How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

I went to the art museum with my father in law. I grew very tired. I am very tired now, but I promised my family I would try to stay up, for a little while longer. I did have a good time. Glad I was out. It didn't feel as overwhelming as I thought it might be, but, maybe, that is why I am tired. That and I don't usually get that much exercise in a day. Lazy.

Clear something up. I am not lazy. I feel lazy because of my illness and the fatigue that sets in. I hate it. I've got to stop thinking of myself as if I am a lazy person. I'm not. I am thinking in negative terms and that definitely does not help in the acceptance of it.

I managed refuting my irrational distorted PTSD thinking. It took a lot of energy but I did do it. I also tried to be mindful of my breathing.

Bit stressy. Got to get ready for the wedding.

Got to cancel today's volunteering.

Got to withdraw from university.

My day has been fantastic because my daughter went over to my home and stuffed her car with some valuables of mine and some lamps from my bedroom. She is such a good daughter to do something like that for me. I am going to go and get my nails done later on today.

Going to see my med nurse about the new med he put me on. Still do not feel that I'm doing all too well on it. Not sure what he is going to say. Afterwards I'm going to the pet store for special food for my cats. Hopefully they will have it.

Britt, I remember waking up each day not wanting to face it. It went on for many years. You are so amazing the way you keep on going and do not give up. Sure wish you would not be so hard on yourself.

You get out of bed and you do and go places with others and you keep in touch with people and you are a very loving and kind person. I applaud you for your courage and your bravery in facing each day. I think you are doing the very best you can with what you know right now.

I am having a good day. I have accomplished so much today, not my usual sitting around and feeling exhausted and worn out.

@gizmo Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes it helps to have reminders. I'm hanging in there and still going about things. True. I get inspiration from reading your posts of how you are doing. :hug:

Things are settling in for me as I am realizing that I have to pick out a new therapist. I've hung on for a couple months, really needing a therapist, waiting for mine to come back from maternity leave, only to be told she is not coming back. All this time I have been hanging on for that moment. Now to start over. Those are my thoughts for today. I'm told I will get a letter that may have some recommendations on it. I hope so. Nothing in the box today. I really do think I need the help of therapy.

My day has been wonderful. So many of my days are now wonderful. Kids bring so much life into a home and my daughter is such a joy. I have had such a great day celebrating daylight savings time.

Today was a gloomy depressing day for me managing the side effects of a flu shot I got yesterday. I keep on forgetting that I will have some down days. I want so badly to feel good all of the time. I guess I am in La La land. I just need to focus on each day as it comes and get the best I can out of the day.

As a handy woman I was trying to cut out wood from pieces that makes a TV stand. So my mind is busy with creative things. At the evening it went down. I was at my parents house, to eat. At least when I was back I needed a sleep. But heavy deep pain was back arising in me. So I needed to swallow it away, after tasting it. Guess my body is still a bit tired using the treadmill for 3 hours the day before.

I received a letter from my therapist explaining that she has decided to stay home with baby. It's the official letter from the clinic, but she hand wrote her email address on their and asked me to contact her. Why am I having trouble with this? I knew it was coming, though I did not expect her to send her email. Did I say I have abandonment issues? Even though I knew this was a possibility and I am very happy for her. I'm just having a hard time contacting her.
