Hello lovely people! ✨
@DownMoreThanUp You said "My good intention today is to let my depressive mood bring me good life holding on to what is good instead of letting bad times steal such from me." I am curious to know how the intention of sitting with what feels good is going?
@Kashmina how has studying been for you this week? And have you had any interactions that have made you smile?
@Dimity Have you been to your craft group again? Also, how has your daily reading intention being going?
@ENKELI How has your exercise routine been feeling? I hope your friend explores the 'one small promise' idea. It really is so helpful.
@Glisten YES! The doing is exactly what helps to shift our state of being. What things have you been doing for yourself this week?
@Chasingsunsets How is your mind map coming along?
@Cuddlebear I am curious to know how you are adjusting to your medication changes now? Here for you, always.
@Appleblossom How has simply showing up felt for you?
@PeppyPatti I love your reflections about how helpful your automatic inclination towards putting on a guided meditation was, especially when you needed support.
Thank you all for sharing. 💛

Hi @AuntGlow
There's one I'd like to change up a little...
Continue the routine of going to the gym of a morning.
Sit for half an hour each day with a coffee after work and just take a moment to breathe.
Drink more water.
Read each night before bed.
Do my home work set by my counsellor - my journalling task to write about my best work day, take a few days to meet my own needs, make a list of the skills that I have which are transferrable.

I might follow a few of these myself. 👀
Please keep me updated with your progress. 🫶

I think there has been a change in my showing up. I always tried to do right, but recently I have been showing up with more of me, and expressing my emotions and needs more, than only meeting other people’s needs. That said, I am in leadership tomorrow and Sunday. I have an extra session with my psychiatrist Friday, cos I need it. It’s the first time I ever was offered an extra session as the secretary could tell how distressed I was. Mostly I was afraid of CATT team escalation, so always down regulating myself.
Showing up is still enough for my intention, but I was so distracted and distressed talking with psychiatrists secretary this afternoon that I actually forgot to go to my physio appointment for a few hours. I guess I will call them tomorrow.

@AuntGlow no craft group but I've also joined an exercise class.
I lost sight of my reading intention. Hopefully I'll return to it. Things have been difficult. I really do need to stop spiralling and unwind at night.

Oh. @ENKELI i personally was having a giggle over her behaviour. Tantrum included.
I’m in Launceston and went on a chair ride over something like bush and water. I thought, when in the chair swinging from a to b that if I moved my face which is connected to my skull, ide fall off.

Hello @AuntGlow I have withdrawn from my studies and feel very good about this. Not as much with others in regards to smiling but with myself 😊

@AuntGlow Hi dear. It has been a real mission the last few days, on Tuesday i was so down that i felt psychically sick from it. Yesterday i started pretty down, but by late evening i was doing much better. Then i slept for 6 hours in my first sleep last night. Which is basically unheard of.
So yes i'm rapt how productive holding onto good life got me through this dip.
@Kashmina @PeppyPatti @Dimity @Appleblossom
