In the past I would've read these suggestions and scoffed..........nothing helps! But even though I still struggle, I've learned some things. Do I necessarily FEEL better after I take a walk? Or a bath? Or treat myself to a movie? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If I get nothing accomplished today but make a sandwich, I'm still in the game. I can make myself do something and still feel yucky, but I did it. It's when I expect myself to feel "fixed" after doing something positive or good for myself that I get more disappointed. Then I put myself down, then the spiral descends lower. I am in the game TODAY. I am here. I am fighting.
I can't cry. O think my medecine is keeping me from feeling
Cry it out With Music Blood Sweat And Tears
Call a friend, Today I spent time taking care of me physically and tried to be enjoy my baby steps
You stop and be grateful for anything. I make a list and prioritize. Take care of what you can and forgive yourself for what is not done
