My first blog post included a list of non-negotiables on how I cope with my depression. I thought in the interest of full transparency I should tell you how it is going.

1. I picked up my child from school wearing pyjama bottoms more than once this week.
2. I forgot to brush my teeth and went out repeatedly without combing my hair.
3. I slept in my makeup 3+ times.
4. I did NOT do laundry.
5. I did NOT grocery shop.
6. I did NOT prepare fabulous meals for my family.

Things I did right:

I laughed every single day.

I loved my God, my family and my friends fiercely and unashamedly in spite of the aforementioned list.

 

 

I am beyond tired.

What if instead of googling all that ails me I:

Pray more.

Love harder.

Forgive quicker.

Sit less.

Move more.

Information age…. I am over you.

Dishes unwashed.

Counter cluttered.

Floor unswept.

Laundry undone.

Bed unmade.

Hair uncombed.

Appetite zero.

Motivation zilch.

What does a bad day look like in your depression journey? Comment below. I want to know. Not a one of us is in this fight alone.

 

I am scared of Pillsbury rolls. I scream every time I have to open one. Every. Single. Time.

Life happens but we’ve got this!!!

 

My husband and I discovered this thing called ‘City Pass’ on our recent trip to Chicago. We wanted our money’s worth which resulted in us visiting at least one museum too many.

A few things I learned:

1. I may have ADD.
2. I am NOT smarter than a 5th Grader.
3. I love pushing the buttons on displays.
4. I don’t understand art.
5. My husband and I are a good match (see 1-4 and apply to him.)
