How I’m Going to Drag Myself Out of Depression
Yeah, things have been shitty & I’m sick of it. While I was home, I talked to some of my best friends & they had so much helpful advice for me. I feel like now I have a plan to pull myself together. I’m going to post it up here so that I will actually hold myself accountable to it. Here it goes:
- Get a new job. I am going to start broadening my search to include using temp agencies. I’m going to work harder than ever to find something else because I need money & I need new friends. I am going to stick with my daycare job for now, but if I can find something full time that would be stellar.
- Exercise. Yoga, I’m looking at you. I have a great video & there’s also a studio a few blocks away. It just needs to happen even if I’m scared that I’ll embarrass myself.
- Make friends. I’m so sick of not having my own friends. I’m going to start putting myself out there a lot more. I am going to use Meetup to meet people as well as by, hopefully, getting a new job where I don’t work alone.
- Take a class. I don’t know if I want to actually audit a class or if I just want to take one at a local business, but I’m going to do something. It will be a great way to meet people & I definitely need the stimulation. There’s a terrarium workshop I already have my eye on.
- Therapy. This is probably the #1 thing I need to do to get out of this rut. There are a lot of things happening that I just can’t wrap my mind around right now. My family is driving. me. insane. I need to learn skills that will help me deal with this because I’m doing a shitty job on my own. I’m really excited to get started.
