I have been seeing this psychologist for a couple of times and they gave me a homework to do for the next session, which will be tomorrow. The homework was to answer a university related mail which has been giving me major anxiety, and after procrastinating till the last day I did it.

I was so relieved I felt confident enough to, without prompting, answer a text of a friend from 10 days ago. And yes, though I feel ashamed of how late I was (especially because it wasn't even a stressful text) I still did it.

This is a very small thing but since my life has been completely stalled by anxiety to the point of suffering from some underline depressive symptoms, this feels good and, at least for the next hours, I won't be feeling the gut-wrenching guilt that always always weights on me.
