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...
Hi Tony,
Do you talk to them while you're away (telephone, on the net)? Do you just get depressed when you are away from them, or is depression a permanent thing? Do you have pictures of them to hand?
Message me if you want to talk.
I hope so.
I think there are little things you can do like the members are suggesting. I pray a lot. I WRITE DOWN how I am blessed. I do talk to my family at minimum, once a day.
I know it is nothing like actually being there. Lastly, my doc gave me an as needed xanax perscription, so I can mello-out and not have this huge wave of emotions.
Of course I am busy in the day, but at night it is good to get a good nights sleep anyway. You know how everyone thinks traveling is so glamourous? We know better--right.
Have you thought about a video cam on both ends. I do that--it makes me happy to see my little guys and I think it is good for them to see me too. I've even sang "the goodnight song" this way (with dad,laptop and wifi).
Be strong. You are working for them and you will be home soon.
