I feel good today because i decided yesterday i would take up fitness as a hobby and walked for about 40 minutes, did three counter push-ups, three planks and good stetching. Today is a rest day as i am just starting. I feel sore from yesterday. I really enjoyed napping today -- my muscles hummed. I cut back more in my diet, skipping my pretzels and soda today and pouring out most of the olive oil i put on my veggies. For snack i will have raspberries instead of taco chips. Progress!

Again.
A week of true happiness and stability. Not hypo at all. Only to have it fade away last night and so far into this morning. Not sure if it's the crappy weather having an effect on my mood, but please make it stop. I feel like a yo yo. |

Did a lot of work today. Talked to the pool heater repairman.
Bell rang. "We are here for the pool heater". "OK" 15 mins later. "We replaced the end cap and clamps." "The system is running fine". "Thank you". The other guy: "Thank you!!". "OK". No bill. Life is good. I'm sure they'll call. Exhausting!!!. Pirilin will swim. ![]() |

I'm kind of depressed again today. I keep waiting on a friend to call but she doesn't. I've called her a couple of times and she seems friendly but never calls me unless she wants something. I used to go to her house and help her sew quilts but she hasn't asked me recently. I'm afraid I wasn't doing a good enough job and she is just not going to ask me again. It was like the only thing I did that brought me joy. I miss seeing her and visiting while we worked. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to force myself on her.

A day of random thoughts and messages
My brain is too noisy to think

Life got pretty hectic, so I haven't been around this past week. Been doing pretty well. Activity level's been up. Talking with random people. Some early wake ups. Spells of irritability. Agitation. One stress meltdown, relatively minor. One monetary overwhelm breakdown cry. Mostly pretty level though.
Getting caught up in lots of activity plans. Aim to keep an eye on it. Productivity's good, but certain other upswing signs do need to be acknowledged. |

Today was a struggle. It was hard to get started, but I finished work ok.
But what's weird is I'm happy in my home, or maybe just because it's the weekend. But the thought of leaving my house is overwhelming and gives me some anxiety. |

I felt so miserable this evening, lonely and depressed that i tried to think of something i could do to make myself feel better. I recently started exercising and dieting again and that's going well but my hours have slid around the clock again this Winter and i think it's time to address that. I'm sleeping in til noon and dozing away the afternoon and then up for long hours after midnight, in the pitch dark and complete isolation.
So i'm gonna set my alarm for 7:00am and start keeping regular hours. Keep to a schedule. Shower every day. Eat my meals at appropriate times. Take my dog out regularly. Go to bed early. I will enjoy the longer hours of daylight as i am starting to feel like a vampire. I'll enjoy having a more predictable day and it will be easier to tackle chores like laundry. I'm looking forward to it! Wish me luck! |

Still waiting on the background check, but made myself get out of the house 4 days this week. I feel like I earned my weekend at home, alone

Every day is finding balance... it is often overwhelming. Then I think, who cares...

I think most of my problems these days run from being either depressed or overmedicated. I have zero "get up and go" .... I don't like showering anymore, which is huge - I used to shower every day. I don't feel depressed but that's equating depression = sadness and not the other things depression can be.
I can think and function; I just don't want to. |

It's my first day getting up early at 7:00am! I picked a great day as it is sunny out. I've eaten breakfast, taken a shower, taken my dog out, bathed her and am almost finished a laundry! All before 9:30am! Yay! I had a slight headache from sleep deprivation as i only got a few hours sleep but i took some Tylenol and it went away. Aces!

Terrible cold today. Big hacking cough and my chest hurts.
When I feel physically ill, it's easy to go into depression. Hope this cold takes a turn for the better today.

I talked to my sister this morning for two hours. That has never happened in the 30 something years we've been able to talk. She shared personal struggles with me I thought I wouldn't hear. I feel closer to her. It also put me in a good mood, so I'll actually do some cleaning around the house instead of laying on the couch and watch TV all day.

Mildly depressed.

I got up at 7:00am for the second day in a row after sleeping in til noon all Winter. I slept well which was a happy surprise because sometimes when my sleep gets off track it takes a few nights to adjust to falling asleep early. Not this time! I went to church and quite enjoyed myself, especially the singing.
