An acquaintance today said she was having a bad day. I realised when she said that, that I don't view days as good/or bad now like i use too. I feel more balanced sense of who I am versus events that may or may not happen In any given 24hrs. That I have more control over how I feel, that a day doesn't have that strange powerless feel to it like it once did.

God I was such a mess internally once, I remember those days, its good to get reminders like that. I felt sad for her, not for her having had a bad day, though nothing outside her could be labelled bad, but that she is still tied to those old scripts, and feelings of being powerless and victim to her own thinking. I know this because that's how life use to be for me too.

Good for you, earthmamma!

I'm just starting to have days like yours. I no longer suffer morning panic attacks that would set the tone for my days. More bad than good.

For me, it took the right combo of meds.

It's good the bad days are in my rear view mirror.
