Today was pure gravy!!! 1). I took all doses of my meds 2). I took my booty to bed at a decent time last night. 3). I went to a football game. My team won 💙AND are now 6-0. 4). I went to see an action packed movie. Today was a true wellness day....😊 Plus I had NO symptoms all day. I was super nervous about going to the game. I usually get really agitated in large groups of people. Oh I went to Walmart after the movies. I truly felt like the old me.
I'm having a good weekend....so good I had to share it.

My team didn't win, so that sucks. One of my kids had a major meltdown, and that sucks, too. The positive is that my husband got paid yesterday, so I could pay the bills, that's a good thing!

Mine has been c.r.a.p, so I have nothing too happy to share. But I wanted to contribute to your thread. And your day sounds very nice, good for you doing good things for yourself.
 I do like to try to find a positive in all the mess... so I can actually happily say I had a nice time at Kmart today with my 18 year old daughter, we hung black curtains in her bedroom. She was very happy about it.

Finally got time to be lazy! YAY! But it is too much time. The only time I leave the house is to go to Doctor appointments, grocery shopping, too get refills on meds and to work with B/F. Well B/F is a truck driver, locally only. His truck broke down Friday and we have been at the house ever since. We have 7 boys living in the house at this time, his 4, 2 of mine, and 1 who is a "stray".
 I feel like I need to clean behind them when we are home, and they make BIG messes. SO messy I am stressing. I want to leave the house now. That is saying something, because I have to MAKE myself leave the house. OOPS, sorry so long!

Hello everyone,
Coco good to hear you have been doing so well. Hope everyone's Sunday is the best day of the weekend so far. As far as my weekend has gone so far...Friday night I was pretty depressed, made a nice dinner at home but couldn't shake this debilitating crap feeling. Saturday I went to an Oktoberfest event and I had a lot of fun there with my husband. I spent the rest of the day drinking which is probably not ideal but I've been so stressed lately it was kind of nice not to think about what makes me anxious and depressed...I was just enjoying myself, letting loose and shaking away the feeling I've had for so long...if just for a little while. Today I am going to watch sports...I am an NFL and MLB fan so I have a few games that I'm interested in. Probably going to be a lot more low key than yesterday. It's just nice to be off from work and not be as anxious as usual. I feel like I can be myself for a couple of days. -KAT |

Had a pretty good wk end here. Took kids swimming at the indoor pool at my school yesterday. My hubby rented a movie I have wanted to see; we watched it alone last night while kids slept over at his dad's. THAT WAS AWESOME! Today I haven't done much- hubby and I made breakfast together and knocked out the grocery shopping. I had some school wk I meant to do to kind of get ahead but I just wanted to laze around... Only downside- we are having a really rough time atm financially.

Not a bad weekend. Working from home stressing me out. Wish they wouldnt call on my day off. Feeling stressed because I really should work on it to make my quota for the week. Other than that. Been a really good day. Came back to PC after being away for a while, and really enjoying my time here
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as well

Friday evening I cleaned in anticipation of my case manager coming on Monday. Saturday I went to a NAMI workshop on Recovery. Came home to a cold house so I called the gas company for appliance repair because I pay a monthly fee to cover my gas appliances.. They couldn't schedule me until Thursday! I cuddled up in bed or my lazy boy for the rest of the day. Today I saw a ad for a room heater and went and bought it. It helps a little.

Friday was chill...watched a movie with the boys. Saturday: lovely; took the boy to the forest preserve for some Autumn nature time, took lokts of cool pictures. Made awesome lunch and dinner in the crock pot. Sat pm good; went with some friends to a haunted house that had strobes (which I hate) and I thought I was going to have a flashback or a seizure but I survived
Sunday was productive; baked bluberry bars for brekky, got shopping done, made a homemade pizza for dinner...but I feel like poo right now...I feel sad and like my body belongs to someone else. I wish that I would just figure all of this crap out. I have a headache and I think reefer withdrawl boo.

It's good to hear what everyone else is up to and how they are doing.
My weekend has been busy. I rarely have any social occasions, and 3 of them landed on this weekend. So I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed from all of the activity. Plus I thought I had made a huge error in my budget. Thought I was about to be negative $200 or so in my bank account. That freaked me out, and I started going through the spreadsheet where I keep track of everything. "Worry" was the big topic of this weekend. I was at each of the 3 social events, worrying about my bank account the entire time, figuring out if it would help to cut money from gas and groceries, maybe pay a bill late without getting phone or utilities cut off, etc. Kept telling myself it would do no good to worry, so I shouldn't worry, but then I kept worrying. Sat down today and went over the budget again and figured out where I had made the mistake. I'm not going to be overdrawn, but I'm going to have to be very careful for a couple of weeks. So that's the good news. Meanwhile, I still have not adjusted to the change in meds. Still feeling down.

It's nice to see that most everyone has had a good weekend. My weekend has been alright. Friday night we spent the night in. Had a rather anxiety inducing conversation with my niece on the phone. Also had some company show up out of the blue, which was nice. Saturday was a decent day also with some more anxiety about the family situation with my niece. Youngest son got engaged. We started our annual Wii bowling tournament with my parents - we lost, but we'll be them next weekend. Came home and enjoyed an evening veggin in front of the computer. Today was alright till about 7 this evening. Went to worship with my family and went shopping at Kohls for a new coat and a couple of things for my parents. Found an awesome coat and got a great deal on it. Went to my parents to drop off new stuff and then took one of our kids home. The wife and I went back to Kohls and this is where it took a turn south. Tried on some jeans only to find that they were too small, got the next size up and came home. Tried on the new jeans 42x32 and they too were too small.
I've gained 30 lbs in the last few months due to the Zyprexa, but didn't realize that I've gained 6 inches. That left me feeling sad, angry and frustrated. All in all it's been a good weekend, just ending on a little sour note. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm really long winded sorry all. Flip

My good weekend continued ����. I had a few close negative situations but I retreated. LOL. Today I went to church and fed my soul. Then I attended the Service of Hope Healing Arts Project, Inc.
The Healing Arts Project, Inc. (HAPI) provides an avenue for persons in mental health and addiction recovery to express their creativity through a wide rage of artistic endeavors. In his way we raise awareness in the community and help combat stigma about these disorders, thus promoting understanding, acceptance and success. I really enjoy seeing the art created by people in recovery.
