Diva, thanks for asking...I'm okay. Was rather down and out - now just sort of down and out. I have your saying "this too shall pass" as my screen saver. It inspires hope. How are you doing, haven't seen you for a while. Hope that means things are well.
Diva, I am glad your back! It sounds those things may be not on the upswing, you are taking it all in stride. I am glad you had a good trip!
Diva I go and let myself do pleasant fun activities and say a few curse words about the house. I'm not good at balancing. but I have managed to have more fun since I started this program. I did have on tiny success today. I cleaned my bathroom and dressing area. I can actually find something now (make-up, toothbrush, you know those things). I also organized my meds AGAIN. I feel I accomplished something. Then crashed and slept for 5 hours during the day. then went and had some fun and now for my computer time (I think the house may fall in around me).
I hope the other issues work out for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts!
Stardust, I am wondering if the time changed here this weekend????hmmmm I also show up from Canada but live in the US. I don't know how to change it. At one time it reflected I was 105 and I couldn't change that either. I'm glad to see you are making use of the program and already set a goal. I just did that day before yesterday - set three and already started one! I guess we are on the right track! Keep up the good work even if we are reflected as being from Canada.
Don't feel bad, we just missed you. Hope you feel like posting more often soon, until then just know that you are missed. We share the good and the bad around here. You know your in my thoughts and prayers.
I managed to get two areas of my house at least straight. One area- the bathroom and dressing area in my bedroom is CLEAN!. The kitchen, well, sort of, I cleaned out the cabinets, reorganized, picked up and put away and then cleaned. I haven't got to the floor yet. I also straightened half the laundry room and cleaned what I call my son's room, though he hasn't lived here in 3-4 years! I guess I should say the guest bedroom. Anyway, it is straightened up. Can't bring myself to do the floors - hate vacuuming! Hate sweeping and mopping. Oh and I fixed the garbage disposal that I didn't know was broke until I started cooking for dad! I hated cooking too, but I feel obligated. And yes, I cleaned up the kitchen again, after I finished cooking! I cleaned the other bathroom too and I have been doing laundry all day and I didn't take a nap today though I wanted to do that sooooo badly! I made myself work right through it - ugh! But I do feel I have accomplished something this weekend and I had a fun activity last night. I just wished I didn't feel so, so depressed!
I don't think the commercials are the bad thing, it's how they are done. Maybe they need to consult with someone with the disorder(s) to determine if it accurately reflects how it "really" is. I understand it is different for everyone, but we do have some common characteristics. Most of the ads or awareness things are from pharmaceutical companies here(Kentucky USA), trying to sell something. They are not about realistic things buy how miraculous their product is, its bulls***!
Wildcat, I think it is great that you are able to reflect and put things in perspective as well as prepare for the future. Have you identified triggers? Way to go!
