5 things I can't do without

Everyone has their own things they can't live without, right? I already have! Below you can see what things that are for me, and why this is so.

CELL PHONE

A little cliché maybe, but my cell phone generally goes everywhere with me. I am a very introvert person and, apart from my partner, have no friends living near me. My whole social circle is online. These are mostly people I got to know through gaming, or by being pen friends in my youth. Outside of this, my mobile phone is also my alarm clock, my calendar, my calculator, my entertainment, and occasionally my e-reader (if I forgot mine at home). I currently have a Huawei Y5 2019 and I am very satisfied with this.

Bullet Journal

This actually fits a little with my cell phone. Also my Bullet Journal I drag with me everywhere. Almost my entire life is written down and mapped out in my Bullet Journal: To-do's, appointments, summaries of appointments with my psychologist/psychiatrist/general practitioner, gift ideas for family, blogging, phone numbers, savings goals,... You name it. If I lost my Bullet Journal, I would lose a part of myself (and probably my common sense too). I'm currently using a dotted Moleskine in A5 format, in a cover I ordered on Etsy. My Bullet Journal can be seen in the picture on the top left. At the top right is my Narllis Chapter's notebook, and at the bottom of my therapy agenda.

Books/E-reader

I'm a little reading addict, I must admit. I have a bookcase full of signed books, and the ones I bought that weren't signed, I sell after reading, or I give them away to people who have to live with very little but still want to read. For Christmas 2017 I received a Kobo Aura e-reader from my parents. This thing goes with me as well as anywhere, when I know I'll have time to read. I have a lot of books on this, so I will not soon be without reading material. In the photo the cover of one of my favorite books the last few years.

Antidepressants

Boom! There it goes. Taboo. No, seriously. If I didn't have antidepressants, you wouldn't be reading a blog post of mine right now. I need them to function as human beings. For a month now, I've been prescribed new antidepressants, and I have to admit that I'm a lot better now than that month ago. The side effects were not a joke at first, but now they are almost under control. My anxiety attacks are a lot less, and I have more fut to things again undertake - Yes. I may never end up in the regular work circuit again, but I have a little hope for my future, and that means a lot when it comes from me.
