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...
One of my major struggles is that I have a hard time dealing with people, mainly the ones I don't know. My meds help a lot, but I have a tendancy to see all other people as alien. For me it is like they are completely outside of my world. I can't even imagine having to interact with them.
So I just try to keep my social interactions to small groups if I can. And when I go out, I simply try to remind myself that my friends are there and I will be ok.
last night I was looking at pictures of my friends at parties i should have been at that i didnt get invited to as i hadnt been around for so long.
like the forgotten friend.
and if i try go out, theyre like heyyyyyy, then they do their own thing, as theyve always done, but i get paranoid and then try escape un noticed.
then theres the arguments with people or the lies you have to tell to get out of things.
i have a puppy.
If i go out, he goes to.
i focus everything on him, and that helps.. a lot!!!
but sometimes even thats too much.. to walk him.
i dont know hun.
just force yourself that little bit further each time.
and ipod? or mp3 player? sit in a park with a book.
and pat yourself on the back each baby step you make?
so i stay indoors.
and tell people nothing.
most ppl i have told, usually say yeh me to or my mum is, or my friend is or sumthing like that. im yet to meet anyone who goes. ooohhh get away, freak, other than my bosses.
i work as a photographer doing studio portraits and we have a lot of kids in, so i cant be in there when im anything less than ok!
but i love the job. so i dont wnt to lose it. but ive been off now for... ummm three months and probly will be longer and id only had the job for 5 months in the first place lol! I was off 2 1/2 years b4 that. which they didnt know about.
i cant shut up.
sorry lol
