Lots of little wins this week. 

  • Making phonecalls, filling out forms, and negotiating deals with creditors. It sounds simple enough, but I struggle so much with motivation when I'm down, and creditors can be the absolute worst.
  • Reaching out to an old mentor to explain what's going on and ask for help finding work - and being pleasantly surprised with the response.
  • Dropping my uni workload to one subject, prioritising the subject I'd find most enjoyable, and actually engaging with the work.
  • Standing firm on boundaries and articulating needs to my housemates, who listened and responded above and beyond what I expected.
  • Starting my first novel! Obviously there's the looming question of whether and when I'll finish it, but the first tiny little bits are there.
