How you doin Jordan? Just came across your post from 8 hours ago. I’m just getting caught up on here myself. Sounds like a lot of us are having a shit day. As I sit in bed with my back on ice. Reading about all the other shit days people are having. 46 days is great work on your sobriety. Maybe it’s that dang milestone malady thing that is so real. Coming up on 50 days ? Do you do any meditation? Anything to quiet the mind? Sounds like you been spending a lot of time keeping busy. I really like the Breethe App on my phone. It has tons of all different guided meditations. Even for sleep. I find them very beneficial even if they put me to sleep. Keep checking in and don’t pic up! Keep reading around here. Or check out the memes thread. Or the wonderful pics of nature. I know you could add some yourself from beautiful Colorado.
Just for today my friend.
Just for today.

Thank you @Dazercat and @anon60334405 I appreciate that. I was able to get in with my psychiatrist today so I’m trying to get into the solution. I appreciate your friendships thank you.

That’s was very kind words. Hope your back is feeling better?!
I actually got two puzzles for Christmas from the “breathe app” I haven’t downloaded it yet as my phone can’t take anymore data lol I take too many photos. So been transferring them to my laptop so I can use my phone more lol #LifeOfAPhotographer
I don’t do meditation. I have when I was younger but now I’m more active and slowness makes me kinda restless and bored lol
I actually feel better that I wrote on here and got what was weighing inside, out. Though still waiting to get outside more! I’m a huge adventure.

Hi Maria. Those are definitely some scary feelings you got there. Especially that powerless part. That’s got to be real scary. I mean, we know we are powerless over alcohol. And powerless over other people and things. But being powerless in the way you are writing about is something I’ve never thought about. I hope sharing your feelings on here will help you out. I wish I could give you more assurances. It is always a pleasure to come across an encouraging post of yours. Or any of your shares on here. You are a strong lady and I’m so happy you opened up on here.
God bless you.
Keep checking in when you can.
Maybe give yourself a little break on how hard you’re working on yourself. I mean it all sounds like great things your doing. And I try to do all that too. But it can all be exhausting. Some days I take a day off and just do a few of the things like just a meditation and a walk. And nothing else. Just see what happens.

I have been soOo tired today so I’ve spent most of it in bed napping. Got out for my walk this afternoon though so that was lovely. Still struggling with the eating disorder but I’m trying to regain control every day
I’m going to push myself to attend the zoom support group tomorrow morning, as it’s likely the last one for that group because it’s our last DBT session this Friday. Then I need to collect my repeat medication.
The Prime Minister has announced his plans for getting the UK out of lockdown, over the next 4 months with a gradual easing of restrictions, I think this is pleasing for a lot of people, to finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I just can’t wait to be able to see my niece, haven’t seen her since September (apart from a visit to the cemetery on 20th Dec) and won’t be able to see her until after 29th March at the earliest, at the age she’s at (2 years), I feel I’m missing out on so much of her development.

I’m off to bed relatively soon, but I wanted to shut off the computer, so I’ll say goodnight now.
I haven’t forgotten about the Egypt video(s), I’ve started working on it !
Goodnight all.

Good night all. Checking out. Sorry, many have a bad day. Hope it’s getting better soon.
I learned that once I solved a problem another one is sneaking around the corner trying to stress me. Bastards…
I thought I lost the key to the climbing hall which is a central key and the building is community, so expensive if I lost it. I am not very talented when it comes to keys. So I found 2 keys I could not say where, why, wtf. One was my brothers house. The other must have been this one. We went yesterday to check. Noooooooo. Damn it. Didn’t fit. I asked a friend to make a photo of the key in question so that I knew what to look for. The key was the same. I went back today to try another time as I thought I was too stupid. Didn’t fit. So I wrote our boss, let’s say. I asked for the key number I was given. He answered me: number blablabaahhh, yeah but the City changed the locks!! 
Another problem solved. So I can savely wait for another preparing.
Otherwise I had a great day, cycling, almost too warm, 20 degrees.

Day 213!
Going to meet up with a mom! I met her on Instagram odly enough but her husband went to school with my daughters dad and I hired her to do his resume. Her daughter loves eggs too, haha so its a match made in heaven. Ahh wish me luck that I still know how to talk to people.
Ive never had to pursue making friends before because Ive always just had them. So this is new for me. Hope you all gave a great sober day!

93 days. Feeling so much better today than I have in several weeks. I think getting back to the gym with my friend had a lot to do with it. They say going to the gym has the same effects as an antidepressant med. Also, @littlemisschatterbox, I called the counseling office several times today with no answer. Left a voicemail. I will call back again tomorrow.

I’ve been feeling like this all week and my brain just wants some time out of sobriety but I’ve heard it all before and TBH I can’t remember once when it ever made a difference or made me feel better for long…
Sometimes it ain’t gonna be pretty and I’ve come to realize that it’s great when the world is dancing to my tune but when the music ends and things start to go wrong that’s when I find out what I’m made of. Today I don’t have much love for others or myself but as long as I don’t drink or get high that love will return.
