@Britt.f7, I hate free time, too, it's always bad for me. Maybe just try to do any one little thing, it doesn't matter what. Deciding and starting is always the hardest part... so move through that stage as quickly as you can. The longer you take to decide and start, the harder it gets. (But...

Goals for today? :cool: Stay calm and balanced :laugh: Make sure the final bit of Christmas shopping gets done and that more presents get wrapped :coffee: Put together the menu and grocery shopping list :D Make sure grocery shopping gets done :rolleyes: Some cleaning :joyful: Go out...

:joyful: I'm grateful for my life. The trauma and neglect I've experienced have actually made me stronger and smarter and better in a lot of ways... well, once order is brought to the chaos. Today there's order and very little chaos. :cool: I'm grateful that today's a good day and I plan...

Challenged. :eek: Motivated. :laugh: Proud. :cool: Excited. :wacky: Happy. :) Calm. :joyful: Relaxed in an active way. :rolleyes: And maybe a tad bit worried that it's crazy I feel this way and think I know how to sustain it, even though I'm also sure it won't last. :roflmao:

Whatever! :) Maybe I'm just taking a day off. I'm doing great and all is good in the world. I'm sure I'll get some stuff done today, but even if I don't, that will be okay. :joyful: Wow, how zen of me. :eek: Freaky. ;)

I'm actually excited about answering this one today, because I'm feeling very, very grateful! I'm so incredibly grateful for this forum. :laugh: I'm grateful for my friend who tells me the truth even when I can't hear it and have no way to understand it. :p I'm grateful for music...

@Madhather, Yeah, panic attacks SUCK! I'm so sorry you have to deal with them right now. That happens to me every time I go to a [medical] doctor's appointment and then I have to explain over and over why my blood pressure is skyrocketing. It's annoying and awful and then my blood pressure...

@Broken Dave, I'm so sorry you had to go through such awful experiences. So sorry. It's really good that you're getting help, though. And I think you'll really like the forum. There are a lot of supportive people here and a lot of great information, too. Welcome to the forum! D123

I was nice and calm on Friday and rested a lot, instead of rev-ing up more and turning into the Energizer Bunny (she keeps going and going). I drank tons of water, did some fun things. :) Okay, the tree is up and the lights are on. Victory! :D More to do, but it's always starting that's...

I'm grateful I'm feeling so good today. It's really because now I know about PTSD and I'm better able to manage everything. :joyful:

Happy. :) Calm. :joyful: Proud of myself for a few different reasons. :D A little tired. :unsure:

A little tired. :x3: Content. :joyful: Somewhat energetic and motivated. :D

Best of luck getting these trips out of the house done with as little anxiety as possible, @Britt.f7. I'm rooting for you every time. :D Goals... like I said yesterday, plus I want to get some of the house cleaning done, at least a start. :joyful:

I'm grateful for my friend who makes me smile and challenges me. :p

I really relate to this. I find that if I get sunlight, exercise, water and food, everything just goes better. Getting the first two helps me to manage the second two more easily. I find when I don't eat or drink water, I'm more likely to have problems. On Wednesday, I didn't eat because of...

Love your attitude, Alba! :) I truly need to do more of that myself. ;) @Junebug, :hug: if you'd like them, sorry you're feeling scared! I'm so sorry, @amethist, that is really hard. My husband's father and uncle are both doing poorly. It's difficult. What am I feeling today...

Okay, so I'm running behind schedule... My goals for today were... :eek: To get to therapy and do good. (And I did, it was appointment #3 with the new guy, and it went very well.) :confused: To manage my anxiety and my slight move towards mania. (Did really good there, too, I think. (We'll...

Today, weirdly enough, I'm grateful for my husband. We went out for Christmas shopping and a date night and it was really fun. :joyful:

That's great news! :) :) :) I remember that drama a couple years ago now. Yikes! It's so nice that it's all settled this early.

On Tuesday, I did end up going out and getting sunlight and getting exercise, good for me! :) And today at the hospital... Jeez, it was an awesome situation for me to TOTALLY FLIP OUT a couple times, and y'know what, I did GREAT! I was totally calm and good the whole time, just like a...

I'm grateful for music. :whistling: I'm grateful for my family. :joyful: I'm grateful for my friends. :smug: I'm grateful for everything I have, I'm very lucky. :cool:

I went out last night and it was definitely fun. I felt a little disconnected, but y'know, it happens. :cool: Today I've got an appointment at the hospital (for medical stuff not psych) and it's routine, but hospitals TERRIFY ME OUT OF MY MIND. Survival is the name of the game today. So far...

I'm feeling basically okay with some anxiety mixed in. :cautious: @Definitely..maybe, I'm SO sorry you had to go through that. :hug:

Let's see. I did pretty good with my doctor's appointment. Minimal freaking out, which, honestly, would have been like a miracle a couple months ago. So, hey, better than pretty good, pretty awesome, actually. I did a tiny bit of Christmas shopping, but it worked out okay. We went out to...

I'm grateful for all the friends in my life. I'm grateful for my family. I'm grateful for my warm, wonderful home. I'm grateful for my goofy pets who always make me smile (we have two guinea pigs and two hamsters). :joyful:
