Pre notes

I think I’m probably depressed

  • I have no energy, no motivation for the future

I know I’m in the perfect position to change my life

But I feel overwhelmed & exhausted, just thinking about the future

It comes in waves. Generally I’m close to null

  • but the best times are when I’m calm, optimisticv, and see the fun of it all
  • this normally happens after 1am, so I push myself to stay up later

Maybe I just need more sleep?

Upside: I tidied my room today and made progress on the bathroom. I’d noticed that everywhere I look,
wherever I go in the house, theres a reminder of something else I need to do. Some small, often big

Rules:

  • Al good thoughts must be followed by a balancin negative thought
  • I should find reasons to criticise myself + feel bad about everything
  • I still compulsively theorise so I guess a rule is, I haver to prepare for everything
  • its more positive now but xtill draining

I want to stop thikning and just go with the flow. Work stuff + socialising, it’s natural to me, it doesnt need any effort
but nothing’s happening atm

I think this numbness served a purpose. But now I want to turn it off.
