Good morning DS friends! today seems like it will be a good day. God is amazing friends and he does wonders in this world. I wanted to gove you all an update on my last posting regarding the numbness and the tingling in my head. As i had disclosed with you friends i was on some medication to lose weight though i am not so overweight i wanted to drop a few pounds but it wasnt worth it those pills were literally making me sick. So i joined the gym! Im doing this the right way friends one steo at a time. Today i woke up feeling great anxiety is under control and i feel fresh if that makes sense hehe. I wanted to share this because not only should we share our bad days but also the good days that we have and not only to share them but to be thankful for these days where we feel blessed to be alive. God is great DS friends. I hope all you have a magnificent day full of comforting hugs for all those that need one today :)

Personally, I believe it's more important to talk about the good days. Sure, it's helpful to ask for support on the bad days, but the good days are the ones I want to duplicate. Just hoping. . .

Good to hear you made it through the tingle scare. Thanks for the update.

Yes arfie I agree with you. I think we need positivity more than anything. I have my really bad days where I cant even stand being around people but I manage and today I feel anxious that's just who I am but it wont take the wheel today I am! and it feels good to be feeling better little by little. Hope you have a great day arfie :)

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. I'm also very glad to hear that you've joined gym. That's a much better option than taking any meds to lose weight. Just remember to take it easy & not go too crazy trying to lose all the weight at once! Getting fit & strong does wonders for our emotional health as well! Remember to eat healthy, balanced diet, drink plenty of water. I used to be overweight until I got married and moved into a different state away from friends and family. I didn't have a job for a while, so I joined a gym and went frequently. I went more out of boredom than anything else, but I got into a great shape! I did some weights for muscle strength few days a week alternating with running. As I got healthier, I naturally lost cravings for snacks (salt & sugar) and my metabolism got "reset" and became normal (my metabolism was abnormally slow prior to then). Being fit and full of energy really helped me handle the stresses of new environment and marital conflicts that frequently arose in my early years of marriage.

I'm thankful to God for you. It's so easy to forget His goodness to us, but He is always loving and always faithful... even when we forget that! Enjoy His blessings today, dear Sparklettswindow~ hugs

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
