Hi all..
So today has been a good day! I started my volunteer job at the charity shop today and met some nice people I was somewhat awkward but they were very friendly and I seemed to fit right in. Today has also been a massive day for me. I got up at 6am, showered, had breakfas, coffee, did my make up and got dressed. All seems pretty normal for most but for me that was huge as I usually sit around in my pj's sometimes not even bothering to shower! After my triumphant get up, I also managed to get to the bus stop and take a bus into town all by myself!! I can't even remember the last time I did that. It wasn't easy, the whole time a little voice was in my head slamming my every effort but I kept at it and made it through the day!! I am back there on thursday and then put in a full week next week. My weight gain is still a major issue...its eating me up inside I used to be a 12/14 which I was happy with but then with all these different meds I have had during the past couple of years, I have shot up to a 16/18 and it doens't seem to be stopping. I keep catching glimpses of myself in shop windows and mirrors and can't believe my reflection. I look horrible. Havn't had it in me recently to diet but am hoping I can build on todays success and start a diet tomorrow. It's so difficult, especially in a wrold that judges you by the way you look. The last thing I need to do is add to my paranoia. But anyway, enough of that, I should concentrate on the good and today I really did do good |

Congratulations on your success. Doing things like this can seem insurmountable for those of us with problems like bipolar disorder and others I know. I'm extremely impressed with the bus ride. Figuring out a bus system is a daunting task. We have one here, but I wonder if it wouldn't take me a long time to understand it. Thank goodness I haven't had to figure it out yet.

And I am so impressed with "I got up at 6am, showered, had breakfast, coffee, did my make up and got dressed," especially with how early you got up to do all of these things. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress!
