You woke up this morning ,that's something good another day and another opportunity to improve yourself,I realize deppression can make someone not really enjoy their life and it can suck to get through those days, sooner or later a better day will come,be there to greet it .

I'm having similar feelings. I like the excuse to eat but other than that I'm not happy about it. Really don't want to see the family today and have to deal with everyone asking how I am.

Turkey day is just another day any more,my care aide when he goes home makes dinner (single father of four) and the next day brings me more food than most people can eat ( I have a hyper metabolic problem that is affecting me currently, 2 ND time around with it and I need 5,000+calories a day or I lose weight so turkey day was made for me ,he wonders were I put it all considering i am 114 pounds,my wheelchair weighs more than I do its 475 pounds) so consume mass quantity people even if it is served with a side of awkward family time,and for those that don't feel like eating or being around people midnight leftovers when nobody is around is your friend, just don't watch me eat I give new meaning to gobble gobble! I do gravity transfers (also known as up hill down hill) and you can bet that all that turkey will help gravity,and remove the "it" and I do alot of that on the stuffing(the stuff on the plate not my stomach) ,that should leave you all with funny images to digest . I am watching the dog show as my service dog watches me,I think he is envisioning me turning into a pile of kibble, he is one big ball of appetite and fur.

I recently read a great article about all that is concealed behind "I'm fine" on the mighty website , you might be interested in reading.

It's the social norm to ask, " how are you" but how many people really want to stop and listen ,or even look behind the mask that people wear in saying " I'm fine " .

I won't be doing anything different today then any other day. Tomorrow will be my Thanksgiving because my only niece & nephew spend today with their mother, not their father, my brother. Divorce...
