... when you have so many friends who suffer with anxiety, PTSD and so on and not really any close friends who don't.

 

[Ronin]

... when you're so thankful for all the friends-sufferers because they saved your life so many times with pointers where you're wrong
... when that Anxiety Girl above is, oh finally, a superhero you can try to be even on days you feel like shite, and it makes your day (and we're back to thankful) ;)

 

[Recovery4Me]

@Kaia ...exactly! A superhero that makes us feel better about who we are in the moment.:hug:

When staying on task, talking to people, making eye contact, and remembering everything you needed to leave with is an accomplishment.

When you feel afraid because you have to call a landlord for a flat...as soon as it is for me...I'm hardly able to do any important calls.

...when THE WALKING DEAD mirrors your reality....

When i find myself homeless and living in motels and making an adventure of it despite the god awful feelings and trying not to what if and should myself.

When you realise you've spent a lot of money lately. But you don't need to worry about it because you are that experienced at saving money by going without.

 

[Let It Be]

Have been going to this place to get my meals on a daily basis to bring home to eat. The meals are reasonable price and I am eating better because I just do not like to cook just for myself.

What is bothering me, is that this is almost too good for me in that I am having a hard time accepting it. I guess it is bringing back memories of the time when I was married with no money for anything.

I will continue to do this but it sure is making me feel uneasy for some reason. I am really taking care of myself this way as there is no stress in doing this, but definitely will need to take it day by day for awhile.

... when you think you have to buy something from a restaurant each time you use their ladies room, even though you are a regular patron of theirs. In so doing, you raise your calorie count for the day way past where it should be.
