I went to group and then to a friend's house. It kept my mind off the negative thoughts that have been racing through my head.

Yesterday I went to a Christmas dinner at a family friend's house even though I didn't feel like socializing. I was talking about how bad my legs hurt last night with my dad who asked, "what are you going to do about it." At that point I proceeded to fall over into the dryer (legs gave out). I did not respond with a nasty comment when my dad laughed and said "well, that's something but I don't think it's going to help." Instead I chose to take a bath and massage my legs.

Today I slept in because I'm not feeling good (even though I know it's likely to cost me my job on the mountain). I decided taking care of myself was more important. I called and scheduled myself a massage for today (caught myself feeling sorry for myself for being sick and hurting - my legs are so sore I can barely walk). So I'm trying to take positive steps to take care of myself regardless of outside consequences.

Well, I wrapped a late present and unpacked today. I guess I didn't do much right today, but it's a start!

((((((((Kitty)))))))))) I'm so sorry you're having trouble with your legs. Well done for taking care of yourself and I really hope you feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon too (((((trixie)))))

I went to my in-laws for a gift exchange and get-together. It went well.

I picked out a book just for fun and read it, but I also did some work around the house, so I feel a sense of accomplishment.

I have not been feeling great lately. So I have not written here. Nor have I been doing much to write about on those days I have attempted to post here. But I did put up a little 3 foot christmas tree. Thats huge for me considering I have not done that for 2 or 3 years. someone suggested it. I told her that I am not ready yet to resume putting up trees. But my own words haunted me. Until the next morning when I just put up a small tree and put lights and some flowers and balls on it. I am enjoying having it in my bedroom even though it took the spot that was dedicated to my humidifer, which now is likely angry about the entire situation. Probably is saying, I work so hard for her, and then she throws me aside when something prettier and shinier comes along. Anyway, I put up a little tree several days ago. Now I have to go water my plant before it droops further.
Thanks for this!

I have read a portion of the replies to this thread (not all!) and have hesitated in participating as I feel I have had nothing to report. My world is a shattered place these days. But I think I did something good today, in this alien landscape I once knew: my mom and I went for a walk. It's freezing here, and the mountainous remains of a blizzard have overtaken the sidewalks and streets. It was the first time I ventured outside since I arrived home--that's one full week.

Also, I ate a little more today than the meager portions I've been consuming. All healthy foods. I don't think I intended this stuff to happen. It just...did.
Thanks for this!

I just found this post and thought it is worth my time. I really struggle to say things good about myself. Today I did the right thing by being there for a friend and making myself go to work.
Thanks for this!

Hi (((((((Nola))))))) Welcome! Going outside for a walk is a huge accomplishment!!

So is being there for a friend and going to work!! ((((((((PleaseHelp))))))))))

I replied to a bunch of emails that I had been procrastinating about. It really didn't take long at all to write the replies once I got started!

I just wanted to thank you, sundog--I really needed to hear/read what you said. I need all the encouragement I can get these days.

To contribute to the thread, went shopping with my mom and carried home her groceries today. Walked some more after that.

I can't believe how much effort it takes to accomplish these things I moaned and groaned about before, or that I completely took for granted as mere errands or distractions.
Thanks for this!
