What is Something Good You Did Today?

[TLight]

This morning I woke up more hopeful. I understand my diagnosis better and I felt grateful for having a good therapist who hasn't given up on me.


Today I want to move forward and the sun is shining here in the Pacific Northwest..........which is like a Godsend for those of us struggling with intense depression.

Today I felt like perhaps my life isn't a waste and I can contribute and not be so afraid of getting trashed.

So far so good.

I went for a walk and interacted with a few people on the street when they asked how I was doing today. It was hard but I did it. Many gardeners were out in the community gardens welcoming both the sun and the early flowers.

I have some things to say to others above me in this thread (good things so please dont be worried or anything, I just am trying to remember so if I write it here hopefully I will remember) but I would like to say to you Blues in NY

THANKYOU (a big thankyou).

I went out to day also, it rained and I almost twirled in it!!! and I thought of everyone here, everyone that has helped me and input here to me today, -the good stuff that has come my way, I just want to say it can work here- it does work here. I know because it is working for me and while yes I do know it is hard, life is never easy, and thats the god's honest truth-we all know that. But today there was no storm- it was just rain : )...and it felt good to be alive and to just stand in it.

ok so I have to try to go and warm up a bit now...got soaked earlier but I am laughing at this too...well maybe not crazzy laughing or anything but I am soo for sure smiling so....its all good.

what a good idea.. to write something with no negatives...
I decided to fight the avoidence temptation today.. I took my little westie for a play on the sand and treated myself to a yummy caramel icecream, as I watched mute swans gliding around in the marinal. Yes I'm glad I got up, got dressed and went out. The day has been encouraging.

I was outdoors working in the yard, the majority of this day, and the whole yard now looks great!

Oh' and the reason why this was good, is because it's outcome is all-around-good, and additionally this work is so very much spiritually healing for me.

I went to the dog park with Annie, keeping up my one dog park visit a day commitment. She actually had a really great time. I had a really great time with her. Spending time with her really calms me down, and there is no social stress. I also stuck up for myself when I thought some people were asking far too much of me and I had started to have an anxiety attack. That was good. ^-^ Also, we found out that Annie can (minimally) swim, because she just upped and jumped into the water.

I got a hurting friend to see a good therapist.

I only had half a scoop of ice cream, and replaced the rest of the ice cream with a banana.

I cleaned a fish tank .

Thank you for this thread....it is a really good one.

I hugged my best friend instead of shaking his hand.

 

[Definitely..maybe]

I cleaned my dads house for him!

I enjoyed today instead of being negative and stressing and worrying.

I paid some bills for my daughter today since she has not gotten her spousal support check yet. She still has an a attorney to deal with her nasty ex and we still have the water on. They were going to shut it off, because they never got her check. I feel good about that.

I wrapped all the presents so that my husband won't have to bother with it on the 24th. There are a couple at his office that we had to hide there, that he will have to wrap, but, other then that it is all done.

Now, if I was really good, I'd keep working on the laundry that he usually does. Maybe tomorrow.
