Anyone out there that wants to share today?

Hi ami2. Happy New Year!

How have you been doing? We are always as close

as a "message away". xx

Happy New Year to you too, Agora1. So glad you replied. You were a ray of hope that first time I got my nerve up to become part of this group. I had a wonderful Christmas (week) and almost felt like my old self but now struggling again. What's up with you?

[Agora1 in reply to ami2]

I'm glad you remember me. You did get a lot of responses that day. I'm glad

to know that it helped knowing you weren't alone. Nice to hear that your

Christmas week went well. As for you struggling again, that's normal this time

of year and especially New Year's Day. I think of it as the weekend is over attitude

and people dreading Monday and going back to work. With New Year's Day, a whole

year is laid out before us which can bring up anxiety as well as depression. Someone

on the forum recently printed a post that stated "we don't have to see the whole

stairwell but just take that one step at a time". How true is that ami?? We all want

guarantees in life, we don't like changes as we live in the mentality of "what if".

Now that you are with this group of people who like yourself struggle with ups and downs, reach out for support. Support, understanding, comfort is always available

to us. Reaching out to others can also be just as helpful.

Having a purpose for each day no matter how big or small gives you a reason to get

out of bed. I'm so glad you became a part of this group. It's going to be okay now.

2019 is just the start of a fresh new year waiting for you to embrace. Love & Hugs xx

Thanks so for the hugs and support. Yes, just one goal for the day is all I can handle some days and that was a good reminder. Grateful I'm able to do that now. Thanks again.

Thanks for replying, kenster 1. Every day is a new beginning but I'm really being thrown this year by the beginning of this New Year. But as Agora1 reminded me. Sometime it's only setting one goal for the day that helps and I'm glad I'm able to do that now...no matter now small that goal may be. Hope your day is going good for you.
