I am grateful for awareness. I can feel and see myself slowly sliding into depressive habits. The winter is coming, so it it not surprising. Taking a deep breath and getting ready to do all the hard things, the ones, I don’t wanna do right now, like calling friends, making appointments, invest in better work environment, doing the sport…This too is one step at a time.
I am grateful for my little home, cozy blankets and autumn flowers on the table.
I am grateful the puzzles thread reopend. Just picked one up yesterday I think I am going to enjoy.
I am grateful I took some time to think how I want to respond, when my ex texted. It used to be immediate reaction. I am glad I can weigh in how things will make me feel and chose from there.
I am grateful I don’t want to drink and you fine people keep reminding me of it every single day. :orange_heart:

It’s tuesday mid afternoon and it feels like I already have a full week behind me.
Today I’m grateful for:

  • stonewalls, driveway and landscape modeling are finished
  • facade looks beautiful
  • old boy gained weight
  • feelings will pass
  • catlove
  • it’s enough when I just survive today
  • a doctor recommendation from my counsellor, good specialists aren’t easy to find
  • I move around allthough my body is aching, it seems every part of it. I urgently need a peaceful timeout to rest.
  • friendly people
  • not acting on codependency allthough I really feel needy and lonely
  • HALT as it helps a little bit today
  • sunshine & autumn colours
  • tea
  • taking it ODAAT from minute to minute
  • breathing
  • being kind to myself as I feel ANYTHING ending is a big emotional problem for me at the moment
  • crying
  • trash collection
  • food
  • home
  • fresh, comfy cloths
  • friends who are there for me
  • never stop working on allowing myself to be happy, life throws crap anyway when it’s time for the next shitshow.
  • books, my escape from my inner turmoil
  • YOU :people_hugging:

:ghost: I’m grateful I slept in til almost 7.
:ghost: I’m grateful for a slow easy I got nothing kind of a day.
:ghost: I’m grateful we do have a nice dinner planned.
:ghost: I’m grateful I’m so exhausted after a full week of Pop Popping and Bob Bobbing (he calls me Bob Bob :man_shrugging:) that I wasn’t only thinking of myself and thought wifey must be exhausted too.
:ghost: I’m grateful when she finally got up I told her you must be exhausted from all your Nannering all week and laundry and I hope you got some rest.
:ghost: I’m grateful it was much appreciated as I could see it on her face.
:ghost: I’m grateful it doesn’t really matter that she passed out on the couch last night. Or any night. We had The A team in place all week and we both had a wonderful week with toddlers and family and sooooo much love.
:ghost: I’m grateful I get to see what’s most important these days.

If I’m not the problem,
Then there’s no solution.
