I had a “good” day today but feel more empty than happy. Had my 2nd appt with my new counselor that went really well. Met up with 2 of my old co-workers for lunch. Went out for ice cream with my husband. Went to a chiropractor appt. Have been resting/watching tv the rest of the afternoon and night.

This is more than I’ve been able to do in a long time. I should be HAPPY! But I just feel empty. Mad even. Like.. these things shouldn’t be accomplishments, they should be things I just do without even thinking about.

Hopefully I can reach that point sometime soon.

You think you're unhappy because you deep think about these things? I mean, that's what I do, but that's just who I am. I'm an over thinker. Simple things turn into complicated things.

They’re complicated between a concussion I’m trying to recover from, anxiety/depression and an Ativan taper. I wish I could go back to living my own life without all of those those things controlling my life right now. :/

Maybe this apart of your recovery process of healing. Just take it easy, and don’t be so hard on yourself. At least you had the strength to do these things. I’m proud of you!

Thank you! I definitely need to get out of my own head and be grateful for anything.
