Step 250
I learned today that no matter how hard I try to be positive and focus on the good, inevitably I fall back into the negative and get frustrated and tired. Today is such a day. I feel exhausted and grumpy and want to be left alone. I shut down from people I love because I cant keep up the positive front and act like everything is ok. When I telll them my truth they get mad and so I feel like it makes sense that they wouldnt want to be with me and shut down even more.
Most days I feel like I will be fine in a while, but I dont feel that way today. Maybe I am just really, really tired.
Hope you all are having a nice day - someone has to do it. :-)

i hope everything youve described there, youre not doing this alone, that you have someone out there, hopefully a mental health professional whom you can turn to? Trust me, in all my years, I know that going at it alone is definitely not the way to go.
good luck take care

It's been 2 years now and I can say that it has been a journey. The one thing that I have learned is that you must have something to look forward to each day. I had my preayers and my cups each morning along with my walks and making my bed and making my breakfast. Then a little tv and cleanup. Then before you know it, the day is done. The in-between things of the day will be there but getting up with a good attitude and something to look forward to really made my day each day. So I think time heals along with having something to look forward to each day. I hope you all have something to look forward to each day. If not plan something the night before and then, you'll have something to look forward to. Best, Loyal Day
I've learned to breath deeply when you want to do something bad. This helps me a lot
I learnt that there is a world full of caring people
Step 60: Learnt that there are so many useful resources in the forums here. Learned the importance of mindfulness.
I shouldn't spend my good days in fear of something to ruin it, but the bad days inticipating the good things that will happen eventually.
200 steps good journey
