• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Today I finished reading for humanities and did my writing assignment, and took an online quiz. I also swam for over an hour today as my workout. This morning, I discovered that I had lost a pound! :D I am extremely happy about that because I seem to have been stuck in a weight loss plateau for a while now.

I did not work out yesterday or today :( But my body needs at least two days of rest. Haven't really done much today except make my bed. I'm going to start some laundry in a little bit and work on my paper tonight when it gets quiet around here.

Today I started work on my allotment with my fiance, it felt good, like I'd really achieved something.

Today I could chew! Sounds redicilous as it's something we take for granted but with the jaw dysfunction I have and having dental work yesterday that aggrivated it, I was so relieved when this morning I could chew and eat decent meals!

Hiya I am feeling quite good about myself.... Jesus really spoke to me this morning.... It has been about a year since I last went to church my marriage breaking down really affected me and I felt that I could not turn to christ as I had failed him and also I felt I had let down all my brothers and sisters at my old church...... but I have spoken in depth with jesus over these last few weeks and today I plucked up the courage and walked into my local church by myself and gave thanks for the work he has been doing in my life just lately...... I feel that he does forgive me for the last year and is ready to do great things in my life again....... I have already shown an interest in working in the church creche as I have always known that he gave me the gift of working with children....... It was realy hard for me to walk in the church this morning I nearly chickened out..... depression has a way of talking you out of doing things that involves a bit of bravery and courage BUT.... today I ignored the depression and I am so glad that I did...... I just wanted to share that feeling with you guys...... no matter how low we get it is always worth remembering that we are forgiven and he loves us so much;)

I looked at my handband that says "God keeps his promises" right when I felt myself losing control of my mood (I'm bipolar) and pulled it together. Remembering God really pulls me out of a rut.

I visited with my 82 year old mother. My niece came down from Phoenix so I had a chance to visit with her. I went shopping a bought some Ltriptophan for depression, some colostrum for good health, and some Hawthorn berry tea. I bought some california rolls for Mom to eat and I bought some organic pizza that we will have tonight. I'm going back over tonight and watch the TV with her. She lives alone and she is 82. Trying to spend time with her and do nice things for her.

I was a little cranky today. That is unlike me, but my back has been bothering. Lower back is painful. I bought a back brace with magnets. It seems to be helping. Tomorrow, I will start running again. Need to get more exercise.

Moving rather slow,
Kim

Hello! This is the first time I am posting on this thread. This seems like a good way to feel accomplished at the end of the day. I woke up, did laundry, went to my prayer counseling session (which went really well), went on a run with my boyfriend, and watched a movie with him. The biggest thing that I accomplished today though (with God's major help) was not allowing my mind to rake me over the coals. That is definitely one of my biggest battles. I can be so introspective and critical, it can be tortuous at times. Well, it is 2 am so I need to go to bed. God bless everyone!

Ever since I pulled an all nighter for finals, my sleep schedule has been all messed up -- well last night, I went to sleep at a "normal people" time and this morning I got up at 10am! I have been trying to get up in the morning for like a week now so I feel really happy about this. I did wake up early on some days but I ended up going back to sleep. So anyway, I'm going to keep trying to get up earlier and earlier so I can be used to it by the time my summer classes start.
