Today I have done drastic changes in my appearance. I have cut my really long hair at a hair saloon and I have shaven off my "depression" beard. Last year when I became depressed I grew a beard and I have been waiting for the "right" opportunity, it was supposed to be a ritual when I was "fully" recovered. Today I just thought why not. And I look really handsome if I must say so myself
This last week now I have been on a vacation and I have treated myself to a massage and really good food. And I have started a new hobby. I bought computer parts and plan on building myself a brand new computer, have never done that before and I can't wait until I can start building next week when I return home. I used to care so much about appearance, and would deny my inner geek. No more denial. Giving myself treats has helped immensely on my mood. Not immediately but now when I sum up I am proud of myself. I am so changed on the inside so why not on the outside?
