(((1hopefulgal))) ...

When it's on really, really bad for me, I choose one thing that I will accomplish each day ... Even if it's simply getting up, taking a bath and going back to bed.

I've had it for so long now, it's become an old familiar friend ... Sometimes that friend needs a little prodding though, so I remember what Mary (the psyche nurse from when I was inpatient) would say to me when she'd come in to wake me in the morning.

She'd pull the curtains back to let in a little light, and in the sweetest, most gentle voice tell me, "Come on, honey ... I know it's hard, but you gotta push yourself just a little bit".
