How's it going people (or just Nelida since no one else is here yet lol). I've been okay for the last week actually. Started going out and jogging and I feel it's helped me a lot. I still am bored a lot of the time, but it's better that I'm just bored and not sad and bored. I actually wanted to go out jogging this morning, but it was raining so hard. Like I probably could have just sucked it up and went, but I didn't. Kinda disappointed. I feel I just make excuses a lot and that was another time. It's supposed to be raining tomorrow and the day after too. Hopefully it isn't so bad, or hopefully I can just do it anyway since I don't wanna keep missing days. I feel like the more days I miss the harder it will be to go again.
Also right now I'm just waiting for the new season of Survivor to come on in 20mins. Anyone else watch this?

I know I am hoping more people will join! That is great news! It rained here today and I knew from the moment I woke up that today was going to be an off day and I had to tell myself it is okay to have off days. Don't be disappointed in yourself, because that is a sign of negative thinking pattern. Do what you can. Beginning to exercise is great, don't expect to be great at it or keep up with it. Maybe try once a week to take a jog and add more days when you feel up to it. Also, maybe next time this happens is there something that you could do in your house that will keep you occupied. I do not and I can't believe the show is still going!

Yeah, I try not to think negative, but sometimes it just happens. Guess just kinda frustrated since I actually wanted to jog, but things out of my control (weather) hold me back. Yeah, I'm taking it slow right now since I just can't jog for long periods of time atm. Mostly walking actually, but I wanna still try to do it Mon, Wed and Fri. I just want to have a routine more than anything. Well today when I couldn't go I just decided to stretch, but I wanna be doing that on my off days instead. But yeah I need to find other things to do. Haha, yeah, this is the 33rd season so it's been on forever. It's still pretty enjoyable though as long as the cast is good. So what's been going on with you?

So what's been going on with you? I have been good. I have been anxious to the max today. I had to take a xanex to help calm me down. I needed to ask for letters of recommendation for graduate school and it is a scary process. I just repeated positive sayings and went for it. My professors said yes so I am feeling good right now.

It is scary because they could say no and you can't just simply ask. You have to be very professional about it and I sometimes lack self-confidence so it makes me nervous.

Hello, I'm Minty
I don't know where to start... I guess right now I'm doing "so-so", getting things accomplished yet my depression and anxiety have really been fighting with me; trying to drag me down.
I'm getting therapy and in the process of adjusting my meds so I'm hoping that will help me out.
I love to help people out but I need to make myself a priority and I'm accepting it a bit more that we are number one in our lives and need to better ourselves before we help each other.
That is not to say that I won't give out validation and support here. Right now I am just trying to say that one of my biggest issues right now is not taking care of myself (I hope this makes sense, if not please feel free to ask)
Although I am very happy with all the positive things going on in my life, I still struggle on a day-to-day basis feeling empty, worthless, lethargic and sadly hating myself for no valid reason. I've had this pretty much all my life and I still can't seem to cope.
I've taken up exercising, I'm starting to draw again, my home is looking more like a home every day, meeting new friends offline, started praying to God again (I'm Christian) and I love listening to music. I do what I can to distract myself when depression and anxiety hits, but it's being a total b***h (can we swear in here?)
I feel like the energy is sucked out of me.
I'm feeling safe (meaning I don't want to harm myself or others)
I'm just at the end of my rope here trying to cope with this, ready to just climb into bed and do nothing.
Sorry about the rambling and thank you in advance for reading this.

Hey everyone, I am just checking in with everyone. I know we all have been busy and I am working on trying to upload scanned documents from my phone. My phone seems to be giving me troubles. I want everyone to participate in this little activity.
I want answers to the following questions: What are three words to describe how you currently feel (try using more descriptive words instead of saying basic words e.g. lonely vs sad), what is one thing you are proud of yourself for for this week/month, and what is something you would like to divide and conquer for this week/month?
For next week/weekend: Pick three quotes that you like and provide a description why underneath each of them. Song lyrics or pictures or drawings, etc would work as well.
Me:
1) I am physically and mentally exhausted.
2) I am hopeful
3) I have been slightly scared-I want to please my teachers and do well in my classes
I am proud that when I had a meltdown, I reached out and called my mom. Just hearing her voice and having her mentally tell me what I was going to do next was so helpful and it helped me remain calm the entire time. Something that I want to work on is reading more of my cognitive behavioral therapy workbook and being able to upload useful pages to the resources forum. Not only do I benefit from going back and refreshing myself on techniques that I should be practicing more, but all of you benefit too because I want to be able to share these awesome resources with you all.
