Yay!!! What a wonderful milestone, friend!!! I hope you’re very proud of your achievement and perseverance. You’re doing great.
Checking in on Day 6. The cold is slowly improving, it may well be another day in bed but I am hopeful for my birthday on Monday. I have nothing I need to do so it is probably OK timing. It is a beautiful spring day in the south of England so just enjoying my morning coffee with the window open and the birds singing.
I am going to be very honest now, I can see this being a hard time ahead in terms of cravings. The cold is improving, I am approaching a week, my birthday and annual leave. All of these things meant ‘rewarding’ myself with wine in the past. I need to be here a lot over the next few days. That feels quite selfish, but hopefully I can support others having a difficult time too.
So sorry for your loss @JazzyS and thank you for the birthday wishes. You are so kind, take care of yourself.
You can do this Jenny.

Day 158
In the process of moving,one foot in front of the other, ODAAT
Day 441.
Fuck the world, I’m taking the day off. No work-out, no hoovering, no chores, no fucking nothing aside from hiding under my pink fluffy blanket. Those mood stabilisers were working well and lifting my depression, the rare rash side effect meant I had to suddenly stop taking them. So of course, I developed the rare withdrawal that come with stopping the drugs. Depression, irritatable, unmotivated, sad… I’m so fucking sad. I’ve had it, man. I’m doing everything right. I stopped drinking, I don’t take recreational drugs, I eat healthy 90% of the time, I work out, I see a shrink… All that shit you’re supposed to be doing to be healthy and happy, I’m doing it. And yet… I’ve been crying and feeling hopeless for the past few hours.
Anyway, I’m here and I’m sober and I’m miserable.
Day 29
Checking in after a pretty good sleep. Feeling calm and relaxed. Mind is clearer. Like maybe things are going to work out. I’m accustomed to worry so this is cool. I’m starting to recover my health. I’ll get some weights in and walk. Hoping a friend makes it by to go hiking later. Perfect weather.
Enjoy your day
I’m so sorry, Amy. Please rest and take care of yourself.
So sorry Amy, that really sucks. I hope a day off from everything helps
Checking in again, had to climb back into bed in the middle of making soup. I just (this is going to sound really weird) “fake fainted”, I could feel myself wobbling and thought I was going to faint, and then realised I wasn’t blacking out just couldn’t stand up anymore. I then fell to the ground like someone pretending to faint, must have looked ridiculous when my husband ran over and I was awake and like “hi, yes I am still conscious” Still feeling wobbly now but taking it easy.
I’m so sorry to hear of your friends passing Jasmine. That’s tough to manage, and I hope you have friends and family around to support you, and take comfort to know that your TS family is always a chat away.
Wishing you strength and lots of great memories this weekend and sending positive thoughts to help you cope.
Lotsa love
I’m so sorry to hear you had to stop taking your meds.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
