flasquish Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Snow, yuck! That's why I'm staying in Florida. I always wanted to live somewhere else until one time I got stuck in snow visiting a friend in New Jersey. I thought I was gonna die. That was the first time I drove in snow from Newark Airport to where she lived 30 miles away. Talk about stressfull driving. Slip and slide the whole way. Wouldn't have made it without my cigarettes. I cleaned house today, took a nap, and tended to the forums. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenwilson523 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I felt like I was slightly less imbalanced than I was yesterday. My annoying and consuming fixation was a bit more bearable today. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have been wanting a certain robe from my closet upstairs. Been wanting it for months! I finally just went and got it and I'm wearing it now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenwilson523 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm hanging out with my awesome dog cuddled on the couch with a super blanket. I am not a fan of winter. It's restrictive and depressing. I'm also not that good with cold temperatures. Single digits make me crabby. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thHeaveN Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I was helping a friend in calculus today and I FINALLY got the tires changed - kinda lucky I didn't slide off the road - early Christmas miracle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfcaster Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 i went to see my psych today on an emergency visit, and then delivered a letter to my supervisor outlining the terms of my short term disability claim that was caused by both the company and their employees, it stated that the disability was to commence immediately and that they would be kept informed through the union and that they were to have no direct contact with me, all correspondence would go through the union. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasquish Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 That's fantastic Surfcaster that you'll be able to be out of work for a while to work on you. I wish we had unions here in Florida, I could use a couple months off to deal with the startups of the meds. Hope you're able to deal with your anger and not keep it bottled up anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Licorice Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I finished a short story today totaling about 6,000 words total. I still need to edit it and settle on a name or two, but then I'm done! That'll only take a day or so.This is my first time being on a forum and I LOVE IT! The messages here are very helpful. I've been going through a lot of forums over the last 3 months and this is the one to be in. Even when I do get back to myself, I plan on staying on this forum to report on my progress and send out any helpful messages that I can. So many of us out there!I'm glad you like it here. Sometimes I worry that forums are far too limited in what they can do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsm Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I've had a rough couple of days due to lack of sleep from my mind spinning. I did get some laundry done yesterday and hope to do another load today. Other than that, my big accomplishment for today was to give myself permission to NOT feel guilty if I do absolutely nothing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskaral Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Went to the gym today, felt really good there. Talked to some people. Afterwards I had a dip in my mood. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1Cares Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I didn't cry at work today. This is a bad time of year for me and any time my mind slowed down today it hit. I may have broke down as I was unlocking my apartment door, but it didn't happen at work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I had the same thing, almost cried at work but made it out. Did cry a little during my bike ride home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanF23 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Took my meds in the morning. Drove my 3-yr old son to daycare. Picked him up from daycare later in the afternoon. He touched my face and said that daddy is pr!ckly. I did not bother explaining that shaving is not a priority when daddy is depressed. Then I touched his face and told him he is pr!ckly too. He laughed. It bought a smile to my face. Later I went to the gym. Did chest, back, biceps, triceps.Felt pretty much the same as before the gym: no pleasure out of life, still depressed. Watched hockey on TV. Ate some stir-fry. Showered. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Edited December 21, 2013 by StanF23 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotaru Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It was shaping up to be a very bad day today, but I did manage to bundle up and at least take a short walk out to the local mall. The hordes irritated me more than usual (it's the Saturday before Christmas - no wonder!), but I survived it. My prize was a pretty ball of Noro Kureyon yarn for the leg warmers I'm working on! Before I managed to drag myself out, I had had my breakfast, sat down to knit…and promptly decided to go back down for a nap until just after noon. :/My next major hurdle is getting dinner together…which will require bundling up AGAIN just to go out and get a pack of green onions, of all stupid things.I may just have to skip that, as it may not be worth the trouble of dressing up for, as sometimes just getting myself layered up to go outside is an overwhelming task. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StageSeven Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I ended up finally picking up my new bankcard at the bank today, It took me a week to have a day where I felt ok in the head to go do that and face some public incounter's 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 So hard to feel good about anything right now. I didn't think the holiday would bother me since I have done nothing at all for it. No shopping. No decorations. No special food. I'll see no one but my elderly mother that I care for. Yet it's in the back of my mind that I should be doing something festive. I feel like it's not fair to my mother that I'm trying to ignore the holidays. I'm so on edge and very Biotchy.With all that said, I did manage to get out just now to pick up something I needed for my blog and to drop mail in the po box. I was also supposed to swing by the market but I skipped that and I'm trying to not feel guilty about that. Rough time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat1138 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I wrapped my mom's presents because she is coming to visit tomorrow. I helped my dad change some light bulbs around the house, including the kitchen one, which is a little nerve-racking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
