Not to overshare on the internet, but I'm about to overshare on the internet. But it's relevant to my Japanese studies
To be completely honest I’ve been going through a depressive episode (smth that’s happened in the past but I thought I’d been recovering for good… just gotta remember that healing isn’t linear). Which means I’ve lost a lot of interest in the things I love, including studying Japanese. Or language in general. This is why I keep saying “I’m going to do this” and then… not following through. And now that I’m done with school and since I’m still job hunting, I thought I’d have more time for Japanese! But instead my depression has gotten worse and I’m still not studying. Ughh.
I’m trying to figure out how to still do the things I love while my brain’s like this. I want to read Japanese, I want to take grammar notes, I want to do active listening practice! But getting started is so hard. And staying consistent is even harder.
idk, guess I wanted to put this out there. Give a little context to my studying (or lack thereof) and find out if anyone else is going through the same thing and has any advice 
Since I haven’t done SRS for a while, here’s my review counts:
Ew that’s so many reviews. On the one hand, I don’t really need to do SRS anymore (especially WK). But on the other hand, I do like the structure it gives, and it’s an easy way to do a little bit of Japanese, even if immersion is more effective for me at this point. So I think I’m going to still chip away at these but not worry too much if I can
Also: randomly decided to update this study log today and it’s coincidentally also my wanikani cake day?
