Day 840. Feeling better this morning mentally. I swear (for me) that just going to bed when I’m going through a sad/depressive episode works 99.9% of the time. I have learned to just accept it and roll with it by going to bed, it’s too strong for me to fight it. I used to struggle to find out “what’s wrong with me” and “why is this happening” etc. but that just made things worse. Of course things make me sad for sure but I’m referring to the chemical side of depression as in the waves that come that are beyond my control. Eh, long post hope that made sense. I’m really proud of everyone here, have an amazing day I love you guys!!!

In the bath at the minute but need to go food shopping and collect some e-liquid for my wife which is next door to my old local pub, i have 2 days off work, the weather is lousey and i thought i could be tempted to drink here. Asking myself some questions
Do i really want to drink alcohol today?
NO.
Am I really missing any of my drinking partners?
NO.
How will I feel once I return from shopping in an hour still sober?
MAGNIFICENT
No further questions your honor.

Hey kids, checking in on Friday morning. Took off work today, I twisted the hell out of my lower back on Wednesday. Now it’s just getting progressively worse. Last time I did this about a year ago I remember it taking a good couple weeks to feel normal again. “Getting older sucks big time”. Gonna ride up to the Doctor this morning and see what’s up. I got somebody delivering a motorcycle to me on Saturday but that’s probably gonna be out for a little bit :joy:Just gonna lay around for a day or two and see how it feels. Have a great day guys, behave yourselves this weekend.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::v:

So glad to hear your feeling better :hugs::hugs:
I think the sleeping it off solution definitely does wonders, or brings us back to being able to rationalise our thoughts without them overwhemming us. I think i remember you calling it resetting the mind and for me this is exactly what i have to do.

This part of it is hard, i can relate to this feeling in my own way ans definitely glad you have woken up feeling better and worked out a way to get through it :purple_heart:
