Things are going a bit better. I got my entire house clean this morning and I feel some of the joy and color coming back into my life, as well as the motivation to set goals again.

I always sleep really strangely coming out of a depressive episode. It's like I am dead asleep all night, need more sleep than normal, and my dreams are super intense and strange. When I wake up, it's like pulling my consciousness out of the void. It feels like my brain is trying to heal itself.

Hoping to get caught up on chores, manage work, plan one social outing, and most importantly, play a lot of the Oblivion Remaster! I love that game so much, it's probably had the biggest positive on my mental health in years.

I wish you the best of luck! My plan is to use these weekly threads for accountability. I think it will help me stay on track.

Really going to attempt to un-dysfunction my eating habits this weekend. Depression completely screwed up when I eat, how much I am eating, and what I eat such that I basically go days without eating anything but bread or cookies every 12 hours and then struggle with my mood and energy predictably crashing. I used to do just fine feeding myself but it's like I somehow lost this skill.
