I feel relieved. I slept through the night without weird dreams or nightmares.

I learned in therapy that there is a future out there for me if I break it down into small steps.

I'm feeling a bit confused at the moment. Perhaps a nap will clear my confusion.

I learned that none of my traumas were my fault. It took forever to get this to stick but thankfully it has.

I feel a lost. Like I'll never find my way.

I'm very anxious today. I'm hiding in my house today. My psychiatrist decreased my Abilify down by 5 mg. I've been super anxious ever since. Tomorrow I have therapy so that should help.

I too want to play with the toys in my therapist's office but don't say anything. Once she had me pick from a basket of plastic animals as to which one I was and where I stood in relation to those close to me. I still want to play with the animals. I often bring a stuffed animal with me to...

Please don't beat yourself up over having stopped your medications. I have Bipolar Disorder NOS in addition to PTSD. And I've done the same thing in the past too. I think that at some point I cycle upwards with my Bipolar and feel better. Then I stop my medications which is followed by a...

I love to knit, read and cook. When I first learn to knit it was frustrating for me but over time it became relaxing.

I watched coverage of the 9/11 memorial event from NYC. For the first time I allowed myself to remember and I cried. I've never been able to watch memorial coverage before without needing medication. It felt good to remember the people I lost that day and to grieve for the person I was before...

Today being a day of remembrance for me (9/11) I am happy to say that I am okay. I am happy to be alive.

I feel grateful to be alive today of all days.

I'm feeling less grounded and more scared.

I feel calm and it is weird. I just started taking Depakote for my Bipolar Disorder and it is calming me down. I'm feeling terrified of the possible side effects. I've only read negative comments online about Depakote but it is helping me. So I guess underneath it all I'm feeling scared.

I've lost 6 lbs so far. I haven't been swimming in a while. But I have been walking. And also making more thoughtful decisions about what food I eat. I've cut out white bread from my diet completely. It's just empty carbs for me. Unfortunately, my medications are in the process of changing...

Sorry I haven't been here. I was down dosing off lithium and experiencing side effects. I've lost four pounds by walking and watching what I eat. There are probably going to be more medication changes in my near future with new medications being added in. I hope I don't gain weight from...

I feel lost. I'm having trouble focusing on one thought.

I am slowly feeling better.

Congratulations!

I feel like I'm starting to improve but am on unsteady feet. I just went through a depressive phase of my Bipolar Disorder and some PTSD symptoms kicking in. I'm starting to come out of it now.

I feel better and have hope again.

I'm feeling very down. Almost like the world is crushing me.

I overdid it yesterday and took today off to rest.

Yesterday I made it 10 minutes on the exercise bike. Today I swam 4 laps in the indoor pool (it is larger than the outdoor pool I can make 6 laps in). I did some PT exercises too. I went grocery shopping and was more aware of what went into my cart.

I went to the pool and did PT exercises and swam 6 laps. I didn't use the exercise bike. I will definitely use it tomorrow though. I'll weigh myself next Monday.
