overcome depression

I went to the monthly appointment today.

I am getting much better. I am very happy.

I am recovering.

The improvements is everywhere in my life.

I initiated many phone calls to set up appointments for various reasons last month. And I went to Meetup.com to check out local meeting I am interested in, and I met new people.

The other day I was at an express check out register in a grocery store. The lane is for “10 items or less”, but the woman in front of me had a whole cart of groceries. While watching her checking out, I am of course a little unhappy about the situation. I always kept quite in various situations like this before, although I always felt upset and regreted not had said anything afterwards.

Then I thought to myself “I don’t want to be the one who felt bad after this. I will say something.”

When she had about 5 items left on the belt, I walked up to her and kinda pulled her aside, “M’am, are you in a hurry to go somewhere?” I asked.
She looked all confused.

“You know, this lane is for 10 items or less”. I pointed to the sign by the register.

She apologized and said she never noticed the sign before.

I felt very proud of myself being able to voice my opinion for the first time in a long time. My husband had always told me that I should tell people what I think when it bothers me. I am very happy I did it.

I went to see the July 4th fireworks with my husband and his two friends. I didn’t want to go for the entire day, since I didn’t want to see that many people and I was not familiar with the two friends. I also didn’t want to be disappointed if the fireworks would be not as great as expected. But at the end I decided to go.

It turned out to be a perfect evening! I got to know the couple we went together with. And I like the girl a lot. She taught me how to turn my ponytail into a bun. The fireworks were amazing. My husband and I kissed under the fireworks. And we even beat the crowd at the metro station after the fireworks. The whole metro ride was so smooth and we even got seats all the way. I had expected to wait for hours to get on the metro.

The most important thing is that I finished my first novel today. With a little more editing this weekend, I can call it done.

I am very happy and content at this moment, to know that I am recovering.

I’ve been doing better lately.

I am the one who controls my mind.

I’ve been seeing the doctor for the past three months. The new medicine’s been working well. Much better than the old one.

I am getting better and I believe I will recover by the end of this year. It feels very good in control of my mind.

I’ve been more active in life and got things done. I couldn’t get those things done before.
