ONE productive thing you did today

[[Es...]]

 

Estee, if I recall right you wrote some time ago that it is difficult for you to eat outside. Pizzeria!! You did it! 👍👍👍 also lot of other stuff, seems that that you have had busy day(s)! 🤗🤗🤗

 

Me: went to osteophatic treatment. It was good and my muscles felt less tense after the treatment.

 

Thank you Thomas. Actually eating out with husband calms me down. Kudos on the osteopathic treatment :thumbsup: The last time I went to a chiropractor was 2015, I think. I have a severe cervical degenerative disease discovered in 2014. Started to rely exclusively on Valium to remedy the pain and muscle stiffness. It certainly helps it a lot, but makes me so depressed at the same time. I miss going to a chiropractor. It’s sth like benzos cause this dissociation between body and mind. The DP/DR experience. The more I taper V. the more evident it becomes. And it’s terrifying. When I went back on benzos in 2014 and it started, I didn’t know what was going on. I was scared and wanted to escape it, using both V. and Ambien. Now I know it’s caused by Valium...

Great stuff!! 👍👍👍. I couldn't cook toninght so I ordered some food on-line to be delivered.

 

Estee, sorry about misundersanding pizza stuff. Great that you can calm when having a meal utside with your husband!

No misunderstanding, Thomas. We started going to that pizzeria and other places to eat some time ago. It’s fun. I feel secure when going out with him. Not on my own. I feel secure on my own at home only.

Great Ginger! 👍👍👍.  I haven't bought anything to home at least for an year. It is nice to get new things home. T.

That’s impressive, Ginger Inspirational. I don’t have place for furniture anymore... Could only replace old items with new ones. But these are antiques, so I’d rather keep them.

Thanks Estee, I like antiques too, and I have some.  But I needed a new desk and a desk chair, a dresser, plus a couple of lamps -- I really need some light on these long winter evenings.  I'm enjoying them this weekend.

 

Today, I'm watching the winter olympics.  I don't know if that qualifies as 'productive', but if it gives one some joy, then maybe, as it produces a better mental balance.

R  That's a big thing I know how you feel it takes me a LOT of and pushing myself courage to do that and I can't do it everyday I was fanatical about it and shower/bathing before withdrawal but now its as and when. For over 2 year's I was unable to brush my hair  or even  wash, and even now I can't do it more than every couple of weeks if I'm lucky.

Thanks, Thomas! It was actually nice getting out of the neighborhood and having a ride into the countryside yesterday.  The shopping center got overwhelming after awhile but I did it!  Today I'm just doing chores around the house and seeing my son off at the train station. Sadly, he's heading back to Tokyo after visiting for a few days. Hope you enjoyed your lunch yesterday!

Watching winter olympics is motivating. Sportsmen are strong people. Lots of self-discipline. Just like soldiers. I’ve got two light therapy lamps for Fall and Winter. Finnish brand - Innosol. Very good. Better to buy a smaller one. It’s easier to hide it and the price is reasonable. Not a very aesthetic product. Especially with antiques. I’ve also got lots of regular lamps. Light is so important.

 

Me: some online work, dishes, laundry, decluttering project 10%.

Thanks Estee and Congratulations to you about ct/jump Valium! 👍👍👍

Thank you, Thomas. Too early to congratulate. But won’t go back to regular use for sure. Should have gotten rid of it back in Spring 2016. Right after Ambien. If only I knew then how I would feel without it...
