Simply stated...I am more functional. Not in a better mood. Not feeling more capable - but I *am*. I am more able to complete simple tasks that would otherwise defeat me, like doing more than a single load of laundry, cleaning the floors, doing the dishes. The most mundane of things had been leaving me incapacitated, and suddenly I can do one thing, and then another, and then another.Im still a Loser. My self esteem is crap. I dont sudddenly feel confident or elated or happy. Im still a sad, defeated woman. Im simply able to get through the day with more ease.
