Hey Markus! I’m just checking in after a long workday. I hope you’ve had a good day. I hear you - getting that structure is helpful but sometimes in life it’s hard. I always feel like I’m recommending to everyone to make lists but it’s so true! I love making lists. I used to have to make them while undergoing episodes and recovery but it’s something I’ve incorporated into life in general. I make my building grocery/household list. I make a To Do list of chores and cleaning and house projects. And I even make lists when I’m depressed to motivate myself - I’d Paint for a bit, write a poem, listen to a meditation, do some exercise, go for a walk and measure my steps, read, watch tv. It works when I’m depressed and works when I get ants in the pants!
Yeah I've had the opposite with Rambo, needed some space from the ever-clingy kitty. So I've been limiting my time, because she's driving me freaking nuts! lol
Oh yeah and I put the snowman away, back in the closet. I'm back to my "straight jacket wearing" Happy Bunny...you can't see the title underneath but it says, "Cute, but Psycho!" lol
I hear you sweetie.... Rascal is a great little companion.... I'm sorry that you're struggling.... I'm not so alone ... I hope that in a few months we'll be able to be more with other people.... Big hug and deep breaths.....xo
