The beach sounds wonderful! Just going outside for a little while helped me on those days when I was feeling down. Depression is real. Try not to blame yourself or compare yourself with others when you are struggling. The fatigue that accompanies this recovery can be so draining. When you can, figure out small treats for yourself. I have even made lists of small treats that would lift my spirits and then referred to them on a bad day when I couldn't think of anything. My list included stuff like a new color of nail polish or a bubble bath or looking for a pretty rock in the yard or cleaning just one window or trying one new vegetable, fruit, or spice from the grocery. Yours will be different, but just anything new or different or self-indulgent can feel like rewarding yourself for persevering. Best wishes and let us know how things go.
