I think I am at a 7 even though I am having a low energy day. Did some cooking last week for the first time in a while and it was good to feed my husband. I am a picky eater but my husband will eat and enjoy anything. He is fun to cook for because I can try new recipes that I would never eat.

I do miss having optimism- I don't seem to have much of that anymore. I am one of those "happy" depressed people - I still try to find a silver lining in everything no matter how bad things get, but that is getting harder to do.

I am most frustrated that our current health plan through my husband's employer does not cover mental health visits (like to my therapist who I have seen for years and helps me stay on track) - so each visit sets us back $250 which we can't afford so I have only seen him 2x this year.

Looking forward to a bonfire and maybe a beer Tues night
