Feb. 18th, 2024 11:05 amIt’s not been like. The best mental health weekend, so far. But we’re working on it. We’re typing this from a bench at our farmer’s market. I know sun and fresh air isn’t a cure for everyone, but for me it makes things less worse, and right now it is actually making things less worse to be outside.
I have a sesame bagel and some cream cheese, and some mint green tea, and some radish sticks, and a pear tart for a treat. I’ll probably eat those in just a bit and that will be lunch. I got some other food, including a big sweet potato that I’m going to dice up and roast with black beans and corn, and also some kale I may steam, and some scallions to chop. Those are going to become a rice bowl for dinner. I plan to put servings of brown rice into freezer bags so I have them on hand. There is also red pepper hummus (perhaps I can dip the radish sticks in this) and vegan lemon cake which I may try to split with the roommate later.
Lately I have observed a pattern where I’m holding it together during the week when there’s not much time to have fun and falling apart more by the weekends so it’s harder to replenish my sense of joy. I wonder if this has something to do with masking. I am getting a DBT workbook for neurodivergent people in the mail today and maybe it can tell me more.
I think I am doing the practical things right now, and using my skills. And they’re helping a bit. It’s good to keep a record of that so I know what works.
