You guys! I'm so excited! Granted, this doesn't take much anymore but I'm super proud of myself and I wanted to share.
I purged yesterday, I woke up with this sudden urge to just clean and get rid of stuff. I took out 4 garbage bags and a box of just...well, canned goods that had expired, things I wasn't using anymore (or never used and they were expired), broken things, etc. I started a bag for things I'm going to donate and I started a pile of things I'd like to try to sell.
I slept GREAT on Wednesday night (thank you to my anxiety medication and a hot bath to help with the fibro pain) and woke up yesterday, ready to do some work. It's been a LONG time since I've felt that way and it felt really good to just get things organized.
I didn't get to my spare bedroom which bums me out but I plan on doing that next weekend.
I even woke up this morning, proud of myself.
I've started making some small changes in my life and I feel like it's helping.
I have a tendency to have these spurts of happy or excited and then I fall back into the same pit of depression and anxiety. I'm going to work really hard (again), hopeful that this won't happen again. Or if it does, I won't stay there as long.
I did break a glass yesterday that was a gift that made me pretty upset. But, as I cleaned it up, I realized it could be replaced and I just tried to move on.
I've also decided to forgo a second job. I work 50 hours a week as it is. I'm not sure I can do much more. Maybe a few hours on a Saturday? I don't know. I'm still tossing it around but I'm leaning more towards no.
Plus, I am attending a Stranger Things party this weekend! I AM SO EXCITED!!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Thanks for reading. Love you guys.
Have you thought about volunteering? It's very rewarding. I'm very happy for you that you are feeling excited! You have really come a long way.. hard work = progress!!!
