Some Improvement

The past few days have felt like a huge improvement -- I really hope it stays that way. I was more social this weekend -- I stayed in on Friday to try and sleep early (that was a bust) but I went to a birthday party on Saturday night and out to dinner Sunday evening. I managed to go to bed a bit earlier each of those nights and I finally feel like I'm approaching an actual schedule. I still feel exhausted, but I think my body is still playing catch-up from last week. Right now I'm trying to get to bed earlier but I'm not worrying about waking up for exercise yet. Maybe I should've started with just one resolution instead of 5. I've managed to get a good handle on eating 3 meals per day already, and the bedtime thing is coming along. Maybe after that's all squared away I can think about exercise or chores a little more.

Dinner last night was especially helpful because I finally got the chance to talk to someone here about how hard it's been and have them share similar feelings. Huge relief. Not to mention we actually seem to have a lot in common. Hopefully I've made a new friend. I just need to really internalize the lesson that it's okay to ask for help.
