Forced a good day!!

[[Ca...]]

Hi all,

I have been struggeling for a couple of years, just not being able to start to do anything, -no matter how much i want to get it done.. yes, i havent been so well or healthy, but it goes way beyond that...

A couple of weeks ago there were some very positive posts that basicly said -just set a positive mind to doing something productive, hopefully fun (like snow boarding, holliday, etc.)

 

So for 2 weekends now, i have taken the kids to a great waterfall swimming spot, -it has 3 rope swings and is safe to jump off the top, -kinda insane or more, extreme!!!

This week i managed climbing the rocks much better, i have a bad foot drop (no nerves feeling or muscles/ movement to left foot), am unfit and overweight, which adds to the challenge... even went on rope swing again, no back flips like dozens of kids were doing though... lol

 

It was so hard to get started, i just wanted another day in bed, but once i got going, an hours drive and a bit of a walk in to the falls, i was feeling better and better...

 

Last week was at the end of a cut n hold... -this week was mid cut of a nasti 25% reduction (way too much) and while i could most definatly feel the w/s, i could feel my body fighting both physically and mentally.. maybe its my body starting to produce endorphins again, post opiates? Regardless, pushing myself when i thought it impossible, is having a very positive effect on this taper, and my kids and our lives...

I know it will be hard, possibly harder than anything i went through with the years in hospital post accident... but i now have a path out of this, thus i have hope again...!!!

 

So please post your positive thoughts and experiences too... they are a great support, encourage and inspire...

A special thanks to those that set me on this course...

 

What great adventure will YOU acheive???

-The word "CANT" is Sooo banned from this thread, and your personal thoughts while thinking on it!!!

 

Best wishes!!!

Thanks miss Cruel lol

It was interesting, the moment i got home i could feel that heavy depressive pull coming for me... it nearly had substance, it was that real... -now i can see the enemy...  am sure i have a ways to go yet, but the right direction helps...! -ie. i cleaned a fish tank insted of laying down. (And got a good bite from a big fish on my arm) grrr.

Trust all is well with yourself, be well...

 

Begood, thanks also, -together we stand, devided we fall... bb has a very liberating vibe, that is the sum of all members...

 

Be good... lol

I have to laugh also with my "Be good", when I joined I could not think of a name, so I remembered when I was little I was always telling my Mother I would "be good" my friends have shortened it to BG.. I hope fish do not carry rabies..... .

Cantfly,

 

Thats awesome.  Getting out of myself is the only way when I am feeling off. 

 

I do give myself a break though.  I drove the kids for 8 hrs. in the fall for 3 days skiing and found it too much anxiety.  So, a little less. 

 

Cheers.

That's great news cantfly.

BG, -(if i may)..

Why did u have tr keep reasuring your mum u would be good, i wonder... lol

No rabies (we have enough other nasty stuff here, -thats y we call it "wild life"), but i used puroxide to clean the bite cos of the tank water... -it was a 60cm sarotoga, one of the worlds most ancient fish...

 

Cheers...

I seemed to get into everything, and just needed a lot of extra "Begood" to calm this    child.lol .

Watch that bite.

Hey Cant!

 

Great thread!  I'm going to do it all!  Places to go, things to see and adventures and more adventures!  I'm going to learn to scuba dive, see Alaska, cruise to Cuba, swim in the ocean(s), dance at my son's wedding (!!!) and tons more!

Congratulations!  You just climbed a really big mountain! You can be so proud of yourself! Btw, I didn't know dish could bite haha

Thanks everyone..

 

Jorges, i cant quite imagine a few days in the snow, in fact i cant imagine snow, its been so hot here...

I can understand the "bit too much" though... I am reluctant to move, feel like i have been put on a rack and over stretched... but i know i will be better for it in a few days...

I think thats how we do it... -forget, or put aside the limits for a moment or two...

 

I did notice my sx up for a bit when i woke after an arvo sleep, like a round of sepsis shock type feeling, that i got at around 5V... but maybe it was a mind trick of the V, as it went as soon as i got up...

All in all, feeling rather good for day 10 after a large cut, sx wise...

 

Lynn,

I note similar intentions... Alaska, South America... and u must come to Queensland to dive the Great Barrier Reef... it will blow your mind!!! I spent years diving it, as we were in the charter industry...

The more we fill our thoughts with these things, the closer they get...

Thanks for sharing too... if u can dream it, u can do it... (maybe some of these intense sx dreams would b a stretch) lol...

Thanks Wen,

Not so sure i have quite climbed it, but looking back, the top is way closer than the bottom. The clouds have lifted, and i can see the path...

Best wishes...

we are all great mountain climbers, and we all carry spare rope for those in need...

Wen,

U have to wash my "dishes" to believe... have a dish washer but a teenager that throws knives into a sink full of dirty dishes still... lol...

U made me re read for the Dish/Fish typo, but i couldnt find it...!!!

So im blaming you... lol...

Yes the Saratoga have teeth, and will use, very territorial, when they get over half a metre, -treat with respect...

my sons friend was feeding it a grasshopper, and it stripped his finger down to bone, like a "de-glove" injury... not nice... -now they use plastic tongs...!
