A little thing. I had a rest day today. Read my book. Watched some old tv. Felt sad but managed to get myself out for a walk. I am so terrified of slipping back into depression I struggle to rest. But I stopped and looked at my to-do list I made for the weekend and I did it all. And I rested.

Just wanted to write that down so I remember it's ok

Yes! Speaking from experience, not giving yourself a rest day can exacerbate depression.

I find it really relaxing anytime I can force myself to pause and read. Hope your book is good and the walk was peaceful
