Dare i say i feel stable? It’s a little intimidating to put it into a written thought. I know i should be formulating habits now to sustain me when I’m not so stable. It’s a work in progress.
Stable to me is not wanting to die… feeling joy again… and seeing positive in things. Oh and not ruminating. I still have a late night eating problem and a shopping issue so now is the time to learn to set boundaries for myself.
The eating issue i am not sure how to dig deep and find the trigger. I know therapy could help but dang it i just can’t connect.
I’ve decided i am going to have to learn self boundaries for saying no to myself. Because I’m buying things i don’t need.
I ultimately will plug on. One day at a time. Change doesn’t come in a day.
Stability to me is similar. It is when I am at an even keel. Not mad, sad, or hyped up beyond belief. I don’t think I have ever set boundaries for myself in terms of my mental illness. I have boundaries like don’t steal, don’t fight, that is all I can think of. I don’t think I know how to set boundaries for myself or what I would need a boundary for? Can you share things that you feel you need to set boundaries for so I can get a better idea?
I was thinking of it in terms of a relationship. We have to set boundaries on what we will tolerate and how we will be treated. So i want to be treated, to myself, as someone who won’t overspend. To make the relationship less toxic… does that make sense? I don’t know lol
Actually change does come in one day. The rest of the days are the same after the change. It’s technically only change once. Easy, right? 🙂
Hmmm i guess i meant more to solidify it. Like make it habit
If you haven’t read the book “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhig, you should check it out.
Stability is good, normal is good, being true to yourself is good. Making it through another day is best. Love and Hugs Angela 💞
Read the book “boundaries.” Every day is different for my mental health. Every day. When you find something that works, and makes your day better, rinse and repeat.
Change happens slowly and in small increments. The commitment to even one little change in a day is a good step in the right direction.
