I did get to relax last night. I didn't wash the dishes though. I guess I can try to do them today. But I'm not in the mood to do anything. I don't have any plans for today. Hope everyone is well.

I took out the trash this morning. I'm getting ready to open one package and then I will relax. It's a pretty day here so my mood is good. Tomorrow I plan to do the following:

1. Open packages.
2. Clean the litter box.
3. Clean the dining room.

Hope everyone is well!

Hello,

I feel so depressed and am so much selfblaming with anxiety that in this moment I will make an agreement with myself:

For two weeks I am going to write daily plans either I want to or not, and either I feel bad or not!

Today is Wednesday 27. January. I will evaluate my plan on Wednesday 10. of February.

For now I will write a list for the grocery shop (and a list for dinner for one week).
After that I will watch Netflix at 45 minutes before I decide the next step for today.

Done!

I will make a meal and then use Netflix to distract! (The anxiety is not so intense now). I suppose I cling to the hope that structuring every minute will help.

Thumbs up for that!

I became somewhat better after the meal. I have skipped most meals the two last days. The corona situation is depressing me. I need to keep going and not lose hope now.

My plans for tomorrow:

... Up early hopefully at 07:00
... Eat breakfast at 07:30
... Remember to take vitamins
... Work in the kitchen from 9:00 - 10:00
... Try to work online for one hour.
... Work on own problems for one hour
... PAUSE
... Homework until it's time to make dinner
... Rest after dinner
... Choose if I want to work online or continue with cleaning
... Use the evening for hobbies or Netflix (it is for distracting from SAD
thoughts).
... Go to bed before 23:00

To all: Take care!

I've been in bed most of the day pretty sick. I need to clean the litter box. I just don't feel well enough to deal with it. I hope tomorrow morning I can do it. These are my plans for tomorrow:

1. Clean the litter box.
2. Take out the trash.
3. Clean up in the dining room.

Hope everyone is well!

I did get enough sleep. My meals have been heaIthy. I have worked in the kitchen, but I have not done my work online. I have been able to work 25 more minutes in the kitchen then expected. Am happy about that! I worked on own problems (CBT) for about 30 minutes. Glad I was able to do that. I already feel more optimistic, now, then I did yesterday. I think that has happend because I have used my day in a stuctured frame. The way I see it, to make structure, is to take control over the situation. The frontal cortex is working while the impulses in the limbic system is lowered. Am reading a book about CBT on how to lower depression and anxiety ... (everybody can find were these areas in the brain are located by doing a google search).

My plans for tomorrow:

... Up early hopefully at 07:00
... Eat breakfast at 07:30
... Remember to take vitamins
... Religious practice
... Work in the kitchen from 9:00 - 10:00
... Continue the work with the CBT selfhelp book for 30 - 45 minutes.
... Sit down and plan what is most crucial to get done and in what order.

Have to come back tomorrow to write the full plan.

To all: Take care!

My time working in the kitchen today was longer than yesterday. I am glad to see that I am able to do more than I think I can do. I worked for 1 hour with the CBT selfhelp book. I saw a program at Netflix and then made a healthy dinner. I rested for one hour. Am tired now and will not do more work today, just relax.

I will not make big plans for Saturday, but keep the same morning routine.

... Up early hopefully at 07:00
... Eat breakfast at 07:30
... Remember to take vitamins
... Religious practice
... Out with trash
... Shower
... A trip to the grocery shop, just a few things (I use a mask).

If I don't see you tomorrow I want to wish all a good weekend, now!

I was able to clean the litter box. I also washed dishes. I did have plans to open packages for today. But I don't want to do it now. I'm very tired.

I hope all of you are well! Happy weekend!!

I just haven't been motivated. I did wash dishes this morning. And I cleaned the litter box. I'm avoiding taking the trash out. I need to clean up my living room. But it's completely overwhelming. I don't know where to start.

Wishing everyone a good Sunday!

I was able to make a huge dent in my living room. I just started with the packages on my coffee table. I opened almost all of them. Next, I have boxes to open. My living room will be my main focus today.

I became sick. I have done some of the goals for today. The rest has to wait either to the evening or to tomorrow.

Although I enjoyed my 3 day event immensely, it was long hours and I am now behind a bit on my chores, errands and inner work. I will parcel things out throughout the week so I can get things done smoothly and stress free.

Warm regards to all.
