Weekend was me just trying to relax and succeeding. Had a rough one on the days prior so I just tried to get my head clear. I went out to talk to people to try and alleviate my social anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been listening to affirmations to try and address my outlook. My outlook is so pessimistic and negative that I feel like right now I need to listen to them non-stop 24 hours per day just to maintain a barely positive mood. Seriously, I don&#8217;t think my depression has been worse than it has been the past week or so. I just feel like my death is imminent and I shouldn&#8217;t bother doing anything because only bad things happen when I do things. This is not a frame of mind I should be in. I have to replace my negative thoughts with positive thoughts, I feel like I&#8217;ve been in this situation countless times over the past few years. I tend to get sick and tired of maintaining a routine as my mood flat lines and the benefits lose their perceived benefit to my mood. This is extremely frustrating as you can tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday which was yesterday (11th) was a bit better. I got 1 hour of work done while previously I wasn&#8217;t even getting that. I didn&#8217;t feel as bad. I&#8217;m definitely eyeing getting a laptop for real now. Any excuse for me to leave the house and feign a work routine where I work away from home, I hope I can work at a library or some other place away from home. Something that keeps me at home is that I can&#8217;t do my work when I&#8217;m out. I remember having a Laptop when I was younger and it was so useful, not a perfect machine but it did what I wanted it to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve done a ton of research, now I&#8217;m deciding between a 15 and 17 inch laptop. One is big and more ergonomic while the other is more portable and would actually fit in my bag. Today I&#8217;m going to the store to test the ergonomics of a 17 inch  a 15 inch laptop. Based on what I learn I&#8217;ll go from there. I hope this Laptop will help me break out of my shell a bit. My surface simply isn&#8217;t powerful or ergonomic enough to be used the way I used to use Laptops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s all. I&#8217;m in a really dark place and I genuinely need as much help as I can get. I need to feel alive again, like I did in 2019 and I was genuinely happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve got external Gym, Meditation and meeting w friends planned. I hope I can achieve something. I feel like this struggle could go on for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 days. Weekend was me just trying to relax and succeeding.
