I just need to carry forward & remember I DID make progress.
I had sat about feeling depressed & just couldn't make myself move till after 4pm. Off uni & not on shift for work, so home supposed to be study leave.
:T You did great. We don't do failure here
Celebrate what you have achieved and don't dwell on what you didn't
Paulies big hugs, you are being so brave and I'm glad you feel better
