- it can be a physical accomplishment or a thought like thinking of something positive, it can be simply keeping a goal in mind as you go about your day. It can be taking care of yourself - please share!
Right now I am outside looking at the moon and feeling very blessed. In Nature is my happiness.

I'm allowed out of my COVID isolation I've been going out of the house for walks by myself-actually got 6000 steps yesterday-but today I have plans to walk twice with two different friends. I have to make myself take time to rest but I'm feeling pretty symptom free.
TBH, I have a lot of negative stuff going on. (mostly family health)
& I'm overwhelmed. Like.. Overwhelmed to where I would want to stay in bed all day, but I'm here. (& the only reason why I am here, is because you guys are here)
Before, I found this place, I would of had a lot more days (especially with what's been going on lately) of staying in bed the whole day.
I've been stuck via bad health and covid isolation, then to cap it all colourful reaction to AZ vaccine, for the last five years. I have been living on my own for 19 years, but that dream of somewhere cut off from 'normal' life, that is pushing me forward, always hoping it is just around the corner, in reality have not had ANY sort of holiday in eight years!My favourite sister is going through a mental breakdown, my other sister cannot comprehend her plight, just wondering when she will be back out again, her heart is in the right place, but?
I have bad health always have, when one medical worry is overcome, another soon arrives around the corner, I am lucky in that the house is all mine, and my full pension is due shortly, MAYBE a chance to get out of this hellhole existence? Staying in bed all day, does not help, maybe whilst you are lying there set small targets, to do the next day? I used to walk around the block at night, maybe five ten minutes, I wore a bright yellow jacket, and a brown 'cowboy' [actually it is a Boer hat] it clears the mental system! Actually a couple of times I would see a curtain shuffle, probably saying "Its that nerd again out for his evening ramble!" Especially good because I was in isolation during covid pandemic, I'm vulnerably disabled, near the top of the vaccine list, and it got rid of the mental cobwebs!
Thanks for sharing. Sorry about your sister. Wow that’s a long time to not take a holiday! Since I’m a mom there’s no such thing as a holiday. I’m sorry about your health issues. Have you seen a doctor lately?
Yes I have not seen her since last year, she has been trying to sell a house, sale agreed? Financially tight, but I can dream? I am currently waiting for results of a MRI and a biopsy for Prostate cancer, everyone on holiday including medical staff! Yes I have seen plenty of doctors recently, they all seem to agree that I should downsize from my house, a change should do me good, living on my own for nineteen years, not really recommended for a man like myself with a colourful medical history!
I understand. I’ve been in a spot like you are in. Where the pain just seems too much and you wonder how you can keep it up. After every difficulty comes ease. Do you want to talk here or through pm? I’m here for you.
I am very grateful that when I begged to be taken to our local walk-in clinic
... and no one will take me
... and I am berated for wanting to waste money and time on a futile endeavor
... and I'm too hysterical to wait for and take a taxi
... Well, I am grateful the freaking Benzos knock me on my butt within an hour. I don't spend the night hurting myself. Tomorrow morning's another thing. But I'll deal with now now.
lately whenever i feel overwhelmed or want to cope my anxiety by binge watching movies i try to control myself by coming here even though it fails sometimes i dont feel bad bcoz i can see how far i have come already with this addiction and the only thing i need to do is control myself to not feel overwhelmed when working towards my goals.. but i am happy that i have so many people to welcome me here and i feel like i am a part of this family and i am needed here it just makes me happy to know i have someone to talk to no matter what happens..
