So I have started working out, because I heard that lack of exercise can exacerbate feelings of depression. Nothing heavy, just a few rounds of push-ups and press-ups every day, mostly until I am too out of puff to do any more. As time goes on I think I will try and increase the amount I do so that each time it keeps me feeling challenged and makes me work for it.
Feeling pretty positive about this! I'm hoping that it will make me feel better and get me in better shape which would be nice. Also I think that imposing some sort of new daily discipline will be good for me. Anyway, that's me lately, how is everyone else feeling?
I know I definitely feel more motivated and less lethargic than I did a year ago before I started getting back into shape. So yeah, for most people it can really help.
Well I hope so! I'll keep you guys posted one what happens, especially since that will motivate me to stick with it.
Muse, I highly doubt it is the same thing, but my Dad has been suffering pretty much the same thing for a while now. He went to the Doc's, and they proscribed him Naproxen. So yeah, might be something completely different, but that just came to mind.
I've been to the doc's a few times now, they sort of think of me as being overly paranoid by this point, and so far have agreed that it is probably psychosomatic. So I just sort of put up with it whenever it happens.

I really need to start doing something like this in general.
It doesn't matter if you're overweight, ok, or skinny as a reed. Doing exercise instead of being lazy can increase your energy level quite a bit, it's really amazing what it can do. I give thumbs up to ya for doing it, and really need to remind myself that I need to as well.
My sister was born with a serious mental disability. She struggles with a lot of typical tasks, but has a good grasp on kids games and especially puzzles. Like the 100 piece Disney ones, etc.
Over Christmas break my mom had the idea to look for kids games on the iPad. She found one with a little monkey that asks you to put together small puzzles, match colors, or play a small game of memory matching. She set it down in front of my sister to help her get started. Before long, my sister was playing the game by herself and having fun.
Yesterday was her 25th birthday. My parents took my dad's old iPad, put a bunch of kids games on it, and made it her birthday present. They got a really nice picture of her for the lock screen too.
She's really happy with it, and I'm really happy that it was possible. Moments like this are truly special.
@Noggin I read this just now and it's made my day. Thanks mate!

The neck pain is most probably an unrelated thing, I popped an advil and remembered I had brought peppermint oil with me (it works like icy-hot without the hot, great for pains like that).
Oh, you know, not much. I'm doing okay. Turns out that when you exercise on one day, the next day you hurt and the exercise is harder and then the next day you hurt more and so on. I must be getting old.
Well, depending on the exercise and the intensity you often want a rest day in between to recover. So it doesn't really have anything to do with age if you're just not allowing sufficient recovery time.
So i talked to this gal on OkC /texting for a week or so, and Monday, she texts and is like.. hey wanna hang out later? She had sorta-plans with her mom for dinner, but I'm off work at 3, so we meet up at 3:30ish.
So, I look up the address of a coffee shop in the middle of where we both are, near where I went to college. Come to find out, she not only goes to college where I did, she knows of and loves the place I picked. Nice.
Our afternoon mini-date turned into hanging out there until like 8, going to a Mexican place for a few more hours, then sitting in the car and talking/making out like whoa until like 2am.
I adore the shit out of this girl, we connected in the most unexpected and fantastic way.
She's driving out this way (we live about an hour apart on opposite sides of the StL... for now) to spend time with me after work, until I get my son at 6.

I'm figuring a day of rest in between days of exercise is a good choice, give me time to recover so I can do some properly on the day after. The exercise I am doing is not really intensive at all (ten push-ups, then ten sit-ups, then repeat that and so some lunges), it's just that I am pretty unfit (I'm not fat by any stretch, just not very fit). I was joking about the age thing, I'm only 22!

The third one I like just because they are all, that's whistler's daughter she is cool because she listens to sweet playlists on her technologically advanced iPod while she kills vampires. She is cool.

Finally got a doctor's appointment after over a month of trying and went today. He put me on Celexa for my anxiety/depression. Low dosage right now (10mg) but hopefully I won't feel like a piece of shit all the time?

Good news! If it's like other SSRIs, it may take a week or two before you notice the effects.

Yeah that's what he was telling me. He said I'll probably have an upset stomach that'll go away after the first week
I just hope it "kicks in" before my dentist appointment on the 23rd
So I have been feeling pretty good these last few days.
Its 100% just a mood swing because I feel good for no reason so I do have to be careful and I have been acting ridiculous but I've also been getting shit done! Like I'm just finishing my homework for the entire week. I booked a appointment with a counsellor for next monday, I kind of cleaned up my mess from last semester and I feel like I can do it this time!
Just have to start slowly with exercising but I did quit smoking so baby steps.
The lack of caffeine in my life means I'm sleeping much better (when I remember to go to bed), but my attention span is still crap and afternoons are still really sleepy.
I would feel much better if I went to the gym, so there's that for a goal this week

Yesterday I didn't feel like getting up with my alarm so I slept an extra 2 hours and I felt like shit when I woke up then I was super tired early in the evening, too

You?
One of my baby goats got over it's colic so I don't have to kill it, which was also nice.
A friend has set me up on a date with a nice girl he knows so that is also making me happy

I am eating crackers and drinking hot water.
I'm not supposed to be eating crackers until Saturday but I changed up my diet rules a bit to accomodate trivia beers.
Anyway my dog wants my crackers but they are all mine.
That's making me p. happy with myself.

It is a good movie.

It was so fun

I unironically love Blade 2 and I don't care who knows it. I still listen to that soundtrack sometimes.

Once it becomes a little less stop and go, I hope it'll even out some.
