Done for another year.
What lies ahead for us all?
I need to work on self-love. I've been ignoring it lately.

Me too! And I'm extra-happy because usually it feels like the holidays go on even longer because my birthday is in 3 weeks and since my parents had 3 kids with their birthdays all in 4 weeks from Christmas it always felt like the time of celebration of things didn't end until nearly February. Then my brother wasn't involved much so that meant I was done at my birthday. But this year I should be IP for my birthday so I've already announced it's delayed (this is the one year I want some kind of celebration b/c I'm turning 40 and somehow that feels like an accomplishment) and we will celebrate in March or so.

New Year's is a non-event here, so done, done and done!

I feel worse today than I did yesterday. At least yesterday I had my family to distract me. But I'm glad the stress is over.

I am thrilled I made it through the holidays. I was psych hospitalized shortly before.
New diagnosis, new meds, new year.
I really want to focus on making myself and my health top priority. i tend to back burner myself for far too long. My big new year's resolution is to get back to exercising. I have gained over 120 pounds on psych meds over 17 years. I used to be a super skinny ballet dancer. Sigh.
But every journey begins with a single step. I'll never be that tiny teenager again, but i shouldn't let that stop me from getting healthier. I really need to get healthier in all ways.

I'm soooooo glad it's over. I think this year I may also need to work on self-love/self-esteem. I know I'm my own worst enemy. It's incredibly difficult to be nice to oneself in the throws of depression.

I enjoyed getting together with my family; but, I, too, am really glad it is over.

I feel that ol' deadness creeping in though. I hope my meds can keep me level.

I am also feeling restless. My life is sad, lonely, and boring. Trying to think of positive steps to increase my quality of life.....without going hypo with it........

Its a lot of pressure, isn't it? Or maybe a lot of it isn't really there...we just put it on ourselves.

I only had one dinner to go to throughout the entire season on Xmas day with some lifelong friends...and I still would have rather just stayed home. I don't do a hell of a lot of things anyway these days, but I want to be able to pick and choose what I do and when I do it myself. Waa waa waa...I'm so abused! Lol.

I have family around me and I feel the same way ... gift giving and receiving has always been torture to me ... I feel so far away even in the same room ... eating masks the pain ... all I ask for the new year is to be less painful than last year ... a new start I doubt ... to not lose ground is the best I hope for ....
