Hiya everyone

Hey Zoe,

Thanks for not finding me too rambly lol. I am so glad you are feeling more positive and hopeful. That feeling is often what has pushed me to do my homework and it has often been the beginning of my getting better! And I am better. My life today is so much better. I still have tough days, everyone does. But I am so much better. And this site helped! So use it and keep us posted on your progress!

HEy Karen,

Most welcome! Sharing is important. It helps others sometimes hopefully but I think it also thelps those telling their own stories! Plus the more knowledge and wisdom we share the better we all are in the long run!

Well,

The therapist lady called. Seems she likes drama as she gave us a new appointment! So we will be going back. That is encouraging.

Hubby skipped work again today. Was angry at first but calmed myself down and manage not to pick a fight with him over it.

Hubby says he will speak to his doctor about getting anti-depressants. Hope he does.

Sorry for the weird writting style. My mind is racing as I am super hyper today lol! I figure I will ride it out till I come down!

Not a bad day though oddly! Gonna go watch tv, it usually helps me wind down!

Lousy Day

Hey CM,

Did you reward yourself? You should! I am proud of you for all you are doing! Yay! Congratulations on all your successes. As for finding balance, I am sure you will find it!

As for slowing down, be patient with yourself. You will learn.

As for me I am ok but kinda hyper. So I will log off and try to go wind down!

Take care Cm and keep me posted of how you are!

Hey guys,

Well I have come down from a 2-3 day complete hyper fit. Came down without crashing down which is nice. Am feeling much calmer and serene. I wish you all a lovely day!

Lousy Day

Hey Caden,

Well I guess hyper is better then anxious or depressed or it is really? I am not quite sure lol. The hyper feeling gets to be a bit much too. Ah well, let's just take it one day at a time and try to find balance within ach of those days! Btw, I feel much calmer today. I have come down from the hyper and did not crash into low and depressed so am pleased with myself lol. Up to now am having a nice calm, relaxing, non hyper day :)

As for pats on the back I am glad you felt them :) They are so well deserve, I am very impressed! As for rewarding yourself you deserve that too so spoil yourself a little you have done tons of great things and have racked up so many successes! Focus on that, hun

You are too hard on yourself! Be kind to yourself

If it was me going back to school and doing all you do, would you hit me over the head for the things I have not done yet or would you congratulate me for the things I have done, tried or succeeded at? I think you would give me a great big pat on the back! So give yourself a pat! You deserve it! Go on, you might like it!

Btw, I think it is great you rewarding yourself with a great pair of earring. I love earrings! And hey, graduation from first semester deserve at least a pair of earrings! And you are right, it is never too late to start!

And thanks, yes I do feel more balanced today, and you?

My cat.

Hey guys,

I decided to start the " Delaing With Grief" section of the program. I started it last week. I am taking my time to do the homework. But in filling in the Worksheet, it made me realize a ton of things. First, that I have had very few rituals to say goodbye. That in my heart I have resisted saying goodbye. I still want to talk in the present as if he is still here. Talking in the past makes me realize he is gone. I still imagine I see him or hear him around the house sometimes. I dream of him and he is alive and happy! I miss him so badly. I have not put away his things or washed the shirt I wore that day. I actually have panic attacks if I try to wash it. I have panic attacks trying to move any of his things. I need to find some rituals to help me put away his things and to say goodbye. But I am afraid. I like the ghosts in my house. I ike them because I know I cannot forget how much I love him, how much I miss him, how great he is, how lovely and loving and wonderful. But I will need to say goodbye, I wouldn't forget him. So why do I feel guilty?

The other thing I realized is that I try to keep the talking or posting about this to a minimum. I guess I do not want to be a burden. There is also the fact that he was a cat. I am afraid people will not understand. I am afraid of the :"Get over it he was just a cat" reaction. If he had been a person I could speak of how deeply my grief goes as I would know people will understand. I could speak of it without feeling silly because "he was just a cat". But to me he was more then just a cat! But I don't dare talk about how sad I am! Or about how much I miss him still. Or about how hard it is for me to say goodbye and let him go! He is such a good cat and I miss him so. Even on this forum I am afraid to express this...

And I am sorry to bother you with this again. I guess I am just not dealing as well with this as I feel I should. Anyway, thanks, and you all have a wonderful day!

Hey guys,

Sorry I won't be replying to you all but I am having a horrible horrible anxiety and anger filled day! I would begin to explain why this is but it would take you too long to read it! I am just having one of those days! On a positive note, despite anxiety levels that are quite high, I have had no panic attacks at all and do not forsee any happening. Which means I am learning! So there you go, the silver lining! Have a good evening all, I will now go try and talk myself down from having an even worse evening then my day was! Take care!
