I couldn't sleep last night and I was able to stay awake the whole day.

I rode my bike for 15 kilometers.

I made an appointment at the hospital to get my eyes examined and I was there on time.

I washed my hair.

I brushed my teeth.

I tried to read a book but failed.

I tried to write about depression treatment but failed.

I feel confident and somewhat energetic.

Today's antidepressants:

Modiwake 100 Mg

Efexor 300mg

Aripa 15mg

Olanzapin 5 mg

Lithuril (lithium) 900 mg

Change failed to something else! Need to work on it tomorrow, Will try to do better tomorrow, something positive and forward looking! You feel confident and energetic and you accomplished several things. You didn’t fail. At the bottom of your post you can edit out the word fail and replace it. Click on the v next to more in light grey, then on edit.

Thank you for your opinion. I think accepting the truth helps more than changing a word. I really tried to read a book but I couldn't. So I guess I failed. It doesn't mean I'm not going to try again. Writing "I tried to read a book but I will try again tomorrow" wouldn't make a big change I guess...

I think that we often try to do something and we need help, the timing is wrong, we have other things on our mind. That doesn’t make us a failure. Your comment about trying to read a book takes me back to my junior year in high school when one of the books required was “The Ambassadors”. I got farther than anyone else in the class - p50. We all got Fs on the test. I tried reading it again about 30 years later. I didn’t even get to p 30. It just isn’t the book for me! The book failed to keep my interest.

Of course we are not failures. We, as human, we can fail but that does not make us a failure. My Brazilian Jiu-jitsu sensei has a saying about this: "you don't lose in jiu-jitsu, you either win, or you learn".
