What did you do right today?

Worked a bit experimenting with techniques for a workshop I'm giving. Had 30 min. phone social time with a friend. Walked with Sherman along the river and fields, listening to Aretha Franklin and Nat King Cole. Took trash and recyclables to recyc. ctr. Took another walk alone to de-stress.

Went to the chiropractor, feel much better, pain is mostly gone. Went to DBT Skills group.

Completed the draft of an agreement and sent it out. Stayed on my low carb diet by eating more veggies at every meal.

Made an effort

Went to the gym and worked out even though I was really tired.

Good going everyone!!!

I did a guided meditation exercise and it was relaxing and energizing at the same time.

I made it to therapy, where I discussed the discrimination presently going on at work, where I adopted a better attitude at how extremely boring my new job will most likely be, where I got a better feel for reality as it is, discussed the book my T recommended, Wherever You Go There You Are, and felt understood and cared for by my wise and thoughtful therapist

Took myself out to lunch at a cheap place right near therapy, made a banana, milk and honey blended drink, helped my friend Rob set up his facebook account, talked to my friends Melanie and Susan, hugged my boyfriend for a long time and generally felt good about life, about my recovery, and about beginning my new jobby job next week!!!!

Awesome, Junerain!

Did the very tedious task of testing software bugs and detailing product requirements. Not my favorite thing to do because it's a very lonely task that requires a high level of concentration that after a poor night's sleep I find challenging. I have "pushed" myself to do the task and am close to getting it done but am going to take a break now.

Even though I've had a horrendous week... horrendous - is that a word?... anyway, with breaking my ankle, sick kids, sick dog, up all night, I still got up early and got us all to school for my son's IEP meeting. (Individualized Educational Plan - for special needs). I got through the meeting, took notes, asked questions, stated my opinions and didn't let them bully me. Plus I still got my coffee and got to work on time. That's what I do.

By the way, I'm really proud of all of you who are working out and eating more veggies! Awesome-sauce!!!



This thread rocks my Kazbah!

I went to a local meeting on community-building, i.e., I showed up. Went to therapy and did errands.

Went with my sis to buy some groceries.

Went to team meeting. Attempted to take a nap. Went to DV support group.

LOL!!! Thanks ((((((((freshpearl))))))) Go you!!

Ok, well today has just started...but yesterday, I didn't drift off into oblivion, I kept to a normal routine until I had to go to T...went...and waited until a quiet time to talk to my husband.
Today, I plan to continue my small list of getting things done and not being stagnate...I do feel better when I am active.

Yesterday: I went to work. Am making major progress on the filing! Met with my old T - we hit it off right away, she only wants me to focus on my BPD for right now so we can get that back under control, she told me how proud she is of how far I have come in 6 years, and that she is very impressed that I've had a steady and healthy relationship for almost 4 years . Went to girls' swim meet. Met a friend. Folded some laundry. Made supper.

Worked out. Took it easy without stressing, which is a big change for me!

Didn't get angry at my cat even though he scared me so much he made me wake up.

Well done everyone!!!!!!!

Today I got my hair cut

Went to chiropractor. Picked up some milk. Picked up a rx. Went to dinner with my mom.

I received a call from a former colleague from decades ago, a Pdoc (love this man - he was hiking when he called me ). He made medication suggestions which I took to my Pdoc app't a half hour later. Potential side effects scare me, but that's another forum. I stopped trying to prepare for a workshop when I was getting frenzied over it.

Really good to see you posting again ((((((lavie)))))) (even though it's only been a day!!!! ) but I know that things are a struggle right now so just wanted to say Go You! for deciding to give these new meds a try. Really, really hope they help

been telling my t some stuff finally. stuff i thought i would never tell anyone. but its having some side affects. that may get worse yet. but i think it was right to tell. i hope.

So proud of you ((((((((((((((suzzie))))))))))))))))) WELL DONE
