What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Lola Nocheprieta]

My health

My body, and the pain I feel that let's me know I'm still alive

My wife, and our little spats that lead to big make ups

My job, and the flexibility, trust and private office I have that enables me to be prof*cktive while actually freaking out at work

My health care coverage, despite the fact that they don't adequately fund their psych department and I can only see my T every 2-3 weeks

My T, for her wisdom, insight, earnestness, compassion and tenacity

My treatment team, for making me feel like I matter, and for the groups they run weekly (without which I would be much worse off!)

I didn't break my spine in that jump.

A long F bomb postponed. Walking casualty = I'm good, aka: I'm f*cking good, let's leave whiny PTSD bullshit to civvies and whiners.

 

[Lola Nocheprieta]

That my meds are still working.

That this last intense bout of severe depression was because I f*cking forgot to take one of my meds.

For my wife's business travel, giving me one night alone. Just one is all I need, every so often, for both of us...

I'm just glad that my heating is working again, even though I have to eaqualise the pressure sometimes before it will start to work. The plumber showed me how to do that.

He came and pumped some pressaue into it yesterday, saying that would fix it. Obviously it hansnt worked as I had to equalise it today, when I got up.

It gives you that nice cosy feeling to know it's working, especially on really cold days like today.

I asked for a new GP and I have a new one I like her. He is going to check my thyroides treatment, add vitamin B12 and D, plus more checkups . Lets see if I can develop more stamina :)

I am grateful:

I didn't fight with my mom again today
My daughter is having fun with a friend
Critter is really doing well..breathing so much better.
My place and hallway no longer wreaks of drugs.

 

[One step at a time]

I am grateful that stressors that used to put me in a very bad place now just rock the boat a bit.
I am grateful for a gentle end to a day that started rough.
I am looking forward to rest, soon.

Grateful that I'm being compassionate with myself in lowering expectations I'm placing on myself right now and not jumping up and down on myself regarding a job. Time to hold steady in one spot and just stand on the rock provided for me. Tending to basics for the time being. Keeping to self care and self preservation while keeping the job search on the back burner - sending out one app tonight. Fingers crossed.

Glad for an Einstein's coupon and the ability to make myself leave my apartment to go for coffee. I have another one tomorrow for a free bagel and smear! I'm going again. Also, glad for my free bagel a day from Panera for the month. Downside - I may start to be shaped like a bagel. It gives me an opportunity to leave the apartment each day though and I think it is good to be among the living even if it is a bit unnerving right now.

Grateful for the sun, its bright light and warmth.
