Re: A new start (kind of)

@MDTYes It's hard on the days off when you get caught up in stuff in the house. I plan on relaxing to get through and getting energy for the good parts 🙂

Not sure if you saw @Maggie 's mind map @MDT 

I need to learn how to put the right feelings away into the right drawers.

Re: A new start (kind of)

I like that @Appleblossom @Maggie

Very visual and it incorporates things into it. I might emulate it and do something similar

afternoon everyone. Making an earlier sunday post today.

I feel a bit lost lately. I'm not sure why. Maybe it really is just the adjustment that's finally kicking in. For the most part I think I've coped with it all rather well.

I'm beginning to see the value in patience with myself. This is perhaps something I have struggled with A LOT in the past few years.

This impatience breeds a sense of insecurity in who I am, where I'm heading and what I think about myself.

Now that things are "more together" if I can use that expression I am beginning to look to other areas of my life that need improving.

I need to stop beating myself up and over the head about things.

I need to stop imaging horrible, bad and tragic scenarios.

I need to start being kinder to myself and patience with myself.

I need to actively acknowledge how far I have come since 2012 (when i was first diagnosed)

But on top of that I think I need to just live in the moment a bit more. Maybe some meditative exercises would help with that the most. Thursday and Friday just gone I needed to sleep for 45mins during the day as I just felt exhausted. Maybe because of my sleep pattern I'm not so sure.

There will always be new stressors in life from now on so I want to learn how best to counter them and balance them.

Any help or suggestions are always welcome.

thanks again forumites 🙂

Re: A new start (kind of)

you are doing really well @MDT  and you only seem to get down when not working or after a few days? perhaps you need something to fill in those times a bit more?

.. Also .. you are not a diagnosis? okay thats a bit contentious maybe, but you were at a stage back then and went to people, who to be honest, were only ever going to diagnose you .. just sayin ..Cat Happy
