Hey guys - good feel update here - for the first time in a year (when Iā€™m not super drunk) I slept like pre-fin. I didnā€™t even remember a single dream! And i only woke up once (which is normal for me). Anyways, Iā€™m not really feeling any different with the nice sleep, but I thought Iā€™d share. Also, my GF has told me that my muscle twitching is MUCH less than it used to be, and I am no longer ā€œhonkingā€ and moaning in my sleep, lol. Anyways, small victories.

Progress is progress!

Thanks for posting, Iā€™ve 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 doesnā€™t work like that.

My school of thought is that I think my body ā€œwantsā€ 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 ā€œyes! Itā€™s happening!ā€ If I get a bad day (as today) I wonder if I did something wrong, but I donā€™t 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! Thatā€™s twice now in the last few months. These things never happened previously.

After a rough day I went round my sisterā€™s 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!

Iā€™m really pleased to hear it. I find that when Iā€™m feeling better Iā€™m more moved by music.

Actually, Iā€™ll add something here.

This morning, I was awoken by my girlfriendā€™s alarm clock (6am). Normally Iā€™m 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(!)

Iā€™ve 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! :slight_smile:

I donā€™t have a feel good entry to make yet but hopefully Iā€™ll 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 worldā€™s 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, Iā€™m 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.
