I'm going to the arts and crafts thing today in my building at 1pm. Not really in the mood to socialize but I'm sure I'll feel better once I go

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better

I was just thinking last night to myself, wow it's been a long time since I've had a headache, then I woke up today with one and still have it this afternoon

Taking tomorrow off of work. I totally overloaded my schedule with this volunteering at Church this week. Plus I might take my niece and nephew to a wildlife sanctuary tomorrow.

I got this little gem from the crisis line: It's a breathing tool.

Breathe In Help GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

I found it pretty helpful, actually.

Last year my hair stylist talked me into putting blonde highlights in my hair. Well now it's like my hair is almost all blonde. Uh, no. So I am going to dye it back to brown.

Blue_Bird, if it's any consolation, when I first started college (after a few attempts at starting at college), my psychiatrist moved to a different city so I had to find a new one. Anyway, the new psychiatrist wasn't as good, but that's not the point. I guess what I'm trying to say is you're clearly a resilient person so I think you will be able to handle it. Also I took a history course and an English course when I first successfully started college as well. I hope you can find some solace in the fact that you're progressing. Anyway, hopefully that is somewhat helpful.

I also understand that it's really, really hard to lose a support person like that though.

Thank you WA, that is helpful, I appreciate it

I'm glad you were able to get through college. That gives me hope

I had a headache since I woke up in the morning. Took two ibuprofen, they didn't help. Still had it all day. Tonight I took one more ibuprofen with a cup of coffee and it finally went away

Today has been pretty good though overall. I had fun painting that t-shirt at the arts and crafts thing. I also took a walk to the store and got some stuff I needed. I mean the heat was miserable but getting outside and getting some sort of exercise always helps me feel better

Also watched some anime. And had nachos.

Took a shower too

I'm actually getting myself new clothes. It's been 3 years since I've bought any new clothes for myself. I know that may be weird but it's because I disliked my body so much. I've worn the same 5 or 6 shirts this entire time. They're so worn out.

Honestly it’s the best thing you can do. For me my old clothes were so tight they made me look even heavier. Once you get clothes that fit it’s easier to have a positive body image.

Yeah I'm hoping it helps me. I'm going to build up my wardrobe, replace pretty much everything over the next 4 or 5 months. I'm getting 4 new t-shirts this month, and 2 new pairs of fitted lounge sweatpants (I have jeans that fit). I'll probably get 2 more shirts next month, I'm also forcing myself to get my haircut and eyebrows waxed in a few weeks. It's been over two years since I've gotten my hair cut. It's too long now, so annoying to deal with. I'm also getting a new pair of sneakers finally.

I am wearing that shirt I painted. I didn't realize until I put it on that I accidentally did my painting on the back of the shirt instead of the front, so there's nothing on the front of my shirt, the design is on my back. Feel stupid
