A full day: made my girl so happy

Woke up feeling quite normal yesterday, took my meds and managed doing a few things around the house.

Hoovered, did laundry and went for a nice breakfast at the park with my daughter and dog. We went to get groceries for lunch after that, and then sat home in the comfort of the ac.

I also managed making us a simple lunch – something we hadn’t been able to do in a very long time due to my anxiety.

In the afternoon, I managed driving her to her therapist, waited for her to finish her session and then took her shopping. After shopping, we went to our favorite library, the Little Reader, had a slice of yummy cake and juice and got her a ne book to read.

All in all, I was so proud of my little achievements and the smiles on her face filled my heart. Ended up taking Xanax in the late afternoon – my doc said to take it regularly for now. It made me a little sleepy and so I napped on our couch for 30 minutes.

Didn’t run away to my parents’, didn’t let anxiety stop me from doing anything I had planned with her.

It’s been almost a week since I’m on 60mg of duloxetine. Quetiapine works wonders – I sleep peacefully and wake up feeling okay.

Patience.

Love.

Faith.

Need to repeat these mantras in my head and to work more on acceptance.

Seeing my therapist at 11 and then off to guitar class at 12. I have a client appointment at 3.30. Full day I’d say but for the moment, I’ll go take a small nap as my morning Xanax is kicking in.
