Self-help.

I figured that my inexplicable low mood may be due to my unhealthy lifestyle.

I was talking to Sham and while we both feel extremely unmotivated to achieve anything at all this sem, I realised that not only do I feel unmotivated, I feel OLD, SLOW and LIFELESS.

So... I've decided to treat myself better :)

Hopefully it lifts my pseudo-depression and slows down my ageing process :X
