Still doing better

[Olinick]

Today I have actually taken a shower, gotten dressed, opened up the windows on this beautiful summer day and am getting a little bit of things accomplished. It really does feel good. I am so glad I forced myself to start this exercise program twice a week. It is getting me out among people and getting me moving which will all help the anxiety and depression. In fact I slept a good amount for me last night and didn't even need to take klonopin. Maybe tonight I will take it and see if I could actually get more than 5 consecutive hours of sleep tonight. My body wouldn't know what to think.

Little steps are so important! Getting more sleep is great! Getting out of bed and showering are great steps! Getting little things done is HUGE! Glad you found an exercise program that's helping your body, mind, and social life. I hope you continue to see progress! ps. cute dog in your pic!

Actually, that isn't my dog. I do have a dog but he isn't a golden or lab like in the picture. You aren't the first one to think that it is my dog. If I could figure out how to get pictures on the computer I would put one of my dog.

I can relate to your post soooooo much! It's so nice to know somebody else out there feels like they need to force themselves to even shower sometimes. It's not that we're disgusting people. Others just have no idea how hard the simplest things are when your mind is stuck in a loop. Good job, sweety! I hope you continue to get better and better and carry on your life in happiness. <3
