I wish you luck with your interviews.

I don't have much but being free and taking care of myself are a bonus. The doctor told me to return sooner if I have problems. I also can take more medication if I'm too stressed out. So far, I'm ok. I love myself and my life that God gave me. So, no time to feel sorry for myself. I am taking it one day at a time. I do see a rainbow now after the storm. I choose to be ok and happy, not down and out. I hope, of course, things work out for me. I am nervous about my interview but will survive. No matter what happens I will continue persevering. Thinking about my past, I've come a long way since the days when I hated taking my medication. I am past this now. I need to focus on what I can do for myself and do my best with what I have.

I’m glad that you are feeling better :hug.

There are always

something to : be thankful for

Recently I have been coping by using the love I feel towards these wonderful forums & all of you.

Deilla · Jan 12, 2023 at 12:24 AM

I've been coping by journaling and reading affirmations.

Discombobulated · Jan 12, 2023 at 08:22 AM

Exercise and healthier food choices have helped me feel more energised today.

me too!! i did some writing in my journal and that helped a lot..

Deilla · Jan 12, 2023 at 09:15 PM

I've been posting in my therapy room. It's helping. And I'm reading.

I got a quick glimpse of "normal" this afternoon and it made me feel confident and happy. It didn't last, but it was nice. I've decided to break my MO and watch an actual movie tonight and put the laptop away, so I can actually pay attention to the movie. Hopefully being proactive instead of reactive is one small piece of the path I need to get myself on. We'll see.

Breaking Dawn · Jan 13, 2023 at 07:07 PM

I finally ate something & I think I was actually hungry all day & didn't know it.

Buffy01 · Jan 13, 2023 at 10:18 PM

I been watching my favorite movies today. In the hope my bad day will turn around

I’m glad to hear that.

Buffy01 · Jan 16, 2023 at 02:02 PM

I’m watching self help video and journaling to figure out what I need to do to be happy with my present.

FloatThruThis · Jan 16, 2023 at 04:43 PM

I’m coping by watching a lot of television and movies in a room by myself with the door shut.
