I'm coming to the end of a week-long vacation from work. For the first time I can remember, I got out of my apartment each day and did something. The something ranged from taking a long walk in the park to volunteer work to shopping. My usual M.O. is to spend much of my time off being depressed, not getting dressed, and staying in bed for most of the day for most of the week off. So this is big for me.
But, that voice in my head says, "Other women go on vacation to the beach with their boyfriends on their week off." I can use cognitive therapy techniques to talk back to this thought, but that doesn't really make it go away. I must add that I've only been doing cognitive therapy on a self-help basis for only about a month. I've also started a regular program of exercise.
I shouldn't expect miracles so soon, right?
Any support will be welcome.
