I was wondering how everyone's mood is today, and also if there are one or more things that have helped today (even if only for a while). distractions etc, kindness from someone, a sunny day, a flower..?
Hugs and kind thoughts to all

mood is fine. therapist made no comment on it today, so I presume I am stable...? then again, I have no idea. she never really does comment unless I ask. lol.
what has helped me today w/ my anxiety was talking w/ my therapist via video chat. was very relaxing for me. |

Dear Fuzzybear,
Thank you for your hugs and kind thoughts for us all! That is so sweet. What helped me today and helps me every day is trying to help other people. There is an old saying that goes: "One can endure anything if one has a reason to live." I feel as if there is this mysterious undercurrent of compassion in the world and things fall into place when I let myself drop into it's current and be swept along with it. Can't really explain it and my English is not that good. I also want to send my hugs and kinds thoughts to everyone too. Sincerely yours, Yao Wen |

heya,
Today has consisted of coffee, walking the dog, doing dishes, smashing a load of aluminium cans, and organising things for the eventual move. All these have been good for the spirit. To take Yao Wen's old saying on a tangent, they have been good reasons to move. Right now I'm having my second coffee and reading the interwebz. Cheers, Fuzzy, for asking about the things that have helped.

Hey fuzzy, great post!
Today I spent a lot of time cleaning around my apartment and doing laundry. Cleaning, despite how much I procrastinate on doing it, always makes me feel much better. So that helped. Also, I only had 1 cup of coffee instead of my usual 8 so my anxiety seems better. Another thing that will help after is playing my ukulele, it's a lot of fun and a fulfilling hobby

I'll be receiving phone calls from my pdoc and from my therapist in a little while. Frankly, I'm not looking forward to either call. I feel like I don't have the energy for them today.
Hopefully I'm wrong and will feel better in a few hours.

firstly, thanks Fuzzy!
mood? frankly, I'm in one of those states that makes me ask, just what exactly is mood?? so, i'm not sure what that's really called. I'm in a weird mood, not just as simple as confused, but more of a variety of feelings...i guess in simplest of terms though, I'm not fully in a good mood, not even in a "meh" mood, but not entirely in a "bad" mood...well, maybe I'd just call it a negative mood. mood: negative ha! that looks and sounds so weird! Things that help are pretty much all of the above (that you mentioned Fuzzy.) watched a funny movie last night (distraction), kindness from someone(s), and the sunshine (I almost always feel a little better in the mornings).

Hey Fuzzy
Thanks for this. How are you today?My mood is steady and grateful. I did several chores and exercised. I talked with my brother on the phone for a while and then did an art project with my kids. I took a brief nap and now I'm heading to the back porch to play cards with my husband. I'm looking forward to a nice weekend. Much love to all! |

The Skeezyks' mood is pretty-much the same as it always is... resigned.
 One thing that did help was taking our dog for a walk in a local park on our sunny afternoon.

Okay, the phone sessions with pdoc and T were good. I HAVE to get a webcam and mic and I don't even know how to hook it up and whatever...I'm so lost on this.

My mood is good today. My teletherapy with my therapist last night helped as did a call with my daughter today as well as looking at the big bouquet of blooms I picked off the snowball bush in the back yard.

Mood: blunted, moderately low
Mood Lifter (briefly, anyway): a couple of dog videos on YouTube

Mood is very good today. Happy it’s Easter. I listened to one of my Catholic podcasts today while drinking coffee. It was very inspiring. I took a shower too so that definitely helped. 😃

I'm feeling slightly down and low energy today. It's only just after lunch and I sort of feel unmotivated to cook the nice dinner I had planned, and the dinner hour is hours away. I saw a thread that asked what people were craving. I can't say that I crave anything, but to not feel this way. To feel at least a bit better. Stuff is seeming overwhelming. I haven't been able to support others here as much as I'd like. I read that some members are in pain and depressed, worrying about family members, and more. I am sending hugs to all that need it
 , and very much hope that pain and distress ease soon for all. I feel bad not being able to offer more right now, in a better manner. I won't ask for support, as I am not nearly in the distress as others are.

Mood is fairly okay this morning. I have spent so many major holidays alone that It is normal now and does not make me feel sorry for myself. I'm fine with just me. I know how to keep busy. I don't need someone next to me to feel okay. i have me, my HP, and you guys!!!!!!!!!

Mood: a little low, but I'm grateful that it's a calm low and not an agitated low
Getting in a workout and a walk in the rain helped as has resuming working on my calming music playlist |

Mood is okay, not fantastic. Not really sleeping right now, so, already up and at 'em. Physically unwell and that is impacting my mood.
