@downandlonely - Congratulations on #4 - "Blood sugar getting into normal range." That's what I'm shooting for as well. And kudos to losing some belly fat and volunteering and work going well. Yay!

So sorry you are struggling.

These are not things you deserve, nor are they "good" things.

You deserve friends, having relationships, having loving family, spending time at least online with friends, and being connected with society. All of these internal messages are indicators that you are feeling down about yourself and about the world around you. I'm so sorry you are struggling this way.

Some good things (affirmations) are:

1. Deilla - being just the way you are, and accepted the way you are!
2. Deilla posting online here. Yay!
3. Deilla reaching out for help in whatever way Deilla knows how.
4. Deilla doing what Deilla can to self-care and manage psychological and physical issues.
5. Deilla!

1. Vet Centers for veterans (they offer free counseling for combat and MST survivors, as well as free social activities and other resources)

2. People checking up on me (how sweet; I feel the love!)

3. Free Thanksgiving Dinner from the Vet Center (if you're a veteran or know a veteran, you can call a local Vet Center to see if there are any Thanksgiving Dinners left to give away; if you are a civilian, you can call either 3-1-1 or 2-1-1 in your area to ask for resources for free Thanksgiving Dinner giveaways for needy families and individuals)

4. Holidays (even though I spend them alone, I find ways to make them feel special and worthwhile - at least online)

5. Giving (there's nothing like the spirit of giving, which is a form of helping; it feels great to help brighten someone else's day and sometimes to also declutter)
