1. Had a great day at work!
2. Going out for dinner with friends.
3. Learning to enjoy the moment.

Re: 3 Positive Things
All these 3 things together at 6am, after a night of not sleeping, sitting outside on a bench in the nature:
1. 2 Black Devil cigarettes, chocolate flavoured rizla paper
2. A Cup of Nescafe Tasters Choice
3. 1 small piece of chocolate
Not the healthiest of starts to the morning but temporary enjoyment it is.

Re: 3 Positive Things
I was going to do many things after work today, but I did exactly nothing, which is good because I need to learn to be ok with doing nothing.
Jillian went to camp last night so I picked her up today. So happy to have her home. She's been snuggling with me since.
I downloaded a great mood log app. I haven't needed to use it though because I've had a great week with no depression or anxiety. My new meds have kicked in and I feel much more stable.

Glad you are feeling much more stable. That must be a relief

Re: 3 Positive Things
Hey Turtle...yes! There really is an art to "doing nothing..."And it's so necessary. When I don't watch it, my life always becomes a giant list of what I have to do, ought to do and should have done. So now I try and make my own breaks - at least sit down and take the load off. We need that both mentally and physically...Take the load off... I'm beginning to really like that phrase...

Re: 3 Positive Things
Good luck with the remaining tests and your surgery, forgetmenot.
Don't try to be strong today. Just focus on being wherever your mind and heart takes you. Be kind to yourself.

Re: 3 Positive Things
Absolutely. None of us has to be strong ALL the time. If there are tears, let them fall. Feel what you feel. I know your loss is huge. I don't pretend to know how you feel but I do know how it feels to lose someone before their time.

Re: 3 Positive Things
Hey there forgetmenot...others are thinking about you...save all your energy for your Monday surgery... and promise yourself something really great as a treat on the other side of the experience...I've decided to have my own "mental screensaver"...you know - you can switch over to that in your "mind's eye" when the film you have going is not what you want... mine is a panoramic view of the Sea of Japan from the beach... and it helps in the hospital if you have a sleeping mask for that total blackout when you really need the down time...
Wishing you all the best... :ladybug:

Re: 3 Positive Things
They say 'one thing at a time' when you've got severe depression so yeah, I had a shower just now and changed my clothes for the first time in almost two weeks. Power to me!
Hopefully I'll be able to make it two positive things tomorrow.

Re: 3 Positive Things
I woke up feeling ok today after talking about hospitalization during my session yesterday,and thinking I was headed there. Maybe I just needed to express what I was feeling cause I feel so much better today.
I bought double chocolate chip cake at the store and just ate 2 slices. I felt I deserved it.
I have been lazying around and doing pretty much nothing for the past couple of days. I feel I deserve that too. Sometimes working, taking care of a house,etc. just gets to be too much. It's nice to be lazy once in awhile, wear pajamas all day, watch movies and snack on things I would never normally eat (because I worry I will gain weight).
