Positive things I’ve done today

I made dinner, and made some plans for a party coming up that I've been putting off.

I took a soothing bath today, I felt so relaxed.

I went and saw Franz Ferdinand play and danced and jumped around in the crowd.

I went to an ACA meeting to get out of the house and be around people (it's Adult Children of Alcoholics and Other Dysfunctional Families).

I had breakfast here with the homeowner, I made crab cakes for my dinner, I called a lifelong friend long distance.

I've been studying all day. My concentration is crap, but i keep trying.

I told my neighbor the difficult news that I need to pay her less for her help. I have taken four days to get to doing this. I hope she gets over with her denial that I will continue to pay her the same.

This was very difficult for me to do!

Today, I looked for a dog to adopt

I did not find the right one - but she/he is out there

Had a down day
Just relaxed all day

Went out into the world.

Kept an appointment and even slept for 4 hours-can't sleep the night before an appointment.

Found out that because of my age and the circumstances, they are going to have a special hearing for me that will take about a year. Usually takes 5 years to get a decision from the VA changed. I can't even imagine what it's like to live above the poverty level.

Interacted with my roommate (who drove me). We are different genders and different colors and get along so well. We fell asleep on the couch tonight watching tv together.

Spent too much time here, but I just feel so at home here. We are all special people.

I can hear ya on that one T&S. Good luck with your hearing proceedings.

I awakened too early.
I have taken my meds this morning with food, though I am not hungry.
I am trying to not be alarmed at increased tremors this morning.

With discipline, I contribute to this forum by sharing some advice with the community.

Have a great day, I wish success for all of you!

Forced myself out of the house to go to a doctor appointment for a physical that my insurance requires, and went grocery shopping. Will have lunch with a friend soon to, once again, force myself to get out of the house.

Today I did a whole bunch of those things that you know you have to do, but keep outting off

I listened to my neighbors plight and commiserated with her. I am going to take my mother out to eat soon.

I sympathized with my husband even though I wasn't feeling it. I researched new doctors and left messages with 2 who specialize in bipolar (or appear to), I studied at work for a big exam and got through one section which I wasn't sure I would, and I haven't overeaten even though I really want to.....

Go Starting go!!!

Called my Mum and let her know that I am okay (she worries)

Got myself to PES, a place I thought about last week, only took four days to get myself there. Got sleep meds, agreed to look into partial programs.

I'm very low so these were big for me today. I took a shower, I put the clean dishes away and dirty ones in the dishwasher, and I came in to work. I've only been here half an hour and will probably leave any minute now because I can't handle being here, but at least I tried which is better than what I wanted to do!

Had a really good session with my T today. He has some good ideas about how my husband and I can work through our communication difficulties stemming from my depression.

I slept! A really deep, great sleep. There were dreams, but vaguely and I'm still hung over but I feel the best I have ever felt in months! Yeah, sleep meds!

Today I joined this forum, and started talking with my wife about ways we can stragetize to cope with my 'events'.

I threw out some old speakers that I was keeping for some
unknown reason.
They don't work

That's so good to hear. Facing down the hard parts of an illness can feel--and is!--a wonderful triumph

There are some days when it is really hard to find any positive accomplishments,
but the key is to remember is that there is always something

...as I struggle to find something positive
I can say...I put on clean clothes, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and had oatmeal for breakfast.
