I started using a rather pretty notebook as a means of combating the day-to-day feelings of worthlessness.
Daily Accomplishments:
Friday: Spent 3 hours volunteering for the British Heart Foundation.
Saturday: 1) Visited grandad, did all washing and drying up, made drinks for
everyone, was not selfish (did not hog the tv or the comfy
chair :P ) (NOTE: Grampa ALWAYS has his favourite chair, but
I tend to grab the other really good one away from my sisters...)
2) Managed to avoid arguments with teenage sister ALL DAY (an
absolute rarity!).
Sunday: Looked up four jobs to apply for- next step is to actually stop
panicking and DO the damn thing- send my resume and intro letter!
It's a way of making myself see that I DO useful things everyday. If you see a little light, even just a flicker of it in otherwise dark hours, it lifts your spirit immeasurably.
