Hello to all of my wonderful friends. I am going to cautiously say that I think that my mood is lifting a bit. Shhhh....don't want to jinx it.
Today I did get off my butt and got outside for a while. I went for a walk with my hubby and the dogs. It is still hot here but the humidity has gone down a bit and there was a nice breeze which helped. I made a concerted effort not to spend so much time online today, but haven't really found anything to replace it with.
Danya, you mentioned depression in your comment on my je yesterday. I do have diagnosed major clinical depression and have been on meds about two and a half years. That's why I am not suicidal! LOL Seriously though, if things don't lighten up a bit soon, I may go see my doc and have my dosage upped. We dropped my dosage a notch about nine months ago and with all that is going on now, I may just have to go back up again for a while.
Thank you to all of my friends for taking the time to comment on my je's. It really does feel great to get feedback from ya'll. I hope to stop bumming everyone out soon!
Love to all
Julie

My Dr just upped my dose, and I am thinking it is now where it should have been all along....I feel good, I feel more 'controlled', I am sleeping all night without waking up (which is a major hurdle, and a much welcome relief).
I am so happy that you and hubby went for a walk, sometimes just being outside, with a little sunshine on the face, makes all the difference in the world.
Sometimes I am on here many times thru out the day, and sometimes I have to make time to be on here...We do what we have to do early on in recovery, and if it means hanging out here, or some other site, journaling, chatting, reading, then by all means do what you feel you should be doing...just because you aren't gambling, doesn't mean life goes straight away to 'normal'...we have to work at it, every day, and each day you will find a little piece of 'normalcy' creeping back in...at first, I almost didn't recognize 'normalcy', it took a while for it to sink in that it was okay, and not a wolf in sheeps clothing waiting for me to fail and fall.....Just keep doing this one day at a time, each day there will be something new, you will see your emotions, your thoughts, your senses coming back to life......
we are all in this together, thats how we make it....together, one day at a time..
love and hugs

You are not bumming people out. You are dealing with life after gambling, and that is a good thing. It is a struggle, but it is good. It will take time before you feel "normal" whatever that means. I haven't found normal yet in my life, but I never knew it before gambling, so it's all good. I enjoy life much more now. And that is after a matter of weeks. I can't wait to see how I feel after several years. It is good that you are taking care of yourself. You need fresh air, sunshine. The heat, I know all about heat these days. I would almost sell my soul for an air conditioner right now. lol. Try to stay cool and enjoy that family of yours. Before you know it they will be on their own, and you will miss the overcrowded messes. Have a great day tomorrow :)

Is there a reason to wait? Can you call your Dr. about going back to your previous dose?
Depression isn't something to fool around with (((Julie)))
