15 months since I fell off my emotional horse.
Progress report......... Oct/Nov/Dec
I am working hard but it's still good to have a job. Helps pay bills!
I remember how awful it was when I couldn't safely work through insomnia.
Family life is difficult but, hey ho, isn't it always.
Beginning to understand adolescents ( from father's point of veiw :unsure:)
Got past another birthday in November.
Still jogging when I can. It reduced my BP to healthy levels (one less thing to WORRY about :D) Helps manage stress of work.
I am now off antidepressants after 15 months. I am going to look around for different anti anxiety alteratives. Symptoms much reduced. (Although placebo seems the best. Strength of mind to succeed helps)
Fear symptoms much reduced. Goodbye adrenaline...except when needed!
Beginning to enjoy more things again.
Still trying to let go of some emotional baggage but still learning.
Not giving in to any of those anxiety/fear symptoms. Blips a plenty but it is getting easier.
Trying not to make too much of failures, and trying to praise my successes more.
My wife still supports and loves me. Children, adolescents ... well they're exactly that.
AND... Still crazy after all these years!
It is a difficult trip.......but the only one. We all know that.
I know that for some people this can be a difficult time but I wish you all a fear free festive break, and a prosperous new year, emotionally if not financially. See you in the new year.
Keep on trucking... Except where there is snow!!!
Merry Christmas XX ..... off to get a tree... rooted, cut or synthetic? Oh what problems....
