Had drama this morning with work... caused significant anxiety. The most productive things I did: 1) I cleaned a quarter of my office. It took like 2 hours. 2) I talked to a friend going through trauma and helped them know it's normal. The hero's journey is illustrative of a person's first exposure to death / trauma. 1) everything was normal 2) until they experienced something which made them realize everything was different. Then 3) they figured out how to cope, and 4) now they're a badass who saves the world.

So normally I only share the bad parts of depression. Today I get to share a win! I've been going to therapy for about... 4 years probably? With 3 different therapists. (Switched for various reasons due to moving, them stopping practicing, etc. Never due to stopping voluntarily.) One of the core beliefs that a previous therapist (treeoflifeutah.com) identified was: I think that I'm worthless. I identified that core belief about a year ago, slightly after my dad died.
