Hi Everyone...
am really greateful for finding my way back here. I have been having a rough time of things the past week or so. I have lost my drive for everything. Teaching, socializing, everything. I don't want to be bothered. I think I am so overwhelmed that I am shutting down. I have been classified as a depressive in the past and I am on antidepressants (although since low carbing i have been slowly decreasing my dose and the response has been great!). I almost feel like I am going into one of those depressions from the past, but I dont know why.
I need to bring the positives back in my life and I need your help. I took a "mental health day" to take care of myself today and that is what I am going to do.
I am going totry to start with what I am grateful for even though I feel so crappy.
1. My boyfriend who has become very supportive and loves me for who I am
2. Fall weather, my favorite time of the year
3. Having a job I usually love
4. Being able to support myself, even though things are tight sometimes
5. My family who is always there when I need them
6. My friends who understand my crazy life and still stand by me
7. My new kitten who I absolutely ADORE
8. Having my LC friends and this support I know I can turn to and not be judged
(Getting hard now...)
9. My weight loss and finding LC, which I always thought was BAD
10. My Goddaughter and "nephew" who I can enjoy and still give back when they get feisy!
Any words of advice would be welcome. Thank you.
