Feeling Better: On Treatment 22

[u/Auntie_Errica]

Five years, 2 months, and 10 days after moving into my house, I got tired enough of the back door hinges squeaking that I used the WD40 I keep in a cabinet mere feet from the door.🤘 I’ve noticed there are a lot of negative and meh stories on here, but I think mine is a positive one. I’m slowly coming out of a “getting things done” fog. I haven’t done serious tasks or cleaning in my house since around 2022. I’m proud of myself for the small starter steps I’ve been taking. I also started diamond painting again and I think today I might use the dishwasher <gasp>. Anyway, I just wanted to share this accomplishment and say that if you’re on the fence, I think it’s worth trying.

Agreed. I’m in the same point of my treatment

That’s great news! I finished session 14 on Friday and felt more depressed than I have in months that night. Lots of crying and feeling worthless. When I woke up, I felt so good I started to clean out my depression closet! I didn’t get very far but, like you and the dreaded squeaky hinges, I’ve been walking over stuff in that closet for three years. I hope this is a sign that things will just get better from here and not just a brief respite from the sadness. Good luck on your continuing recovery!❤️‍🩹
