My granny would always get the unbirthday kid a present. She never wanted anyone to feel left out. I try to do the same, but my sister has twice as many kids lol

When my kiddo feels bummed out like this, I plan a date with her. I only have the one kiddo but I do get really busy with work and distracted with self care and my progress journey that she doesn’t get all my attention sometimes. I let her choose from a few options and then we go and she gets all my attention. Ur baby knows u love her and ur doing your best, trust in that

it sounds like a great birthday I can relate to the mouth watering, mine does that when I have binge cravings, keep having the nice alternatives

@SadMemeQueen I don’t know if you already do it, but meditation takes the edge off my anxiety when it gets really overwhelming. Also, maybe talk to your doctor as it’s been quite some time you’ve been feeling this way and there is always something more they can offer. Sending strength

I feel asleep before typing this part, my cats just woke me up for their breakfast, so now I’m trying to remember what happened yesterday…
I had an appointment in the city centre in thr morning, I didn’t take my wheelchair because I haven’t tried lifting it into my car boot yet and although it’s meant to be ‘light-weight’, it’s actually 26.8kg, I really struggled to even get it out the box it came in. Anyway, I was able to park right outside the clinic where my appointment was, I had my blood test, got some medications for my infections, and some more of a regular medication I take, and my UTI has cleared.
While I was in the city centre, I got the other side of my nose re-pierced, and now my glasses don’t catch on it, so it’s much better. I also got a hair cut, sent my ring off for repair, and went into the other piercing shop to get a slightly longer bar put into one side of my lip piercings, as the other one was pinching and getting sore, it feels much better now.
It was really making me anxious that I didn’t have anything in writing to confirm my upcoming new tenancy, and my landlord also messaged me a third time trying to accept my previous offer of a years rent. So, I emailed the estate agent to say this, and that ideally I need to respond to him to give notice that I’m ending my tenancy, but that I don’t wish to do so without having the assurance in writing that I’ve got the new one. She replied saying that she’ll get it emailed to me no later than tomorrow (today now), so I’m really glad I was assertive, it’s so hard sometimes though, especially when I’ve already asked once and not had a positive response.
Only 1 out of the 5 places I went were wheelchair accessible, it makes me sad, because I really struggled to get around, even though there wasn’t much distance between them all, it’s getting harder, my back is really bad at the moment, I’m hoping it will get better again as my weight goes down more.
I have my mid-way review at the hospital, for my bladder surgery tomorrow morning, to see how I’ve been since I had it, and to schedule the next one.
Looking forward to a hopefully stress-free bank holiday, where I can get outside in my wheelchair to learn how to drive it some more

Trying to find a zero alcohol red wine and beer I enjoy as a back up when tempted. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. The only red wine amongst 100s in the bottle shop and it tastes like crap

I use guided sleep meditations and they work great, I’ll definitely try them during the day too. I’m on antidepressants and antianxiety meds but they haven’t been working for a long time now. I just haven’t told my psychiatrist. I guess I’m just tired of the endless cycle of searching for meds and readjusting. But I’m gonna talk to him about it for sure. I kinda forgot that asking for med changes is an option when I’ve been hiding it for so long

Checking in. Day 54. Didnt think 2 weeks was possible.
Got 1 hour sleep last night. Painted all day at work, green doors all alike. Then went After that 10 hours and detailed my friends car which was satisfying, though i didnt take before and after pictures. Then made myself shower, and im in my mess of a room. Tomorrows my day off.
Hope i pass out wake up and clean. With coffee.
Dont know what good moods are anymore. Just trying to be good to be around which is hard. I cant relate easy to other people. Very tense, bad energy. I have no choice but to try!
Scared of 60 days, scared of being a few months or years in and going down the excuse line again.
But going to bed soon. Cats. Food. A whole burrito i ate between work and car. Grateful.
