I have suffered from anxiety and depression couple years during have had very limited energy or even will to do anything extra things. I have focused on basics, everyday things and really even didn't try to do anything more. And two years ago when I decided to get my first own dog without any supportive people near me I knew my life will be almost only based on school and dog. My therapist have said that the dog saved me, and kind of I think the same. The dog brought me a clear daily rhytmn, and maybe because of that I started quite quickly to recover from insomnia which affected to my overall welfare in a significant way.
I got lost from the subject but just some thoughts which came to mind.. Overall, even tough I have felt better for a while, the combination of school and job has affected that I have keep going to focus on only them and of course to my dog. Additionally I have had some big personal changes during last months which have take my whole energy. But now the things are started to look like I have tried step by step doing the things I haven't done for years. Those things include the knitting and doing puzzles.
I just started doing simple and basic wool stocks and in addition the 1000 pieces of puzzle which have hang in the closet for many years. Oh boy doing these things have felt good. And how excited and same time relaxed I have been while doing things I really love.
