Can someone tell me they're proud of me for taking care of myself? I had a really rough day with my depression, all the emotions from my soon-to-be traumatic divorce just crashed on me. Didn't know what did it, I just felt so very sad and cranky all day....

And I still grocery shopped, cooked dinner for my grandparents & dad, and did my skin care even though I really didn't want to... but I knew if I didn't do it, I'd probably not start doing it again later. I'm trying really hard to take care of myself and today has been the hardest day since I left.

I know I shouldn't need the validation of strangers but I just feel.... so useless and alone.

Thank you everyone. I know only 3 responded so far but im literally crying from your kindness. I dont know what I'm going to do with my life now that I'm on my own but for now ill take it one day at a time. At least I have time with my grandma before she dies someday.

You all are amazing. Thank you.
