Hi guys,

Well I had a few rough days. Not anxiety wise so yay for that. Was the depression thing bleh. But then, Sunday we celebrated my dad's sixth year of surviving his stage 4 cancer. He is so brave and strong. I am so proud of him.

Then on Monday I rested. Then me and the hubby had a great evening.

And today, well today was a wonderful day. I am now exhausted to the extreme but wow my day was worth the exhaustion. I went to lunch with my mom. Then I went to the mall BY MYSELF, way to go me! (Being my own cheerleader section here, sorry lol). I bought my hubby some new clothes for his great new job. He was happy with the clothes btw. I bought myself a shirt and some tennis shoes. Then I actually walked all the way home with my bags in hand lol. Then I went for my first belly dancing class in a long time. I was a bit nervous but it went well and it was a blast. And so now I am exhausted but really proud of my day. Boy, have I ever come a long way since I signed up on this site!

Hiya Sweatbee,

Thank you so much for dropping in on me! That is so great of you! Glad to be back. I write sporadically as I am often too tired but it is nice to be back . And yes, the extra sleep seems to help a lot. Oh and the waling, doesn't the walking just make you feel better? I am glad to hear you are walking . Thanks again for the reply!

Breanne,

Thanks for the encouragement!

Lore/Miki!

Long time. I am glad to hear from you. No need to apologize, we are glad to have you back. And yes, I am dealing with depression at the moment but am getting back on track and am quite hopeful for the future! On the anxiety side though I am doing great!  As for the hubby, things are far from perfect but they are getting much better. So that makes me happy. Best wishes to you too and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi guys,

Well I haven't been around much. At first, I was dealing with getting things set up with work for my time off. Then I was dealing with writting out all my admissions paper for next year at university. Also, I sleep a lot lately... So that kept me busy.
But the good news is the admissions stuff is done with! yay! I have started walking a bit more again and intend to increase back to my usual hour a day. I intend to sign up to a belly dancing class and to go back to yoga!
My husband says he finds me more cheery overall when I am awake. He says I laugh more and smile more. I agree with him. The rest has been doing me a world of good. So I sleep 12-16 hours a day, I guess I need it atm. But when I am awake, I do feel a bit better most of the time. I have moments when I just feel like myself again which is great. Hadn't had that in a while. So that is it for me on the depression front. As for my anxiety is is well, pretty much under control. So that is good. Woohoo!

Well so that is me. I hope this post finds you all well. This too shall pass!

Hiya Cm,

Thanks so much :)

Hiya Joe,

I am glad to hear your anxiety is easier to deal with. I am glad you are doing better! Woohoo!

Yes, my anxiety is much more under control! I can't remember my last panic attack. And I have been using less and less of my anxiety meds. So woohoo!

Thanks for all the confidence you have in me. You are right, I am a survivor and I can and will do this. As for the time off from work I think it will do me a world of good. I think it is already helping.  And yeah, this too shall pass! 

I hope we get a chance to catch up later too! Keep me posted!
