Hi @bipolarbunny @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Bunniekins @eth @Former-Member @Meowmy @Meggles @StuF and others reading or posting in this thread.

It's nice to have some good news to share with my mental health today.

After a year of needing to try various different anti-depressants and consequently suffering a long period of chemical instability and times of acute suffering, I am feeling hopeful the latest med may work for me for a longer period of time. So far, so good, and fingers crossed for a steadier future with the psych meds.

Also, it's been a week without severe headaches. Upper body pain from fibromyalgia at an easily managable level this week.

In further good news this week, a support worker and I visited a national park about 45 minutes away on Monday to go to a magnificent lookout at the top of a mountain. Fantastic. Tomorrow a proper bushwalk in an adjacent national park. This walk will be the most ambitious I have done for a decade or two.

Feeling very positive today. Really, no complaints! A bit rare for me!!!

Are you still here @Mazarita ? So nice to read your post and happen to see it so soon after you wrote it, for a change!

@Mazarita That is such wonderful news my friend, I am so happy for you. And the walk sounds amazing! Enjoy! 🙂 xx

ohhh such wonderful news my awesome scotirish sister @Mazarita

Hi @Mazarita @Shaz51 @eth @MDT @Former-Member @Bunniekins @StuF @HenryX @Meowmy @Dimity @frog and anyone else passing through..

Woke up super early this morning, so been on the forums and then had to take my mum to get her stitches out. Going to do a short bike ride later for my headspace and then do an hour's practice on guitar. This is my third day back playing and I'm really enjoying it. I've had to start from lesson one again cause I've lost all the dexterity for fretting notes and chords and my poor finger tips are in the wars till I build my callouses up again. But it's just nice to be excited and motivated about playing again. My therapist is big into guitar as well, so our goal is to do a jam session in therapy one day to help build my confidence. I have a feeling homework assignments are going to be writing poems and learning songs. He's already telling me I can write lyrics, so we know where this is heading, lol.

How is everyone else travelling today?

So So SO happy for our Maz @Mazarita your strength and resilience is so inspiring my friend, you deserve so many more great days like today! xx

Hugs to all, I'm off to hop on the bike to warm up. xx

I'm happy for you @Mazarita and @bipolarbunny . Musicmaking and nature walks! And rising out of pain and depression. Go you good things.
