In reply to wow, i need to post a 10..., posted by justyourlaugh on October 6, 2003, at 14:45:04
i just couldn't manage it the other day when you guys were trying to be all heroically positive, but i'm ready now.
i am thankful for:
1. the hope (and fear) that comes when you begin taking a new med. (topamax)
2. all of the funny, kind, supportive, brave, and resilient people here on this site.
3. all of the wonderful memories of my grandmother, whose birth and death anniversaries are both next week.
4. not crying (i.e. "losing it") once today...or yesterday! not even when my husband snapped at me. very proud of that one indeed.
5. going to "play" in the pool at the gym today and i plan to go tomorrow.
6. my favorite holiday is coming up soon!
7. trying to minimize the my negative self talk and trying to remember the things i liked about myself before i got sick.
8. i have lost nearly all desire and tolerance for alcohol since starting seroquel. hooray!
9. running out of steam, here...um, i got to nine easily. does that one count?
10. for being able to focus on the things that i *am* able to do physically instead of the things that i can't do.
