Just received a voicemail from my very supportive friend. She is the one who found my therapist for me and also does counseling. She can't really counsel me as we are friends, but she is supportive and keeps in touch with me daily and helps me to realize things to be grateful for with what she calls a gratitude list and just generally helps me to keep my sh*t together some days..lol.
Anyway, I had been telling her I feel so beaten down and I had put on a few pounds due to being on the first anti-depressant and general depression. Not getting out and taking care of myself properly, eating well, etc. I have not been to a beautician or done anything nice for myself in probably a year, like last summer. Soooo...she made us both a hair appointment for this Saturday for the works. :)
Hair color, cut, wax, and then afterwords we hope to shop for a new outfit and perhaps lunch.
She is also going to show me where a spray tan place is and if the hours allow, as I work so much, I hope to get a spray tan sometime next week.
I know I have a long way to go to feel better on the inside, but perhaps if I can improve my outside and actually like what looks back at me in the mirror and get out with a friend, it will boost my spirits.
I am very thankful to have a friend like this and I am also thankful for the people on this board. You guys are often times my strength when I really feel I have none left..Thank you all so very much.
