I love that "so whatever compost happens today, is fertilizer for yesterday's flower", but it could be for tomorrow's too!

hi gang.
 
I have to remember that each day there is a some progress.
and the progress I made yesterday is not lost when i fell unconcious in bed last night.  Some thing stayed in this thick skull.
 
So whatever compost happens today, it is fertiliser for yesterday's flower.

hi gang
 
I have worked for years to control my anxiety. Especially since my depression attack in 2005 with the help of Phobies-Zeroes. But to tell the truth I have had slow and little success with it!
 
Until now. I realised that it is one of my symptoms of bipolar mood change; this anxiety.  As I become depressive the memory goes and I hoard information and I verify everything lots of times ... So my house has become a stock pile of junk.  Then as I beome hypomanic I have too much energy and begin projects, I spend too much money on junk,... and more stuff to storage...
 
well since the flood in the basement and the meds kicking in.  I have had a good control over most of my anxiety.  And I have thrown out a bunch of old stuff!  can you believe it I have three big garbage bags outside full of paper, clothes and stuff for tomorrow's pick-up?  it is amazing.  
 
 I always let the men of the house take care of the garbage, so that I do not do the ... I can reuse this ... I can keep this ... it might be good one day ... I cannot let go, there is always that second guessing.  So i say nothing and let others do this while I hide and do other things.  Now that I am stable, the anxiety is relativly under control so I can get normal things done!
