Physical condition 6/10. A week where the lethargy remains the same, but I've gotten used to the waste disposal facility
Adjustment disorder recovery diary, weekly review
August 3, 2026
This week, it felt like the lethargy was right by my side the whole time. Even so, I feel like the number of things I've "gotten used to" is gradually increasing.
Perhaps being able to notice these small changes is because I've continued keeping these records.
🌿 Today's physical condition
Physical condition 6/10, mood 6/10.

・7/29 Took burnable waste to the disposal facility.
8/1 Requested the injury and sickness allowance application form from the hospital. I was able to transport non-burnable waste, recyclable waste, and burnable waste to the disposal facilities.
■ I've gotten used to the waste disposal facilities
Honestly, I was quite nervous on the first day I went to the waste disposal facility. At the first reception desk, I was looking away and was told, "It's not that way." I didn't understand the procedures, and I was worried about what others were thinking.
But as I went for the second and third time this week, I realized I was able to move around without getting lost. When I brought in a broken vacuum cleaner, I was told, "It will cost 150 yen," but when I explained, "I have it in a city-designated bag," they let me drop it off for free. It was a small interaction, but I feel like I'm being helped by these little kindnesses.
I realized that the moment "the first time" turns into "the usual" is surprisingly anticlimactic.
🌸 3 good things from this week
I felt lethargic, but I was able to walk and jog. Being able to move my body even when I felt exhausted was a surprising bit of persistence on my part.
I've gotten used to transporting burnable and non-burnable waste to the disposal facilities. I'm surprised myself that a place I was nervous about has become a place I'm used to visiting.
I had a counseling session. Talking to someone gave me a sense of clarity in my mind, and it gave me energy.
📝 Reflection on this week
Although I have some lethargy, I was able to get a certain amount of sleep. The tinnitus is still there, but there has been no major deterioration in my physical condition. I want to continue with exercise and activities while watching my health, without pushing myself too hard this week.
Looking back on the week, I feel that the accumulation of "firsts" gradually turning into "the usual" is definitely progress.
May I be kind to myself tomorrow as well.
