Hi so my new dr has suggested I do this- I wanted to share it with BB people because my mood swings/depression/anxiety are really affecting my relationships with those around. I share it because it may just help others.
i hope it does!
day one 2nd April 2017.
Wow what a day! I went from being absolutely miserable, to hyper (my super-happy-not-on-drugs-high), to feeling like I was in the darkest pit of no return in the space of 3 hours but it was my dad who would have normally put me down and told me I'm "stupid" who actually got me out of my little pit of doom.
for the first time, he sat with me and we had an honest talk about a kind of future we'd both like in each of our lives and he helped me map out a budget. He saw me hurting myself over past mistakes and found a way gentler to turn those around - without anger or out downs or yelling, swearing, demanding or questioning, just a simple "here to help for a future" manner which I loved!
weve never done that before. He's always just lectured or yelled at me until I switch off, walk away or forget any promises to him and end up doing the opposite, running away and spending all my money on bad sugary food to make myself feel a little better usually.
dad was just patient and understanding. I think he finally gets me, my behaviour. I think I finally get him too.
Its nice.
Mum and dad both thanked me too for finally getting around to cleaning a few things today and cooking a meal last night. It was good to feel free to contribute again. I want to do that more and be more healthy, wholesome...yeh ghads, I'm becoming domestic agh lol but I'm liking it. Not feeling too moody/mood-swinging, feeling somewhat satisfied. And loved...and thankful to two members on here (White Knight and Croix bless you both)
Hope that feeling stays and everyone here has a good night too!!
youve got a (slightly sideways) friend in me
bed time! Niight!
