I am just starting the whole process and the program as I needed to work on my sleeping issues, they are a big source of negativity and a big take on my day. i went to my doctor and hoe gave me some immovane or whatever that generic brand is and it seems to relax me and get me to sleep..but this took forever and finally my body is getting the handle on it..I also stop doing everything any everything 2 hours before bed..before that i get the most out of my day...
I like it well enough and I try and keep busy..I am looking into working out as I am a little overweight and that is causing many effects for me..so bit by bit i am making changes..I will get back to everyone and let them know how i am doing on the program..
hey and thanks for all the great chats..you guys are really helpful to me
Limited time on the computer as the kids take over and we only have one.
I have looked at your healthy weight site and i have to say it isn't bad! Lots of great ideas and recipes and people are really nice. It has really helped to be do something different and not the same old thing day in and day out. My wife has helped me schedule just me time to focus on my depression and to take some time to myself.
This is helping somewhat..eventually i will start the program and hopefully it will help also!
So the only thing I have started is the journal..one I do at home..as i mentioned before i cant near this computer until school starts and I have more time to actually start the program. if feels pretty good to write in it everyday for a while or even sometimes a quick sentence of what i am feeling....
The journal is going well and I bought one for everyone in the house...when i ground the kids or need to be away from the wife we all write in our journal! I never thought it would work..my intention was to get them off my back so i could write in my journal and use it to help me...well it turned around and now everyone is writing!
My wife wants to make a scheduled time for it..but i convinced her to let the kids ease into and for us to do it on our own time...baby steps everyone!
i am surrounding my self with positive activities and events.... I have started going for walks by myself..but my head starts to go negative and it pushes me to far... I think i might walk with the wife for now..she is a good listener.
I got one of the kids to lend me their Ip3 player or Mpod..whatever! No easy task! And they loaded it for me with a few choice songs...the wife was sick last week so I was in a panic and happened to look at your response..your right this was great alternative to walking with the wife...I even went a little faster and it was kind of calming
Thanks very much..I would have never thought of something so simple!
I do ok mostly but when the days are bad they are bad....I dont want to get out of bed ..but I am motivated by my kids to get up... so off to the doctor....
Went to the doctor and he wanted me to answer about 150 questions before he gave me anything..and still hasn't given me anything! Guess he wants to be thorough. I told him I was looking at the site and he wanted to see what it was and entailed first before anything..bu of course my next appointment is in another couple of weeks.
Just trying to wake up positive, which is so hard..the day seems to overwhelm me..
