What did you do today?

[LottyH]

Depression is difficult and its hard to see anything positive. But step by step people do recover. I want this thread to be something positive. If you struggle with depression tell us something you did today that was positive no matter how small.

If you haven't done anything positive yet, think of something then do it and tell us, even if its just for one day. It may be just getting out of bed when you haven't been able to previously. It may be admitting that the 'I am worthless' thought is a lie from the enemy.

Try it just for one day, just for a moment, so we can celebrate that moment together and encourage one another.

this thread is a good idea

I guess something positive for me is that I ate a bit today after not really eating for a while.

Your body will be very thankful for your decision today. I'm really proud of you and pray that step by step you will continue to make positive decisions to look after yourself. But no matter what happens tomorrow, nothing can take away today's small victory

Well...

Looking at the good only, I helped my mother deliver flyers as advertisement for the kids' camps we're hosting at my home church, with some other people...

And I've been attending a young adults' group that I helped form for my church, although I have really bad social anxiety... I guess those are good things...

Thanks for sharing, they are fantastic things too. I have struggled with social issues myself in the past so I know how scary it is and how much courage it takes. I'm really proud that you put yourself out there today

I had a victory of some magnitude today - I did my first few hours of volunteer's work today after 17 years of illness. The day went well and I got to know a few new people.

From now on every Friday I hope to do volunteers work at a local community centre for senior citizen.

I also brought our main water pump to get fixed. The pump had broken down and I got it fixed and put it back into place again when I got home from work.

All in all I had a productive day.

Something positive for me is that my thoughts are now a lot less with my OCD, and I feel much happier also I have been going out a lot more lately and I have seen lots of my friends, because if you go back only 3 weeks I was scared to leave home so I have been a lot better recently I would say what I have done today but its only 9AM at the moment

Well I do one for yesterday as it just for the wee hours of the next day lol.

I made sandwiches for a picnic in the park.
I had counseling {which my wonderful husband came with me}
Then we went to the park and ate our sandwiches.

When to the Pawn Shop and bought Hang Over 2 so hubby can watch it so I can FINALLY watch the 3rd one! ugh!

Then we went to the movies and saw Superman!

Then came home.

I did the task which my therapist gave me - it`s something like mood diary.

It's very early a.m. so will just share what I did yesterday. The most postive thing I can think of is that I came to the realization that a particular relationship (friendship) is pretty one-sided on my part so best to back off and let it go without feeling abandoned or rejected but just knowing that it is okay and that this doesn't mean I am a person who is not worthy of a better relationship. Movin on without bitterness and accepting the relationship for what it is..a sometimes friendship, co-worker, and fellow church member. Not going to be the close friend I thought and it is okay. Can still love and pray for this person. All in God's hands, not mine.

i read a little from the Gospel
the words of Christ are like soothing medicine to my soul

all praise be to His name
Jesus Christ, our great High Priest and Spotless Lamb of God

I read more of my study Bible, as I do each day!
I took a walk with my girlfriend
I went fishing with my dad and sister and we had a really good time

Sounds like you had a fun and exciting day!

Again I wrote in my mood diary. Then I did another task my therapist gave me - I wrote out negative thoughts and then found positive alternatives to these negative thoughts. I only did it with two similar thought but it`s more than nothing. I also wrote answered prayers in my prayer journal. I guess I can still write.

I dressed in a new outfit and am going to a cookout now. Took some anti-inflamatories and put on more sensible shoes for my knee is hurting from putting on high heels.,

this thread is nice

 

[jannikitty]

Prayer time during a nice early morning walk. Bible study. Fixed ham and noodles in the crock pot for lunch. Conversation and prayers with husband regarding a pending decision. Decided to give the matter more time before making any changes. Watched a movie with lunch. Missed the last part cause I fell asleep. Now off with my dh (dear husband) to look for a new refrigerator. For the first day of summer it is brrr cooler here than ever expected; but not raining yet, anyway.
