A more positive 2013...hopefully!

[Annie0904]

Well I survived Christmas with 14 guests and today have been to a family funeral (My step son in laws mother) and I coped really well with only the usual emotions that would be expected from anyone at a funeral. I don't think I have been really over anxious for over a week now so hopefully I can look forward to a happier New Year. I am still feeling tired a lot and on my higher dose of medication. I have also bought myself a new book that someone on here recommended 'The mindful way through Depression' and also a book on natural HRT. I am hoping these will help me to have a more positive 2013

I dont know how you did it, annie. getting thro xmas and having to go to a funeral today. that's a huge achievement. i like it that you can reflect on maybe the last week or so & can recognise improvement. i suppose it's all part of our up & down lives really. Mindfulness is something I havent really looked into that much but from what I have seen already it is good. I would reckon it'll be a good read. I find self-help books really calming. Also sometimes it helps me unpick why I react to certain situations in the way that I do. You'll have to let us know what you think. Natural HRT, that sounds interesting too. I'm with you and everyone else on the "more positive 2013".

It was a bit heart wrenching seeing my step son in law so upset but I got through it..shows you can be strong when you have to be.

I hope 2013 is a kinder year to you Annie. You did so well to get through the funeral when you are struggling so much yourself. It is very difficult to see the ones you lover suffering.
