I would like to challenge everyone here to find one good thing in their day and post it. I'll go first.
1. I took a really good nap and didnt have any nightmares.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I love that!
Well after seventeen years of marriage my husband can still get me hot with just a look.

I'm just back from lunch in a pub with a good friend of many years. We talked, smiled, held hands, communicated. And the sun was shining too!

How wonderful for you Ber!! It is always good to get with friends and just be. I hope you can do it more often.
Love and Hugs

I got out of bed and have managed to stay out of bed so far by sending supportive messages to people on DS.

I organized at least a dozen things in the garage. I started with no goal just to do one thing and kept moving and wow. I hope i can move tomorrow-i washed my car by hand the other weekend and it took 2 days to recover. I thought i was poisoned until i remembered that i washed the car. Can't be doing crazy stuff like that anymore.

I got rated a 4 out of 5 for a writing sample I did. It's almost impossible to get a 5, so I'm pretty happy. PogoPalOj, thank you for starting this discussion :)

I did not have an urge to cut today.

I cried. It helped, it gave me a little room for perspective :)

The end of the day and just relaxing watching some of my TV shows.

This is so funny and coincidental. My husband and I both have depression. Just last week I started this thing with him where I asked him to tell me what is something he feels positive about in that day. Since then he asks me the same thing. I think it has helped a lot to know that even in our darkest days if we think hard enough we can find something positive and keep going on in spite of our daily struggles. I am thankful it is Saturday and the weekend. I am thankful for the people here who show so much love and support.

I was able to get up, not get mad at the four dogs as they stampeded toward me to let them outside and got my oven fixed today. I have social anxiety, but I managed to have a conversation with the man.
