Today has been an ok day for me despite being in pain and the usual depressed feelings. First I went to the walk in centre about my intercostal muscular injury and the triage nurse was lovely but the second one implied I had wasted their time going (!) as they do nothing with rib injuries anyway, and although I pointed out that I had come to check what I had injured as I was not sure I felt irritated.
However, a friend is coming for lunch tomorrow and the idea felt too much but I made myself go shopping to get some nice things for lunch and that brightened me up a bit. Then I made myself a really healthy lunch and sat in the garden eating it. The sunshine and flowers really cheered me up and I decided to just do a little bit of pottering to see what I could manage. In the event I spent the whole afternoon working out there despite the pain and now I feel much better for it, still in pain but healthier.
I hope you have all had a good day today too and are enjoying the gorgeous weather where you are.
thank you, I didn't exactly FEEL cheery but I did cheery things which is something!
Well done Sue. It just proves that those with depression have to do something to get motivated instead of the other way round. Sounds like you have a good day. xx

Yes I did have the energy to motivate myself a little. Thanks for your good wishes, Suex
It's horrible when medical people make you feel silly. If we all had the same knowledge as them, they'd be out of their jobs! Hope you have a lovely lunch with your friend x
