I'm okay. And then I'm not.

Thank you for the overwhelming support in my last post. Things haven't changed since then, and it's a constant fight. It's strange, because I have moments where I feel calm and okay, and think that it will be okay. And then it sort of hits me all over again and I'm drowning. I'm hoping that the moments of being okay will grow, and that the despair will shrink. One day at a time, right.

The woods, today.
I've kept up the exercise and the healthy eating, but today I had a slip. It didn't make me feel any better (doh..) and I won't go there again. Not even my old friend 'comfort food' can help. Thank you for your good thoughts and well wishes.

Sun.

  2. I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time. I've struggled a lot with depression, and I find that time alone in nature clears my head and makes me feel better both physically and mentally.

    I really hope you feel better soon, sending good vibes your way!

  4. Thinking about you, sending love your way. Is there someone you can turn to for support? A Dr you trust, or someone to talk to? You are not alone in this Maren <3

    1. I second the recommendation to see the doctor. I know it can help to take a friend or family member with you- to be your health advocate.

      Hang in there! Pulling for you.

  10. For right now, one day at a time. Take the great days and hold on to them and see where the rest lead. Keep getting out and about, don't stay home to much....just to quiet. Take care of yourself. I'm here to listen. Blessings Maren.

  13. Hang in there - like I said before, I wish I had your motivation - you inspire me each time I ready your posts. I have been out of work for 11 months and you would think that I would be a skinny little thing by now, but nope, can't seem to get exercise into my daily routine - then I would be losing weight. Believe that you are as strong as you are because of the decisions you have made this last year!! Keep it up - know that we are here for you and we are sending you good wishes!!!
