As I Live and Breathe
As I Live and Breathe
I have had several inquiries about my well-being over the past several days due to the fact that I haven’t been posting very much on OH lately, so here goes: I am fine, my weight is stable, I have been walking 15+ miles and biking 50+ miles per week, and I have been substantially compliant with the WLS supplemen****er and protein intake rules. However, I did have some challenges with mood swings and anxiety that were, for the most part, unrelated to events in my life. An old habit I am trying to break is that of withdrawing from others when I feel down or anxious. I did withdraw for awhile this time, but eventually I sought out support at home, from friends, and from my support group as well as what I got from going to my monthly counseling appointment. It all helped. As a result, my swirling emotions seem to have settled down for the time-being, my mind is more at ease, and I feel like writing again.
These past few weeks have served as a reminder to me of the importance of seeking out support when I need it. Furthermore, I was humbled by the generosity of others as I received that support.

I am so glad you are doing much better. I miss your posts even though I do not reply very often! Since I am further away from the support groups, I use this site as a big part of my support. Your posts along with the many other posts are what encourages me! I am very fortunate to not have had any problems along the way. This week I may have suffered my first mood swing and it was not pretty! Thank god my husband is a very understanding person because I was out of my normal nature and just angry with the world. The next day I was fine! Geesh! Hope I don't see that again for a long time! Have a good day and please keep posting. Donna
