here’s another important thing I’ve realized will help me recover from depression: setting realistic goals! For example, I’ve always been a night owl but for a while I became hellbent on fixing my sleep schedule. This turned out to be harder than I had hoped and led to a lot of days where I didn’t get nearly enough sleep since I had made obligations in the morning, so instead I’m deciding to structure my life around the fact that I am a night owl. I asked to be scheduled night shifts at work, and now even though my sleep schedule still sucks I’m at least well rested every day which is making tackling my other issues much easier.
