"Try to succeed, even it it hurts.....a lot."
6:05am Sunday
Tired & Thankful Mood
Monday, November 2, 2009 | A General Update story

Everyone has touched my heart with your latest journal comments - I see; the love & feel it and thank you for helping me through this.

 

I never fell asleep last night until about 6:30AM, just very antsy, and trying to think of positive ways to help my current situation.  Feeling as though as if I attempt it  - give my best shot something good has to happen eventually.

 

Today was also my 1st appointment this afternoon with group - two therapists and minimal amt. of people all with different life issues.  At my turn, I cried - but quickly got through the reason I was there.  I go back Wed, then Thurs. morning and again on Friday  -

 

So tired when I got home, I fell asleep after dinner - I could feel my heart rate dropping so I layed down and went right to sleep -  shouldn't have -hoping I turn around and get right back to bed.

 

Just wanted to mention a book one of the therapists recommended - 

 

"The Year of Magical  Thinking"by Joan Didion - in case any of you were interested in reading it.

 

Well, another day - and I got through it - tomorrow more work - schedule doctors appointments with my cardiologist, find a neurologist, really want to get the medical issues under control - that's a must for right now.

 

 

Love to all of you,

Deni

    Good to know you are moving forward, and yes the medical issues are top priority! It has got to be rough and I am sorry. I like the title of the book, thanks for the tip.
    One day at a time, it is so overwhelming sometimes, but I just keep on going.
    Check out my pics, I posted one of me and my Dad, thought you might get a kick out of it. Love you girl, rebecca

    I know when Dan went to group this summer - 5 days a week for 3 weeks he would come home exhausted & take a nap right away - his therapist said that means you are doing what you are suppose to - that group is not any easy thing to go through. Good luck & keep up the good work - I also believe that something good is going to come out of everything you have been going through lately - just keep putting one foot in front of the other & do the best you can with each & every day God has given us. I am pulling for you. Hugs, Ann

    I hope that group really helps, it will be exhausting, but anything worthwhile usually is! I do hope tha you can get on top of your medical issues though, that will give you the energy you need to heal emotionally too. Hugs to you, Charlotte.
