i’m sorry that today is worse. can you do something to work on your mental self care? I just had a nice cry and a walk. we do go through the rough patches and sometimes these last way longer than we would like but they do get easier You keep fighting my friend cause you are worth it! I do keep hoping that things will get easier and better for you soon. When are you talking to your therapist next? Can you talk to her before the appointment via text or email?
1 week is amazing! You should be super proud as the early days are the hardest! The urges are getting stronger? This is a great time to double down with your recovery. Keep busy, stay connected and find support in real life to help you through. Do not let that voice win – you don’t want to repeat the first days again ODAAT!
I’m glad you are going today and please stay open to sharing. I know you have seen some crappy support and road blocks but I do believe that she has your best interest and hopefully will have some power to make things happen for you. Maybe get you into the treatment center where you were meant to go originally
Checking in! Today was a regular day at work, I have a lot of things to get done, and the office is just so noisy and messy! I’ve decided tomorrow I’m doing home office! “Problem Solution”!! (Something I learned in a course some years ago; “you have a problem, don’t complain and find a solution!”)
My boss is really flexible, and thanks to VPN, I have access to everything from home!
I finally did a workout, after 10 days of not doing any sports whatsoever! That felt really good too!
It’s good to have goals and good to have desires. Perhaps talking to your therapist about ways you can go about getting these things. Short goals in small pieces that aren’t over whelming.
Volunteer at an animal shelter for instance. It gives you something to do and a place to be.
Something to look forward to when you get up in the morning
You can do this. I have been there. Though its not what i am using this app for, i have self harmed for years. For me that helped once getting out of the house asap for a bit but also think back and thunk back hard why you stopped pr why you want to stop. Mine was the scars. You have to live with those. My thought was do i really want more. And when i was at my lowest i was like whatever but every single time i would regeret it the next day or 2 days later. When i got out of my slump i would be so upset with myself. Just remeber you have come this far. You can keep going. Remember this day will pass
Another client lunch today and another sparkling water for me. Got that end of the week feeling, which is where having no alcohol in the house is very helpful indeed. Gym class booked for tomorrow morning and an early night ahead.
Day 998
Last night was a rough one, just having to do the awake overnight shift myself. But i managed Got my son on the bus and then went and ran an errand first thing. Came home and slept for like 3 hours. Had a using dream but woke up feeling refreshed still. Did some cleaning and had a shower. Now just waiting for my son to come home. Im still feeling overwhelmed with certain things in my life but just taking it day by day. Hope everyone is having a good day!!
@scaredsmol You can resist those urges! Keep going!
@Millie_1987 You are going great! Making the right choice for your life.
@Vanessa8 Sounds like you are in a great place to tackle the end of the year challenges. Celebration is about feelings and actions, not a liquid in a glass.
You keep fighting my friend cause you are worth it! I do keep hoping that things will get easier and better for you soon. When are you talking to your therapist next? Can you talk to her before the appointment via text or email?
ODAAT!
