Waking Up Is The Toughest Thing...

When you’re depressed. You just don’t even wanna get up in the morning and just stay in bed and sleep all day, but honestly for me at least that just makes it worse.

Have to find a way to get up and get started with your day and just try and make it as good or bearable as possible. Today gonna have lunch at 2:00 pm with a couple of my new friends I made recently at the church I started attending. That’ll be good.

Last night I attended a social gathering of sorts with the church and met a bunch of people and it was good. It always is meeting new people and just talking and hopefully making some new friends.

I will probably head back home later (My hometown is about 2.5 hours away from where I am right now which is like a second home and that I visit very often usually every weekend) because my uncle is sick and dying. It doesn’t sound very promising. His final days could be upon us and my mom is taking it very hard as expected. My uncle is her last living sibling as the other two died, but just gonna try and be there for her as much as possible.

Also my brother is getting sworn in tomorrow I believe as he’s becoming an attorney officially and it’ll be great. Very proud of him obviously, but also just being around a lot of family who is sure to be there and hopefully after we can all get together and go eat and do something fun.

If I happen to stay there during the weekend I’ll just have to find something to do. When I’ve been there me and old friend have been hanging out quite a bit usually playing basketball. That’ll hopefully and probably happen again. If not with him I’ll call some other friends and hopefully get to hang out with them. I still want to get some studying done, but I don’t wanna spend too much because I think doing so has had a negative effect on me. Wherever I’m at I want to go to church on Sunday also. May start working out soon also.

There is also something to do. I just can’t sit around at home because that’s when things get really difficult. I just have to make it through this week and my class starts next week. Also might try and see if I can still work for my dad a little bit during the day because my class isn’t till 6:00 pm and it’s only Monday-Wednesday.
