Feeling good

[Lookingforhope20100]

So the past few months I've been working on myself and building up my self-confidence and lately it's been paying off I wake up and I feel great I go to work and work is fun and enjoyable even though it's chaotic and hectic everyday and then I get to come home to my daughter who is so full of energy and I finally have the energy to match hers and to play with her I even took her to our local family museum and I had to take her out kicking and screaming when they closed she had so much fun and then I get to just sit and read and watch TV with my grandmother and for once it's not boring or repetitive it's actually enjoyable and she's starting to talk to me again after a long time I'm not talking to me we still can't talk about serious stuff like my mental health and all that but at least we're talking and I've been going to church which is definitely helping my mental state and I finally got in to see my psychiatrist and they're going to change my meds but not yet but that's okay cuz I'm feeling great for the time being I always have this fear that it's just a calm before the storm but even if that's the case I'm going to enjoy it.

Great news! I have always looked for negative things to arise, but find that enjoying the beauty and calm and happiness is so much better

So glad to hear you're doing better. Maybe the storm has passed. I can't talk to the people closest to me about my mental health and when I do I am careful what I say. They immediately jump to "are you thinking about hurting yourself ?" So most of the time I keep quiet. But I am truly happy for you. HUGS to you and your daughter.

I have a similar situation. I start talking about my issues and they either brush it off or just say, “ change your thinking and will all be ok”. Im like (inside of me) I have tried that but its not working. Best to you.

Any tips you can share with me. Im having a hard time just getting out of bed and starting my day. Usually by the afternoon my mood improves.

When I open my eyes in the morning I make a mental list of things I have to look forward to like today my list is it's a sunny day the birds though annoying are chirping and I say to myself it's going to be a good day and drag myself out of bed and start my morning early like early early that way when everyone is awake im in my happy place
