Tracking Moods With a Mood Tracker

I use a mood tracker called Daylio and have every night since June 2. The tracker allows you to record your mood on a scale of 1 to 5 (the mood categories are actually “awful,” “fugly,” “meh,” “good,” and “rad” instead of actually being called 1 through 5), lets you select the day’s activities with… Read More Tracking Moods With a Mood Tracker

Made It, and Made It

One more short blog post today, since I’m pressed for time suddenly. I had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon that lasted far longer than I thought it would (everything’s fine, was just a regular checkup and medication consolidation and flu shot and bloodwork for a ton of things and holy cow were we thorough today)… Read More Made It, and Made It

Quick and Dirty

Hi gang. I hit twelve straight days of full marks on my checklist, which means today will set a new record if I can complete everything. I’m making slow but steady progress on my deadline item, and should achieve my goal before the deadline hits. (I hope.) Keep your fingers crossed for me. Sorry that… Read More Quick and Dirty

A Quick Potential Hurray

I have a mostly arbitrary deadline that I’m trying to make before 11 am Monday morning and I have a long way to go before I hit it, so I’m going to keep this (and likely tomorrow’s post) short and sweet. Today, if I complete full marks on my checklist, will be the twelfth day… Read More A Quick Potential Hurray

An Interesting Read

Over the past several months (there have been long periods of time that I’ve set it down and not read anything in it) I have been reading I Thought It Was Just Me (But It Isn’t) by Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW. It deals primarily with dealing with shame through a concept called shame resilience. The… Read More An Interesting Read

Thoughts from a Worried Mind

As promised yesterday, I’m going to be a little more political, because I feel strongly about a lot of issues that are relevant to today’s world. Now, keep in mind that because of my mental illnesses and my low threshold for stress these days, I’m not as up on the issues as I should be.… Read More Thoughts from a Worried Mind

Change of Plans

I met with my therapist today. We talked about a lot of things, including politics and my frustrations that have arisen because of same, and then I mentioned that I’ve been purposely going out of my way to avoid being political on my page for various reasons. She wants me to be more authentic with… Read More Change of Plans

Streaks III: Live From the Trenches

I don’t know why personal streaks are so important to me. I think that’s because I had a reputation when I was younger as someone that would start something and then walk away from it when it got too hard (to avoid failing) or I got bored with it (which was very often) or when… Read More Streaks III: Live From the Trenches

I Was Prompted To Write This

In response to yesterday’s post a dear friend of mine suggested “Perhaps some journaling prompts would help?” What a brilliant idea! So I did a Google search for “journaling prompts” and it offered an autocompletion of “journaling prompts for depression,” and since that kind of fits what I’m doing here I went with that. The… Read More I Was Prompted To Write This

Grinding to a Halt

No, not progress. Today’s been a decent day so far. I’ve been both productive and lazy at alternate points in the day, and it’s been a good balance of what I should be doing versus what I want to be doing. I’ve completed five straight days of full marks on my checklist and am gunning… Read More Grinding to a Halt
