rough week but I coped in healthy ways. Injuries are wreaking havoc with my mental state. I've never felt this low. I think I am probably clinically depressed. It doesn't feel good. This is a high-functioning depression in which I am still doing ok at work, and I am doing self care stuff to try and make myself feel better.

Last week I swam 5 days, rode my bike 2 days, and took 1 day completely off. I did my achilles PT every day and shoulder PT most days.
I journaled almost every day.

goal this week is to keep the healthy coping skills, journal every day, do my PT stuff.
