What are you eating/doing today (Tuesday)

Good morning everyone.  Woke up multiple times last night with panic attacks and anxiety.  I did not do my cbt or go to the gym yesterday as planned and it caught up with me, too much going on at work and life, I played video games instead of doing cbt to distract myself, big mistake.  I told myself I would not let myself get sick but it looks like that is exactly what is happening. I had plans to do lots of fun stuff over the weekend but, despite my plans, I ended up sleeping most of the time.  On Friday I found out my iron levels are borderline low, so I am going to have to add more iron to my vitamin regime.  Maybe that is part of why I feel so tired lately too.  Today my focus will be on self-care stuff, my cbt, seeing my therapist and family doctor if they are available.  Feeling really sad this morning, like I have let myself and everyone else down. I did not have a great eating day yesterday either, I had a bunch of twizzlers. Going to try to be good to myself today and avoid video games, they just suck up my time. Sorry this is such a downer post but it is what it is.

Sorry you had such a bad night. HOpe you feel better after some self care. Low iron definitely will make you tired.

Thank you, I picked up some ferrous sulphate as they suggested and took one, I am sure it will take a while to feel like myself again.  I got a good deal, 200 tablets for 7 dollars at Costco.  I did not cbt this morning and it helped, I have a plan in place anyways.

Sending you a BIG virtual hug Zizzler! 

Aww thank you, here is one back

Sorry you're having such a hard time ziz, hope everything works out soon.

Thank you, I hope so too.  Guess all I can do is hope for the best and try to be good to myself.  I bought some herbs while at Costco but I do not have the energy to plant them, maybe sometime this week. 

Hey Zizz, so sorry you are feeling sad.  A selfie day is definitely in order, I prescribe a candlelight bubble bath, with a cold wine goblet of your fav iced protein drink, soothing music and some kind of pedicure manicure after.  If all that fails, go and kick someone in the shin who has been mean to you lately and tell them to smarten up.

  Terrific ideas cc, especially the shin kicking part, it made me laugh lol.  Oh there are a few shins I would kick if I could, that's for sure.  Bubble bath with mani/pedi sounds perfect...

Good morning Barb. Sounds like  great day. Work today then home. I was given a new bike which I really do not like. It can not be returned unfortunately. But it has me not wanting to bike. So I was lazy and took transit. I will make sure I at least go for a walk tonight. Not a lot of exercise on the weekend except for some walking and a lot of gardening. Tomorrow swimming for sure.
