How I overcame my depression and anxiety today.

- Last night was terrible, I barely slept. I woke up today and could not even finish my workout because I felt so overwhelmed with sadness and defeat. For really no reason at all, it just hits me every few months and when it does, it's debilitating.
- Here is how I fixed it:
- I decided to do the hard thing and had a tough conversation today that was needed. It was very productive and I'm so happy I did it.
- I got dressed and left the house and tried a new coffee place.
- I did a consultation with a potential therapist (I think it will be a good fit too)
- I paid and scheduled a *thing* for myself.
- I did not care about work today - I took care of myself.
- I did my second indoor ski lesson and feel confident now to get on the slopes now, at least some greens.
- I planned a ski trip on Monday with my best friend.
- I saw my best friend and watched him tumble while also trying to ski. We both laughed a lot.
- I journaled.
- I ate food I enjoy but did not overindulge.
- I gave myself grace.
- I gifted myself a Miyoo Mini Plus. I like the portability, form factor, and mostly enjoy retro gaming anyway. I'm excited to set it up and use it.
- I created a plan to pay off all of my debt (other than student loans or my mortgage) by April 1st.
