Heyo, what have you done this month to make yourself better? (lemmy.world)

After what seems like a year of near constant stress, disappointment, and loneliness, I decided to stop sitting at my computer all day and start making better choices for myself. This was a really hard thing to do for me since I work from home about two feet from my entertainment area. I would end up sitting at my desk all day and neglecting things that I wanted to do and I wasn't sure why.

This month I have:

Set up the Ender 3 V2 that was sitting in my closet for two years and printed out a bunch of cool shit with my kid.

Exercised every other day to try to help myself with some vicious joint pain that has developed recently.

Kept the dishes from piling up on my desk.

Made doctor and dentist appointments.

Don't get me wrong, things are still stressful and disappointing, but I feel a lot better than I have in a long time. What have you done to care for yourself lately? Digging yourself out of depression is hard and I want to hear your successes, no matter how small they are.

Just by returning to college fall quarter in the middle of the month, my exercise level has gone up compared to the sedimentary summer I ended up having. I have had to walk more with slightly more weight due to having to take my laptop case with me to and from my 3 classes. And it has made me actually get back into a slightly more regular eating schedule as I'm required to eat breakfast if I don't wanna be hungry after classes.
