A very difficult day but I came out of it looking forward and not back. In football terms an honourable draw.

A draw is always better than a loss.. Hope tomorrow is easier for you though x
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
I’m sorry to report it was another difficult day and this trend is likely to continue for a little while until I can come to terms with the major changes to my life. The positive thing is I haven’t gone backwards, maybe the medication is kicking in or I’m becoming more resilient, perhaps both.
I think I need things to look forward to so I’ve booked a table for lunch with my mum and dad for Friday lunchtime and joined a local dining club for an evening out at the end of the month. The dining club date may need a little fortitude but it’s a challenge.
Then I’d say that was your positive. Joining something like that takes courage when things are still difficult. Be proud of yourself
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Thanks. I get the feeling that booking the date was the easy part but even so I appreciate it does take a degree of positive attitude to do it. Thanks for your continued support, I can’t tell you how much it means to me.
Where are you going with your parents? Is it somewhere you've been before?
Have you signed up on your own or with a friend?
Doing these things on a tough day makes them even more of an achievement. You are working so hard.

Friday is a pub/restaurant we’ve been to before but not local to me so I don’t foresee any social issues. The dining club is a complete wild card but the restaurant is easy access and I‘ve eaten there before and I like the menu. It will be interesting to see how I react. I’ll reserve judgment about the dining club evening until nearer the time when I will have more idea about my self-confidence or lack of it.
Sorry, I should have said the dining club evening is a solo event for me.

That sounds really good!

Sorry to report today as a loss. Sad but not giving in yet.
Never give in... Do you want to talk about why today wasn't so good?
