think.
It is amazing just to enjoy the basic pleasures of life again like the beauty of a flower and the company of friends who I have hidden away from for two months.
I have managed to come up with a new philosophy...when I wake up I say
" Today I only need to... "and chose a maximum of two very simple things e.g. Wash the kitchen floor and light candles and listen to an album I haven't heard for a while."
And I am so pleased with managing to do these things I quite often go on to do more things.
I hope someone can be helped by this.
Now for the "problem" (??? maybe someone can help me out here?) By chance I have been spending most of my time with a friend of mine. Just happens to be around with lots of free time but as I am loving the warm feelings of joy I am confusing this with love. Now I know that if you are reading this and envying me for even having positive emotions, believe me. I wouldn't have thought it possible even a week ago.....
I am rewarding myself with little treats but is it a bad idea to treat myself to spending time with someone I fancy? What do people think?
Thanks very much.....
