Very crabby and depressed tonight. Having this thread to work on is a nice way to pull out of that at least somewhat. I avoided talking to folks today so as not to take it out on people. I caught myself being too talkative when I was at lunch with folks (which I worked on pulling out of - sad that it wasn't more successful). But this is a "did right" thread! I exercised and ate better than sometimes, and did some chores for the neighbor who hurt her arm (horse kicked it), and fed the horses, and tried to make my communications today pleasant rather than needy. And... I read a trash novel to keep myself distracted. And worked on a volunteer project. These are all fragmentary things but I am working on keeping them going. I also appreciate that this thread is here to be part of managing the off feelings. I write lots of words - it's not really that I'm doing that much - but focusing on even the little things where they can be seen IS a help. Have a nice night!
