Re: Taken a while to get started here

Good on you.

Re: Taken a while to get started here

10 years ago, you were moving along well. Me too. I think we'll both find that again. We've been there before..

Re: Taken a while to get started here

just the rattling roller coaster in between ...

Re: Taken a while to get started here

I am still finding it hard to engage here. I kind want a friend I can report stuff to - not just bad but the little good things - and maybe create some accountability on the work i am trying to do to move forward.

 

I noticed a 2 approx 2 day cycle of up and down. I interestingly after noticing that I have had a 9 day run of "not bad" and feel some progress. Stilll looking for "fun" and "friends" but all in all better that posibly many years.

 

Tonight though I notice a change down, probably triggered by or contributed to by NDIS. Or just 9 days good run ending. Thoughts racing, taken to some drinking trying to control, not interested in dinner. Anxiety is high though not overly depressed - more a self esteme/failure/no future thing, and that misunderstood thing that has been with me all my life.

 

Something positive maybe - dramatic improvement in vision since I left relationship and now possible to prescribe glasses! The interesting happenings of an environmentally sensitive person

Re: Taken a while to get started here

@SadUnicorn  The thread Daily goals, motivation and check in  might help. There are other people sharing how they are going with daily tasks and motivation.

Take care.
