Hitting rock bottom

February 12, 2010Erin No Comments »

As of yesterday, I am on stress leave from work. Depression and anxiety just SUCK.

However, today was a decent day and I got some things accomplished:

  • went to yoga
  • bought toothpaste (I had been squeezing the remnants out of the tube for the past few days)
  • stocked up on doggie treats and food for Maia
  • cooked dinner
  • threw out the science experiments lurking in the crisper, and then cleaned out both crisper drawers and the bottom shelf of the fridge

Tomorrow I set myself the following goals:

  • make an appointment with my doctor
  • vacuum the living room
  • do 10 minutes of training with Maia

I figure if I give myself small goals each day, I will get back into my routine of not letting the details of my life fall apart. Also, I feel good about getting things done, and while part of the reason of taking stress leave is to relax, I want to have something to focus on each day. I’m thinking of posting my to-do lists here on the blog each day and updating what I have accomplished, so that I have something concrete to look back on to see progress.
