PessimOptimist Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I hugged both my kids and told them I love them. Even my 6' 205 lb 15 yr old son. You know how "uncool" stuff like that is. At least his friends weren't around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 I am surviving my 5 weeks "vacation" with my 6 year old granddaughter. I will desperately need a real vacation when she goes back home. I've had a few meltdowns but for the most part, I'm handling it okay. I have her little cousin today too so it at least gives her something to play with. I hope to get all my dishes done. I've never seen so many dishes. I did a bunch so far and if that's all I get done today, I'll consider it an accomplishment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starsea Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I went to the doctor but they didn't have me down for an appointment. So they put me in for the end of the month. Then I went out with my kid for a few hours. Then I came home and posted some. Tried to read and reply to some. Getting ready for my evening therapy appointment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innsmouth Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Congratulations tmm! I slept a normal number of hours and woke up in the morning today... woke up at 4am but it's still a massive improvement. A few days ago I was waking up at 9pm. This is such a rare occurrence for me, I'm so excited about it lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin2013 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I woke up and really had a difficult time figuring out what to wear. Did get dressed. Made breakfast for the family and me.Have a laundry going. Ran out to do errands. Could not find the socks I like. I hate superstores that assume everyone is the same size, has the same preference for what to wear.Bought cat litter, cat food...Came home, took half a Xanax. Might nap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrymomof2 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Went to Bible study. Talked to my daughter for a long time. Told my husband, son, and daughter about the depth of my depression and how serious it is. Decided I'm getting a tattoo. Daughter is designing it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starsea Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Drove to the next state with my brother in law and a friend to pick up an 800 pound (363 kilo) printing press and moved it back to my sister's print shop here in town. Long trip. Uncomfortable truck. But quite an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epictetus Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Took some big strange looking beetles that were walking along on railroad tracks and put them back into the nearby grassy field. Train came along about 3 minutes later. Hope they're doing okay out in the field. [Me and bugs] Edited July 11, 2015 by Epictetus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to teach my child that they are nothing to fear. I'm picking them up and showing bugs to them (yuck). That said, they are pretty little things when you get to know them. All life is pretty, really. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweaterweather Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I got up at a decent time and did one hour of chores before taking a shower. I'm pretty happy with myself that I managed to get some cleaning done. The kitchen was a mess, so that's what I focused on, but I also managed to quickly sweep/vacuum too. I also had a home-cooked dinner and plan on putting away some laundry before bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatBoy Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It's a warm one out there today - right now, 91/33, going up to 95/35. Warmer tomorrow. Just got back in from trimming some weeds/bushes. Tried to stay arm's length away from the poison sumac! Doing a load of laundry right now - two more on deck. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
