The changes make me feel good. The feeling of taking some control over your situation is great.
Having a sense of pride back in your existance is a wonderful feeling all in itself and feeling like good things may come your way again is great as well.
Still at times I beat myself up as would come from others, wife etc. since many dont understand how I bacame as bad as I was. For years I was the rock and I became utterly helpless. But I'm no longer trying to fix the past. I work on today, do the best I can and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
( forgot all the cool characters! )
Well Im doing it, driving! Not much, only a couple miles to the store and drives around the block, but I made a choice, Got insurance, went and got my car and making an effort. I could and should ( just was taught not to use should ) be doing more of it but at least its a step in yhe right direction. I still wish I knew how I drove for 30 years, everywhere and now im back to this. I have taken many positive steps to reach this point. 1. Diet, 2. Good vitamins/supplements, 3. No soda/coffee, 4. Excercise, (working out at the gym 3 days a week, 5. Attitude ( changing that! ) 6. Education ( learning all I can) 7. Willingness. 8. Quit smoking.
I must move forward and get on with my life. I was at a very bad point, not very long ago. I trying hard to move forward. My new thing I talked over with my PDoc the other day was weaning of one of my meds, an antidepressant, Mirtazapine. It makes me very groggy and hard to wake uo in the morning. So a little aprehensive about it with quitting smoking and the blahs from that, but I just plain dont like the meds so am giving it a try. Im so happy I found these sites as they have helped me a great deal. The Health Educators are wonderful. Will give a mention in my next stop, Gratitude log. I feel there is a lot to our issues we dont even think of, maybe were worn down, beat up or whatever, but some life restructuring and education can make all the difference> Have a super day! Lance
