small steps anywhere right now.

And separate immediate needs from tomorrow type needs or next week. ?

Jobs need time to pay so really next weeks needs are today's work, and today's needs are either covered or too late.

Thankfully I have only some of the latter, and they have already been postponed.

I did... I can't even finish a full task yet. I was starting with account for my art portfolio. Made the account, but I'm 1/3rd through setting my portfolio and I got tired.

Also realized my threshold for what I would do for money right now is pretty low... but not low enough. And considering my situation a part of me wonders if it should be... yet it's still not happening. It's a weird time in my life though, I'm making decisions I had sworn not to do.

But I'm still here. That's something.

Innthe cafes there is often the choice of either talking to people or just focusing on people watching/staying with your own thoughts which is nice

Primary cognitive distortions (negative thinking styles)

Cognitive distortion forms the backbone of PTSD. Whether you know it or not, all moods and behavioral patterns originate from your cognitions-- your thoughts. The first thing that happens is a thought, and then a mood or behavior occurs. When you allow an area of your life to become dominated...
