Seems Minor, But It's Huge

[JEKBreatheandBelieve]

I had an appointment with my PCP today. It was a follow-up to touch base on things in general after coming home from inpatient about two weeks ago. Every time I go there are two questions- one asks about how many days in the last two weeks have you felt little pleasure in doing things and the other is about how many days you've felt hopeless.

Well, today I am proud to say that I could check 0 for how many days in the last two weeks I have felt hopeless. It felt really strange and really good at the same time to check that box. Something I will put in my reminders for when things do get really tough again because I know they will, but I am working on enjoying these good moments when I can. I even played with both of my boys today and had fun!

That is awesome! Always good to note and acknowledge the positive. something that has been helpful to me is to journal, write or do art around that so something tangible to look at when I don not feel it any more. Kudos to you!
