I had hot beverages with a friend yesterday (notice that it wasn't coffee no matter how much I craved it). She's the friend I can always giggle with. No matter how serious our conversation, we always end up in giggles. She expressed her support, brought me a lovely crocheted angel, and shared ideas that she thought would help.
I worked on watching the train go by yesterday -- my term for one of the DBT techniques. Detaching myself from everything else happening and just being in now -- just not taking it all personally. It helped keep negative thoughts at bay.
I analyzed my expenses yesterday and was objective. I identified purchases that I didn't need to make and that really did not add to my life. Nice proactive move on my part.
I have another day of meds under my belt. I've set an alarm on my cell phone to prompt me to take my meds. It worked today and last night. Now I have a visual reminder - the mediset on or beside the computer -- and I've added sound. That feels like another step in the right direction.
Emails from my doctor and other friends were also received yesterday and I feel blessed to have these wonderful people in my life. And I told them so.
Today I work and I will put my feelings in a little unlocked silver box so that I can bring light to my client.
I will take another positive step toward getting myself back to where I want to be after I get back home.
