Since Saturday afternoon, I've been doing real good. Wow - almost 4 days in a row. That's like a recent record for me. I am really feeling the best I've felt since January.

At first when I heard about getting approved for the SSDI (that was in June,) I felt kind of uplifted. Then I went right down the tubes again with feeling like a failure yada, yada, yada. Now, I'm saying; "Okay, you know you don't face losing your apartment and ending up in a shelter. So start making this apartment fit for human habitation and see if that doesn't make life seem better." So I have been wacking away at the accumulated chaos, and I do feel better. And I am on a roll with cleaning and organizing. (This may be a bit of hypomania, but it sure is productive and sure feels good.)
