Ok, so my successes. Yesterday I planned my meals for three days, made a grocery list, then I actually went grocery shopping, not only at a grocery store but at a BIG grocery store! Kinda like a grocery superstore I guess. I was tired and did not feel like it but I decided it would be a good thing to go ad I did. Now that is victory number one.
Today, I went and explored the bus route I will need to take to go to school next week. I am kinda bus phobic and I hate the unknown. So a new bus route is definetely not my thing. So me and my mom took the bus to my new school. Then we had a really great lunch at a restaurant next to it. Then we came home by bus too. I felt so stoked, I was so proud of myself!
I was tired and sad and anxious when I got up but I still managed to get that done and on top of it I put on some nice clothes and felt like I looked good if I do say so myself. I think it was a good start at dusting myself off.
Glad to see this post! You should be proud of your successes. It's not an easy thing to take those steps and you have done so. By the way, I made my other posts before I saw this one and I wish I had seen this first. A bright spot in the day!
I woke up and didn't feel the need to cry. I actually got out of my pyjamas and got dressed. Of course I showered first! I find that cleanliness is a must! I made myself a really healthy breakfast and ate it. Then stopped eating. (been binging lately). I spoke to my boss to arrange for when I start back up with work. I stayed calm through the whole thing. Mostly, I picked myself up and dusted myself off today. Those are small successes but they are mine and I am proud of them.
I missed this post last pm!! You should be proud of yourself. Reaching out to your Dad, making peace with his wife and going to dinner and doing well are all great. Doing them when under the stress you've been under desrves a medal! I am proud of you. You are not only caring and sensitive, but you're pretty tough too.
Congratulations!! (Walking is also great exercise and good for your mood, you're doing well, hang in there!!!)
Tonight I managed to get a load of laundry done and fold all the baskets of clean clothes that had piled up. Felt proud of myself for managing to do this so I thought I would come here and share this with you guys. For me doing this was tough and took a lot of energy.
I also went for a Friday night super at my dad's. To put this in perspective I must explain that I had cut out his wife from my life for over a year now. Me and her have had a very toxic relationship in the past. I won't go into details but I will say I had to cut her out of my life and such things. But for the last five years my dad has been battling cancer and I knew it would make him happy if we made peace with each other. So when she made some ouvertures to me about maybe making peace I took it. So we had a supper planned for last Friday. With everything I have been going through I really didn't feel like going. I felt so tired and figured I didn't want to deal with it all. But I did go and it went well. So I am happy with myself.
Also, I went for a walk saturday for a whole hour. I felt really tired butI went anyway. It did do me good.
