Recent Moods

Recently I have had sharp ups and downs whilst in London.
I got a reminder of how I don't really fit in with the people that have NO Idea of what we go through daily or within the periods of our illness.
I needed to be reminded.I have come a long way yet I have so far to go.

I found myself thinking how they would freak at the posts we see, the downs we have and the suicidal depths to which we can sink to.They were 'carefree' yet free of care.The level of support here would shame them.

I am now more levelled in the safety of my home and am SO grateful for the friends and support here.Thanks.

What have been your recent moods ?

I was in a good mood yesterday, until my husband came home in a bad mood, took a cheap shot at me (cuz he was mad at an architect). I was still in a bad mood this morning, really bad. But then I came here, and read some posts. And I feel great.

By the way, my DH apoligized, he's has major depression, so it comes out wrong with him too.

Anyway, you're right, just reading how people support each other, and reading the obscene posts, is a mood lifter.

I am much more verbose than than Sick as you see. But then again, I am a woman and I like to DESCRIBE things.

I realised that I had made a 'safe haven'.Just home, work ( which is just a room at the back of a music shop ) and the odd night with friends, family etc.Writing music is isolation is an important thing to me too.

I had forgotten that I was 'safe' in a false way.
Outside of that haven...I was crap.In London I worked good but couldn't gel with the people I met.
True.I felt LOST

It's true.That's what hurts me.
I know the language of the sane...yet they don't know what we really FEEL like saying.
These people were strangers really.
It made my skin crawl.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
