What Did You Do For You Today???

I worked hard in a productive therapy session opening up and talking in detail about the anger that I've been feeling.

I went out to lunch at a cafe bakery and decided I wanted a pastry. I couldn't decide between a coconut macaroon or a big blueberry scone. So I got both. With my borderline ED that's a hard thing to let myself do. And it will take me a couple of days to finish my treats since I'm cautious about calories. But I didn't beat myself up for wanting and getting a treat.

I listened to my body. I've been pushing myself too much and not listening to my body when I'm hurting the way it needs me to. I've been feeling it more and more. Today I have too much nerve pain and an option to go on a family outing this evening. I decided I can't push anymore and it's time to listen to my body and stay home and rest.
 
Today I have struggled to keep my self in a positive mode, I've felt so isolated and lonely all day today.

I've really tried to keep myself busy, to take my mind off things, but I feel like I've lost the battle. I'm slipping back into depression, no matter how much I'm trying to keep up beat?

I can feeling it taking me over.
 
So I went and did a Mindfulness of Breath, and a Mindfulness of Body and Breath as well as 2 x 30 minute Body scans (that really helped settle me down) and 2 x 7 minute compassion breaks.

I also identified and challenged some of my distorted cognitions.
