Day 6

Day 6 of my public mental health diary
(Aka: no die, only diary)

Today was a mostly good things day!

Good things: slept well, got up early for first run in a looong time (and discovered I am very out of shape), got a hug from a delightful patient who remembered me from 4yrs ago

Odd thing: had a parcel I've been meaning to pick up from post office, finally motivated myself, and it was so worth it -- my nan sent me this ↑↑ mismatched cat and axolotl pyjama set for Christmas. Not sure if the top is intentionally cropped or if a kids top she accidentally got, either way it's an absolute winner and had me chuckling

Bad thing: still on the emotionally volatile side of things, find that I get little bubbles of happy/despair that are intense and short lived, but hard to damp down -- I worry I'm tipping into the manic side? Seeing my psych soon, but overall I think things have been levelling out. No suicidality or impulsivity in last few days, so that's nice ++

He's got cat hair on him already, darn

Thanks for listening, sharing is getting easier and easier each day, I think I'm reflecting on things more now that I'm trying to break each day into the good/bad and odd? And it's making me want to do more good things for myself, really motivating.

Sending love, hugs, and axolotl-cats
