That was a bad decision! I need to pull myself together and continue to use the tools I know work for me.

I am complete exhausted and have to go to bed now!

Best wishes to all!

Washed the dishes. I'm really glad I got that done. I also did a load of laundry. I have shorts to wear now. Lol! Later Wednesday I will clean litter boxes, work on my computer a little and do some art projects. I want to have an easy day. Wishing everyone well!

In some way or other I overlooked possible triggers yesterday, sat right up and down for hours without eating and more ....

I went to bed in the middle of the nigh and woke up with acing muscles, a headache and a lot of thoughts flowing back and forth, really problems with concentration and problems with how to keep focus on what tasks that have to be done.

I have had my breakfast. I have filled my pillbox for the rest of this week and for the next.

My next task is to clear the dinner table and put some dishes in water.

Be well all!

Putting pressure on myself to leave the house to go pick up meds. I don't need them yet but they are ready. It's like hanging over my head. I haven't left the house in a month. There's a lot of anxiety. And I have to take the trash out. Something else I'm anxious about. Maybe trash today and meds tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your struggles, Deilla! Anxiety is a terrible "thing".

Do you know of any kind of relaxation exercises? If you do, try to use them at least for some minutes. If you don't know of some, I can recommend some if you want that.

I hope that you succeed with taking the trash out today and that you are able to go and get your meds tomorrow.

Have you heard about Mary Ellen Copeland? She was an inpatient that nobody tough could recover. She did and then started to do research. She has now developed a system called WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan). It is about finding recovery in one's own tact. (Almost like we are doing together on this thread).

I write this to remind you about that there is hope for us all. (I need to hear that as well).

It is done! I am starting to recover from the feeling of shame because I failed to recognize ... It is only about how to move on with life, now, (like a mother taking care of her sick baby: "You can do it, if you just do small amounts at the time").

My next task (after having a cup of tea and some bread) is to clear half of the table in front of the coach.

Be well

Deilla, I am sure this is not the best day to post a link to a program for depression and anxiety. Today you have more than enough to be able to come through the day ...

So, may be you can look at the link I post one day when you feel well enough to reflect a bit. Then you will be able to think about if this is something that you want to try.

Done!

I will relax a bit and then continue with the other half of the table in front of the couch.

Be well!

It's done some ours ago. There where informative programs I wanted to see at TV, so I did not have the time to come back and report that the work was done already.

I am grateful, very grateful, that the opportunity to use this thread exists also in a crisis! THANKS!

I will observe myself the next days to be able to notice if a down-trip is on its way (but not bother you with that ).

I hope to have a normal life tomorrow. May plans for Thursday are:

- Up at eight o'clock
- Eat a good breakfast
- Put my suitcase outside to have fresh air
- Load the dishwasher
- Shower
- Lunch
- Make a plan for the rest of the day

I wish everyone a good a Thursday either much or little is done!

Thank you for your support. I was able to get the trash out and I asked my mom to pick up my meds for me. So that worry is out of the way. I just need to figure out how I'm going to get out of the house. Maybe a hair cut. I don't know though. I appreciate the link. Sounds like something very helpful. I will have a look. Seems like you've been getting things accomplished. That's great.

Feeling lots better this morning! I ordered breakfast from my favorite restaurant last night. It helped cheer me up. I have leftovers for today! I got plenty of sleep yesterday. I started working on my laptop. I have to ship it to Dell for repairs. Almost got it boxed up. Later I will clean litter boxes and open packages. I also hope to do some art today. Maybe work on some of my classes. Wishing everyone well this Thursday!

Oh yea... I scheduled a hair cut for Saturday. I'm looking forward to it. I think I can do it. I feel calm about it.

I was not a good observer. First I took wrong medication and fell to sleep for hours of the day. Then I let myself be occupied with something else then I should. The only things I did right was:
- Eat a good breakfast
- Put my suitcase outside to have fresh air


Well, there is nothing else to do than to try again:

- Up when I wake up
- Breakfast
- Shower
- Load the dishwasher
- Lunch
- Grocery shop
- Home and put every thing on its place
- Relax and think of how to use the rest of this week and the next

Good wish and hopes for each one of you!

My daughter has been in town so I’ve been involved in doing things with her. She leaves in the morning.

My plans for tomorrow are:

1. Life coach session
2. Make phone calls
3. Straighten the house
4. Float in the pool.

Warm wishes to all for a peaceful Friday.

I've had a productive day today. I cleaned litter boxes, straightened up in the bedroom, took out the trash, did some art and opened packages. I also worked on some online classes. Most important thing I got my laptop shipped off to Dell for repairs and I fixed my other computer that had driver errors. I'm going to try to relax now with a book. Maybe sit in bed with my cats around me. I might doodle too. Hope everyone is well!

I accomplished the life coach session and floating in the pool. I’m always so sad for a few days after my daughter leaves that I don’t get much done. Starting tomorrow...chin up and forging ahead!

Warm wishes to all for a peaceful weekend.

My depression has reached new levels. I have slowly become more depressed over the last days. I wasn't able to do anything yesterday. This morning I cried during breakfast (only because I read a sad article in the newspaper) and a lot of the symptoms in the formal diagnostic list occurred as well.

I don't know if this has something to do with the Mindful exercises or if it depends on the reduce of 1/3 of my antidepressant medication two weeks ago. I found the experiences very upsetting and chose to set up the dosage.

I will send a mail to my GP.

I will take it easy today (only buy food and try to eat regular meals).

Tomorrow (Sunday) my only goals are regular meals and to visit Church. (May be, if I feel for it, I will visit the class for a new Mindfulness lesson, may be, may be).

A good weekend to each one of you!

This morning I have done some reading and I fed the cats. Later I will get a hair cut, clean litter boxes, change the sheets on my bed and open packages. I hope to do some art as well. Then I will take it easy. I have new books to read. Wishing everyone well today!

I didn't get my hair cut. I had too much housework to do. I will try to cut my hair tomorrow. I did change the sheets on my bed. I opened a few packages, did some art, made a blog post, did laundry and read a little. I think it's time to relax. I might doodle. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
