Positive things that I've done today #2

I had a good hearty laugh today.
I have not laughed like that in many years
It felt great

I washed a load of clothes.

Best wishes,
Gayle

I took a shower today.

Did a little bit of research for a paper. Went to see my therapist and had a good visit and got to vent some of my frustrations about my psychiatrist in a receptive and reassuring environment. Got news that I can get a brain scan at the hospital of my choice to figure out whether or not I have schizoaffective disorder or some neurological problem. Rode the bus without too much anxiety. And am going to go grocery shopping soon. Oh and took a shower and put on makeup today.

gave my friend a birthday card for his 28th birthday and a football shirt that he wanted.

Found out I got 75% in a History essay that I thought I had tanked in. I was deeply depressed when I did the essay so I am thrilled with the mark. Today I also managed to get some study done. My brain seems to be working better than the last week where I could do no study at all. Think the increase in Fluoxetine (Prozac) is helping lift my mood. I had decreased it to get rid of hypomania but I was floundering again so I bumped it back up. My pdoc doesn't want me hypomanic due to what it can lead to. I, on the other hand, am hoping for a return to hypomania. It is just so fun.

Cleaned the toilets at work. Only work an hour a week, but I worked well for that hour! Did the usual household chores, replied to emails, sat and read a book for a little while and before I knew it the day was over. Was too sad to come on PC.....I think I used up all my mental energies getting through all the doctors appointments earlier this week.

congratulations... what was the essay on?

Managed to get up and going despite fighting the urge to explode and/or cry because I had to

Finally got a referral to a specialist.

Managed to get up from bed. And managed not to go back to bed, even though I am so tired I am positively cross-eyed by now. (It is 3.30 pm here).
Also changed my bed and washed the sheets! About time...

Got out of bed late but still in enough time to make it to work by 8am after staying out until 11:30 at my boyfriend's house. Even had some wine and tequila last night...usually all these things are a big no no for me and I end up missing work the next day and feeling very down between the alcohol and not enough sleep, but today I'm up and actually feel positive...maybe these meds and my overall improved day to day routine are finally working well enough to allow me an every-once-in-a-while fun night during the week?...time will tell. I still have to be vigilant I know. But it's encouraging today, TGIF!

The Enlightenment Period

I showered. Was invited to lunch and am going even though it makes me nervous. Did one load of laundry and straightened the house. Will go to the grocery store for a few things. Registered my kids for next school year. I fought the urge to lay back down. Yay!

Booked flights to go visit my Mum (thank God for Airmiles)

Went to the rodeo parade.
The horses are so beautiful
They are truly art

Congratulations to wander on the grade! I'm about to find out how I did in statistics on monday. Nervous.

Today I got out of bed in time for work ( it was a close call though) and managed to turn a bad work day into an okay work day.

Went to work

Went to graduation. Well I had to for work, but it was also positive, very emotional though. Still puffy eyes. I teach high school special Ed, I am always a mess this time of the year, always somebody graduates on my case load. Very positive though

Worked on statistics for 5 hours (so far). Picked up my prescriptions and went grocery shopping for healthy foods.

Worked out really hard at the gym, went out to a sushi place for dinner (never used to be able to do that), and walked my sweet German Shepherd puppy.

I woke up and decided that I'm finally going to teach myself how to code since I have a new laptop.

I feel less "angry" or not even angry at all today and actually yesterday too.

That's huge progress, for me, personally.

I know it's not a "thing" it's more a state of mind - but for me, it's positive.

My mania is well - gone I think - I'm just hypermanic.

Hypo is fine.

I can deal with hypo and manage life with hypo

Went to the dump and got my tires changed

Cleaned my bedroom and bathroom. Gosh I wish I was a neat freak.
