Liam coffee, and Jodi’s house with Brooklyn

August 13, 2023: Today I woke up and did my medication at 7:51am with a yogurt with 11g of fat. I also made some notes with Papa on what to talk about during my meeting with Liam. We talked about things to say about my time in the mood disorders unit. I also decided I’m going to the suit camp that they’re doing for like one and a half days. I’m going on Thursday for sure, and also for a half day on Tuesday. When Liam and I went to get coffee at Roots Roasting, I got a small miel coffee, which is Spanish for honey. Liam also talked to me about how it might be better to find times to take my medication earlier in the day, like at 4:30pm. I also learned that he’s not going to trivia the next two weeks, but he’ll be back the week, following those two. After that, I drove over to Jodi’s house, where they were having a small get-together for some family members. There, I ran into the guy who I talked to a lot the other day, Mike. He’s the one whose dog I took a picture with the other day. I told him about my time in the mood disorders unit. I also had an alright moment playing with someone’s baby, who was named Brooklyn. I asked both the parents why they chose to have a kid, and they both said that they’d always wanted to have kids and a family. I also wasn’t even trying to do my night medications at the same time as I’d taken my morning ones, but I did it on accident. It ended up taking the night meds at 7:49pm with a bit less than half an avocado along with some cottage cheese from Jodi’s house. I thought I was taking it much earlier than that, but it worked out really well in the end. I've also decided that what I have to do to pull myself out of the depression is just to stay as busy as possible, and hope I grow past it.

I’m continuing my grateful diary from the mood disorders unit. Today, they are:

1. Being able to share a lot of my depression with Liam.

2. Playing with the baby named Brooklyn at Jodi’s.

3. Talking to Mike at Jodi’s house a bit.
