What a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL news Juney
It DEFINITELY shows that you are healing and that you will "make it" - I am sooo happy to hear that you had fantastic day - just try to stay on that "high" as long as you can , and during bad days remember it - remember that all is possible !!!

What a lovely day for you Juney

Great Juney. I think you are healing :) I wish I also had someone to have sex with. LOL :)

hehe lars, once you're totally healed you'll have the energy to find someone. if i didn't have my boyfriend already i would definitely not be dating now so i don't blame you!!

Feeling better Lars

Oh I think he DEFINITELY feels better

That is such great news! I have a huge smile on my face. You sound so triumphant. You needed a day like that to feel normal again and prove you are on your way.
It is so nice to feel like a woman and not like a patient, isn't it?

Juney -
Thats great! I am so glad your feeling better! I am sure things will get better from here on out! Are you still taking the benefiber?

Juney !!
Sounds like a fantastic day!! May there be many more great days to come in the future! You making the effort to improve your life, in itself, exemplifies your persistence & strength. One of my closest friends is taking prozac and has suffered from anxiety attacks for some time now. Sometimes she'll be having a fantastic week (or even few weeks) and then one day will completely discourage her because the tears, stress, anxiety, etc. will come again. But I've mentioned to her before that this is all part of healing and it is perfectly normal - not wrong, not abnormal, not unwarranted - to cry every now and then or to feel upset/frustrated. It may feel like you're not progressing if you have another "down day" with lots of tears and stress, even I have days like that and am like "oh dear I'll never feel better..." But truthfully I think there is hope for us all, physically, mentally, psychologically and spiritually. Sometimes the "down days" can be fantastic because they remind us of the good days and how lucky we are to have so many good days, good moments. It looks like things are improving for you though!!!
Today I met an amazing man who turned out to be a Psychiatrist, he was leading a discussion somewhere and I happened to show up to the right place at the right time. He mentioned that just closing your eyes and sitting silently slows down your brain waves to 1/2 of the speed they are at during normal sensory processing. He said even if you just do this a few times a day, breathing deeply, it'll lower your blood pressure, reduce your anxiety, calm your spirit, and benefit your overall health. Just thought I'd share :)
Take care and thanks for sharing your awesome day !!

LOL. i did take an Aleve yesterday morning so that may have made things feel so good, but that's ok. i'm going to try and remind myself of yesterday whenever i feel low in the future. it was such a good day and i felt pretty normal. maybe proof that things are slowly improving?? i hope so.
i'm not sure if the prozac has kicked in or not, they say it can take a few weeks. i still cried a lot this week, but after yesterday i think the tears have dried for a little while at least.

Good for you Juney
I don't remember what that is anymore, my head is in the :flush:
