My day so far

ArizonaSenior Contributor04 Aug 2021, 9:39 am AEST

My day so far

I slept well but I have woken up in a state of very bad depression and anxiety. I think I feel like this because yesterday I started writing my story in the Our Stories section and it has brought up traumatic memories.

I have made myself a cup of tea and I will be kind and gentle with myself today.

I'm excited about picking up my bike tomorrow (as much as I can be, as a person who has severe depression). I have also bought a kickstand, water bottle holder and some lights. I think I will also buy a computer thing that tells you how many kilometres you've done. I can't remember what they're called.

I feel very tired. I think I will go back to sleep. I will add more later.

Hi @Arizona,

Sorry it's another bad day for you but whooo hooo! Splashing out on a bike and accessories is exciting! I hope you enjoy your first ride. I have a Vespa. I gave up my bike because the hills are too steep around here. I can't drive a car but I do have a motorbike licence. Lockdown has prevented me from riding but come spring I will be on my Vespa again.

Hope you can get some enjoyment tomorrow.

Hi @MIFANTCARER and @Lost9 , thanks for your replies. I'm feeling a bit better now.

@Lost9 , that is so cool that you have a Vespa. I have thought of buying myself a motorbike. Yes, it will be so much fun riding my bike and it will make my depression and anxiety go away. I hope you have fun riding your Vespa up and down the hills. I love riding my bike downhill.

Re: My day so far

take care today @Arizona keep taking those positive steps bying a new bike to ride sounds like a great idea as excercise or just getting out of house even if your not feeling motivated would be something good to take care of yourself

Re: My day so far

Thank you @Lost9

I didn't pick up my bike today. I felt too unwell. It will be a struggle just doing my shopping today, so I'm afraid it's not going to be a very fun birthday. But I will do my best to take care of myself and I will celebrate when I'm better.
