Have been feeling very much like 'my old self' of late.
I have spoken with my Counsellor and we have decided that I am going really well.. and that I only need to go and see her if I feel I 'need to'.

Have been working regularly, and doing a bit extra with my shifts. Achieving my goal of paying off some of my debt with the extra money I am making..which feels really good! :)

It has been a long journey, Depression and Anxiety being a bit of a re-run for me.. some of the old issues I have coming up.. about self worth.. which I need to remind myself of ( as we usually all do ) that we really all are worthy even if we do not FEEL it. We do not have to FEEL it.. although yes, it does make a difference.

Today, I had a bit of anxious thoughts in my mind.. and I have been telling myself when I go off 'on the mind drift'.. to 'Bring it Back'..and to acknowledge that I am going off on a 'tangent' in my mind.. there is no evidence of whatever I am thinking.. today it was social interaction and thinking what do people think of me.. they were the reoccurring thought forms... I have been tired and missed 3 days of meds.. so it kinda makes sense that this anxiety state is happening for me. Back on my meds ( I left them in my locker at work) as usual today.

Will check in from time to time to write in the diary..
Hope that my supporters ( you know who you are - that comment and support me on diary ) do well.. I wish you all well with being well.

Hey Blue,

I am so pleased that you are feeling so good, it is nice to read a diary like yours every so often.

You know you have to keep your meds up or you will crash and you don't want that again, hey???

Take care Blue, and i am proud of you.

Luv Nouse

Hi bluefix

I don't know you but I recognise your story.

Without knowing much about you I also feel proud of your achievements.

Management of our conditions in the end, may be where some of us need to accept being, rather then aspiring for a cure. And I find for that I am more then comfortable with this assessment.

I wish you well bluefix in managing the undulating nature of life and self.
Warm Regards, Nickhy

Oh Blue this si such great news. We are all very proud of you here, your online family.

I hope you can keep going forward, keep up your meds til Doc says so (sometimes upto a year after your symptoms dissapear).

You have travelled so far and grown so much in the short time Ihave "known you" you give me hope and inspiration.

But remember this iste will be here if you need it, and there will always be users here if you need them.

Warmest and most special regards

Liz
