It's ok and I do understand. I tend to do my daily whining if I check in too early. This is a safe place to bitch and moan and yell at the top of your lungs...IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!

When I read about some of the activities other people are taking part in, I've been known to feel sorry for myself because I get totally used up just trying to work a little. Where's the fun? Not much of that going on here.

In reality, I'm happy when I know someone is having a nice day or their pain is low. I truly care for this wonderful group. I need all the friends I can get and I hope that I can be a good one in return.

To keep going day after day...it takes a flock!

Hugs and clucks...

JC I understand more than you know. Your invited to my pity party if you feel like coming. The whole flock can come, lol. I love you all.

I'm so unhappy. Taking care of an ungrateful dad while in my own hell. I'm really scared I'm going to have a stroke he's driving me insane daily.

I hurt from head to toe. I have no life, no reason to get out of bed except to let Bella out to potty. I honestly don't know how much more I can life with.

Misery loves company, anybody want to come over?

Its the same for most of us, we get up, we survive and then we go back to bed and then it starts all over again the next day.
Sometimes i sit here for a few mins wondering what to say because its the same old same old. Thats life i guess. But you can do little things to make you feel better and a bit more in control.
What has helped me lately is thinking about what i'm unhappy about, writing a list if need be, then "what can i change on that list?" "Is there another way of looking at it?"
You might find this useful:-
Goal setting
1. Decide what you want to achieve - be specific!
2. Make sure the goal is realistic and achievable. Set a time frame that you want to achieve this by - again, realistic and achievable. Do you have the necessary resources?
3. Clarify your goal - what is it you really want to achieve? What for? Is this something you need, or just want? How important is it? What difference will it make to you?
4. Write down you goal - add as much detail as you can about what you want to achieve. Write down the steps you need to achieve on the way to the ultimate goal. What do you need to do? When? How? What help do you need? How will you know when you've got there? What will you be doing differently? What will other people notice about you?
5. Do it! Start with the first step - don't try to leap ahead, just take things steadily and achieve one step at a time.
6. Review your goals every day, asking yourself what you've done to work towards your goal? What do you need or what are you able to do today? Stick with it, keep at it. You will much more likely to achieve your goal if you are determined and persistent.
7. Congratulate and reward yourself when you achieve the steps on the way, and when you achieve your goal.

One of my goals was have a go at a new recipe every Monday, Fridays i do the weekly shop, so Thursday i get the recipe book out or i look online so that i can make a list of ingredients i need to get for Monday.
Another goal was help out for a few hours in a charity shop. Ive been so isolated and friendless for years it was something i had to change and i'm trying to change.



***Small changes to our daily routine can make a difference!***

Great answers and suggestions..

It's the same for me... Same o same o
But it's the high lite of my day to come here and read everyone's replies no matter how simple it may do. And I worry when someone doesn't check in too.

So if you don't have anything to say you can always encouage someone else or just say good morning:)

Or give a hug to all

(((Hugs)))

you all have great answers and my thinking is that this is a group for people who are depresed and want to get better so sometimes we need to tell it like it is and just doing that helps us and maby it helps someone else in here knowing that they arent the only one who feels the same way ......................i enjoy hering the good things you are doing and i respect when you put your heart out here for us to see and trust us not to reject you ...........or say negative things this is to me is one of the good things about the group there is trust here ...............................god bless.....................doing the gool thing is something i do aqnd sometimes i get things done and othertimes i just cant but i dont batter my self i just say to myself tomoro is a new day ..............i live one day at a time .......................and i am happy to be a part of this family................
