@Sammyiam & @gizmo I'd like to join the two of you on your daily routines. I am going to try to use the exercise bike for 15 minutes tomorrow. I am also going to the pool for PT (physical therapy) exercises and to swim laps. I'll write back tomorrow to tell you how I've done.

Beautiful sunny summer day with a light breeze.

I just found this thread and thought I'd write. I've gained 100 lbs in the last 12 years mostly do to inactivity and medications. I need to lose a whole person. My goal is much smaller than that though. I want to lose 20 lbs. by the time winter hits so I can fit back into my good winter...

I realize that I am overtired today and need to take it easy. Normally I would just push through the day.

I have therapy tomorrow and will discuss what is really bothering me. I'm hoping my bravery will pay off and the nightmares will subside.

I am feeling overwhelmed. So much is going on in and outside my head. I'm adjusting to a lower dosage of medication eventually coming off it all together. Today I am a mess as I fell asleep and didn't take my night medications. I just want to cry. So much is unraveling before me.

I am feeling competent. I am off one of my anti-anxiety medications (done under a doctor's care) and I am feeling emotions for the first time in almost a year. I had an emotional meltdown last night but I was able to deal with it so I feel competent. I can take care of myself even if that...

I am feeling drowsy and worried. Under my doctor's care tomorrow is my last day on a medication. I am worried that my super high anxiety will return. I pray it won't. But at least I'll start to know which medications are causing the drowsiness.

The psychiatric appointment went okay. I was shaking at the beginning of it I think from my nerves. It calmed down halfway through the appointment. I was kind of all over the place during it. I'll go back in a month. Today I'm still feeling anxious and tired.

I am feeling anxious and sick. I'm anxious over going to a different psychiatrist and filling out the intake forms. They always trigger me badly. I don't adjust well to new people and situations.

I am feeling positive and hopeful today. My mood is elevated and it is getting higher. I hope and pray I don't go manic. That would be no fun at all. Maybe I just had a good day.

I read it awhile ago and thought it was good. Have you tried her CD: Healing Trauma? It is guided imagery for PTSD. It calms me down every time.

I am having a good day so far. I am feeling good. My spirits are up despite some nightmares. I got through it though. And am wondering how long it takes my new medication to be effective because I am feeling better. So I think that it is kicking in. I think I figured out why I was sleeping...

I'm feeling tired and a little lost. Maybe it is the change in medication dosages that is knocking me out cold for so many hours or maybe just plain old depression is doing the trick. I slept for another 14 hours again. This is not good. I had no nightmares this time which is good.

I am feeling tired which defies logic since I slept for 14 hours last night. I keep sleeping like this and don't know why. I'm starting to get concerned.

I am feeling a little tired. I overslept and had a nightmare. I'm trying not to trigger myself further. And trying to remember that was the past and this is now. I am safe and okay.

I'm sorry that you are struggling. Going to church and meeting new people sounds like a good start to build a support network. I just recently got a new therapist and dreaded the process. But it has worked out. If you start with a new therapist and don't like him/her you can always fire...

I feel lost and defeated. I just went to KMart and dissociated while shopping. I'm at home now and more with it now. Shopping was no fun at all.

I am feeling stronger than all this garbage inside and outside my head. I need to set more boundaries. Thanks @gizmo.

I was having a good day until I got triggered big time. I am dealing with the aftermath. I'm still fighting even though I'm feeling like a little kid again and not in a good way.

I am feeling too well rested. I was sick last night and fell asleep at 6 PM. I woke up at around 1:30 AM and again at 8:45 AM. I was in so much pain all I could do was sleep. I never sleep like that. Therapy went better than I expected it to go. I can't believe I got all worked up over...

Therapy went okay-I brought my stuffed dog with me. It was so good to have him there with me. What a comfort. I started to dissociate only once and my therapist caught it and brought me out of it. All the while I felt safer hugging Cuddles.

I am feeling better after a long nap. Everything always seems better after a nap. I am still scared about my therapy session tomorrow though. I wrote my therapist a letter and emailed it to her at her request. I don't know what her reaction will be. I'm scared to talk about the childhood...

@gizmo Hang in there. This day will pass and tomorrow will come. I though that I healed from crap too but it is back. We are both stronger than we realize.

@gizmo I'm sending many many big hugs your way if that's okay today. I hate it when old ghosts pop up. Hang in there!
