This past week I saw the psychiatrist, and I set a couple goals:
- Cook fresh at least three times a week.
- Exercise on treadmill at least three times a week.
- Wake up and get dressed every morning at a regular time.
So far I cooked last night as well as tonight. Simple and easy recipes, but the fact that I was able to do it was a big improvement. However, I feel wiped out and completely exhausted. I actually feel mentally ill, and fighting off a panic attack. Normally I find it so hard to even get out of bed in the morning, or even in the afternoon. I've sort of gone back to old habits a bit of my depressive agoraphobic behavior. Hopefully once I start walking on the treadmill more, I will start feeling better. For now... time to take my Clonazepam and Seroquel to relax and have a sleep. Goodnight everyone.
I think you've set up some good and attainable goals; great start! Here from the Monday Mingle and hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. Some days I even hide in my closet when the phone rings ... like that's going to help. But honestly, it sort of does.
ReplyDeleteI find just getting up and taking a shower is a big start. Usually if I can make myself do that, I can make myself go for a walk.
Baby steps.
It's a tough one, but you're not alone.
