True haha
Hey guys - good feel update here - for the first time in a year (when Iām not super drunk) I slept like pre-fin. I didnāt even remember a single dream! And i only woke up once (which is normal for me). Anyways, Iām not really feeling any different with the nice sleep, but I thought Iād share. Also, my GF has told me that my muscle twitching is MUCH less than it used to be, and I am no longer āhonkingā and moaning in my sleep, lol. Anyways, small victories.
Progress is progress!
Thanks for posting, Iāve been feeling down today and hearing some positive news is helpful.
Funnily enough until a day or so ago, I was feeling like I might be getting over this and had noticed improvements recently. Then everything got bad again! Not as bad as it was, so the trend is still good, but man I wish it was all up and no down.
Do you scrutinize the good days trying to figure out what the common denominator is? I keep doing that and it sorta ruins it.
No, I feel it doesnāt work like that.
My school of thought is that I think my body āwantsā to get back to normal and it will do if I leave it alone long enough.
If I get a good day, I just think āyes! Itās happening!ā If I get a bad day (as today) I wonder if I did something wrong, but I donāt think it bears analysis!
After a real shitty few days and with no intervention my muscles filled with blood, I got a few seconds of spontaneous boners and had a lift in mood! Thatās twice now in the last few months. These things never happened previously.
After a rough day I went round my sisterās house for the evening. We had a really good chat, laughed, cried, hugged, then played some board games. Things are really fucked up, but I feel so lucky to have love and support from my family.
Went on a camping trip with some friends. Had a wonderful time. I had forgotten how great it feels to be surrounded by wild nature!
80 degrees and crystal clear blue skies this summer morning. Felt at peace and I love this time of year. have a list of fun, simple, relaxing things to do this summer:
-sit on my balcony watching the night sky and listening to meditative music with my cousin, staying up the whole night
-BBQ and bonfire with beer and smores in nearby forest
-Play some retro survival horror video games
-Go to the beach and pool
Again after a tough 48 hours with terrible insomnia an hour or so of sleep broken by frightening nightmares and lots of symptoms extreme anxiety, bleeding gums, cold Limbs, dryer skin, suicidal thoughts I started this morning with some weights, muscles filled with blood and my mood is extremely good! These windows keep me going.
Good news @Andrew35!
Iām really pleased to hear it. I find that when Iām feeling better Iām more moved by music.
Actually, Iāll add something here.
This morning, I was awoken by my girlfriendās alarm clock (6am). Normally Iām awake at 4.30.
I generally feel exhausted most of the time, but that extra bit of sleep has done wonders and now I just feel tired(!)
Iāve been quite stressed about something recently but had some good news on that front yesterday which I think might have helped me feel less stressed.
Oh boy yes I 100% fully hear you on that.
My skin has really gotten better of late, lost the rubbery feeling. Go skin!
I donāt have a feel good entry to make yet but hopefully Iāll be able to this summer. Wish me luck.
Good luck, @Mercked! Summer can be a strange time I findā¦ it can seem like everybody in the worldās relaxing and having fun and that sometimes puts me on a bit of a downer, cos I feel so excluded from it all. You know, seeing couples strolling with their arms round each other, looking so happy in a world that feels completely closed to me. Anyway, Iām trying to not put too much pressure on myself to have an amazing Summer and just let the good times come to meā¦ if and when they choose.
