how has the start of the new year been?

have you been able to acheeve any goals so far, or notice any diffrences- either positive or negative in day to day life.

not noticing much change so far- still feels a lot like 2015

but then i honestly wasn't that optomistic about a happy new year anyway

I am emotionally better, but the characters of my troubles still live as my neighbors. I am optomistic that i will eventually be able to leave here. It is in ignoring these people that stir up trouble that is difficult. They invent things all the time.

nothing much has changed so far but early days at the moment time will tell

I've been to head busy to really notice....just another day in the life of AC2...

Started with a migraine....then a funeral from for a friends husband who died fron cancer before Christmas......but the close ones from our women's horse group all got together to support her. It gave me such a warm feeling knowing that I have such a wonderful caring group of friends I'm part of...an experience I've never had before in my life....for that I am so thankful & starting the year out with that reminder even in the face of grief has been such a blessing...reminding me of the wonderful people I am now surrounded by

I started the week between Christmas and New Years to get an idea of what I wanted for this year and its start. I'm in a new living situation after the death of my husband in October so I still have adjustments to all that to distract me and give me things to do and organize. I did decide to set a daily goal for my pedometer/steps and have met that for the last week, even when it has been hard and I have not wanted to (I have to wander the halls at night to get it up to where I want it :-) and keeping at it has made me feel good about myself.

I feel a sense of renewal but also a marked increase in anxiety over the past few days due to all the big changes that are coming our way during the next 3-6 months. There is a lot of work to be done to get through the changes and I am hoping that I have enough motivation and energy to get everything done. It is all very overwhelming at this point but I am trying to work through that feeling so that I can be productive in getting ready for the big move.

I haven't noticed time moving since sometime back in October, I guess. I usually measure the movement of time by holidays, rather than seasons, as in my part of the country the seasonal changes are minimal.

Don't recall much before Halloween and it seems as if I've just been laying in bed since then. My birthday was in November, then there was Christmas and New Years and nothing has changed over three months much less over the past 8-9 days.

A couple of days ago I found photos on the web from my uni reunion taken in 2009. Everyone looked so OLD. I had to look hard for any resemblance in the photos to the people that I knew then and I failed 98% of the time.

My uncle – my last remaining uncle – died last week at 84. That may be the first mark of the new year for me.

And I am having the most incredible delusions. I wish that I could just continue in them and believe them because they are so much more life affirming than anything else I might do. To be honest, I can't even say how I spend my waking hours any longer. I don't watch television, read, use my "big" computer, etc. I have my iPad in bed with me and I frequently will just read news articles for 30 minutes and then doze for an hour.

My psychopharmacologist allowed me to run out of Seroquel and I just looked a few minutes ago and, yes, I am experiencing some of the symptoms of withdrawal. She would kill me if I told her that I looked it up on the net because she has this belief that no one should know about the drugs that they put in their body.

And, for whatever reason, I feel angry again.

Welcome to the new year, each and every one of you.

Everything feels the same for me. I have high hopes but I don't know why, they never turn out...
