Yes, Blufftuff, it's certainly a fantastic Thread to write down our personal achievements that we may So find difficult to do at times especially suffering from mh.
On Monday and Tuesday this week it had been raining non stop so heavily that many people in the neighbouring area were flooded out. It distressed me to hear and see it on t.v. Then came my turn, the water rising, just keep sitting not going anywhere. Having no or very little energy due to mh to do anything physically at all, I managed after a Big Self Talk to get my gum boots on, got a showel and with all my strength and might hand dug trenches so the water could escape. It took so much from me that I almost passed out from the exertion of this very hard work. Then had to release the water tanks. By that time I was standing knee deep in water trying to push it downhill with a big broom. Though this may be a reasonable task for most people but for me, I felt I had Pushed Mt Everest. Certainly paid the price both physically and mentally on Wednesday. Was barely functioning. Went out on Wednesday eve to have a look to see how things were. Was well worth the hard work. All flood waters gone, thus saving property.
I was sinking back into the dark hole again, not as fast previously, have absolutely no control over it so when all this strange weather patterns starting going haywire with dangerous electrical storms to flash flooding, it affected my mh severely. So this was my achievement for the last few days. That's why I find this Thread so encouraging. I'll get through all this again by reading many good positive things happening on the BB Forums.
Thanks Everyone:)
With kind regards to All at BB.
