I’m pretty well and hopeful. I learnt so many techniques from my psychologists that now that I’m at my worst, I’m coping pretty well.
I don’t want to express here the hard times I’m going through now because I know some people is going also through hard times and are very sensitive.
But, let’s leave it in me not having the best moments, just as my avatar shows.

So far so good. Could do with more coffee, though.

I'm doing a PHP starting tomorrow and I'm on a waiting list for a DBT group which could start in two weeks or two years... I do have an individual therapist that knows DBT too so while I'm not doing the group I'll be doing it with her.

I hope your not so best moments end soon. Glad to hear you're coping well!

This day is only halfway over now, so more to go. I was busy this morning with some light errands. I felt let-down after it's over. I feel depressed and anxious and I don't know why. There's nothing wrong going on in my life; but I keep thinking something bad will happen soon. With the way things are going for me now I should be happy and joyful. But I'm not. I don't know what it is.

Regarding an issue at work, I'm feeling very discouraged. It's a lonely thought, that there is abolutely nobody in my corner, advocating for me. Not even the ones who are supposed to be. My husband is with me in spirit, but what can he do?

In fact, everybody I know seems to fall into one of two categories.
1.) Those who genuinely care about what I need, and
2.) Those who are in a position to do something to help.

It seems nobody is ever in both categories.

I’m in the process of reducing my dosage of antidepressants. And who knows? Maybe, it may be a matter of time to get rid of any meds. But, I’m gonna take it little by little.

I’m sorry. I lived a similar situation once, at work and it’s very disappointing.
I also found another category. The ones that seems to care and are on my part but they don’t want to dirt their hands. In other words, they don’t want to move a finger for anything, they prefer others to do the dirty job.

I'm still enjoying a good streak of feeling well. Mornings are a challenge. I'm fighting the wish to back to bed.

Not having a good day. A week today without my four legged baby and I have to be strong for my other baby but I’m not having a good day to be honest.

I did my cleaning in the morning. Today has been gloomy as it's been cloudy all day. I took a bike ride at the end of the day and felt good because it's cool and cloudy instead of heat and a bright sun. It's been a fairly good day for me.

I just got some tests done, which I'd been putting off. They show, among other things, drastically deteriorating liver function. I attribute this to my extreme alcohol abuse. After over 8 years of sobriety I relapsed about seven months ago. I'm shocked my liver function could have deteriorated so much in so short a time. Still, this is a topic I'm going to have to address soon, or else I will encounter major medical problems in the near future.

I pretty much never drank when I was "young," but unemployment and all else are getting to me now. I hope you find a way to undo the damage.

earlier today, I was really excited because I discovered that an online review I posted for a company got published
that was until I read it and came to the conclusion that like everything I do, the review was ****. it was only a few lines and not the best spelling either, so the excitement from that didn't last too long

also my body aches and pains are really showing themselves and I'm all creaky too. not really helping with my mood..

Why? You couldn’t afford it? Or you are an addict to buy?
Some days ago, I read an article about Retail therapy.

I think I'm trying to kill myself, but I'm too afraid to just go out and do it. So I'm doing this instead.
