General things once more

I'm currently:
..Achy from exercising. I won't be able to do my usual routines for a week or two after surgery on Friday, so I'm using this week to get loads in.
..Tired from oversleeping. Depression's hit me like a punch to the head and I often find myself either heading for the scissors or the bed, so I opt for the bed.
..Angry at someone for purposely bullying me because they can. Don't you hate passive-aggressivists? I suppose we're all guilty of it from time to time, but this one particular person just keeps on winding me up and making me feel bad about myself. Most of all, making me feel weak. And I HATE feeling weak, as I feel that way so often without outside influence anyway. Of course, I never stick up for myself.
..Very unsure. But that's pretty much the usual with me.

So, come Papa's birthday, it's off to hospital I go. Mik phoned up to confirm my surgery date and spoke to a helpful nurse who assured him it would be most likely that he'll be able to accompany and wait with me in our own little area that they have a few of for patients who have carers. Hopefully that will be the case. Hearing it's 99% probable has eased quite a bit of my anxiety.
The day before, I'm eating extra lol I'ma eat really well, exercise really well and take a bedtime sedative with either hot cocoa or warm milk and honey, cause I'm up at 5:30am on surgery day down

When I was amid my last breakdown and found that lump in my breast, I had been entirely housebound for a year or so, and I was so very brave to go to two biopsies. As my reward I got to have a good lunch and also a little cat toy that made me smile. This time, there'll be nutritional milkshakes for a couple of days and my reward may just be a pair of these:

Which I found on a MEGA sale recently and would be very fortunate to get before they disappear. It's not often I love a product so much I can't stop returning to its' webpage, so perhaps, along with having been brave, that'll override the guilt of buying them? No, I will still feel bad, I always do rolleyes but we'll see.

I'm a bit... Odd with people at the minute. I've kinda lost what little touch I had for interaction. My conversation with Papa this evening was more awkward than usual. It's taking me a lot longer to find words to convey what I actually mean and I'm finding it very difficult to sort of... well, talk. Blogs are handy, because you can kinda talk to everyone at once without needing to be appropriate. You know? It's almost like talking to myself, but with the added thing that other people will tell you if you're talking nonsense and perhaps even give some helpful input or even just make you laugh for a moment.

Well, I'm going now, I've gone and given myself a slight panic attack over something inconsequential and I can't concentrate anymore. SOrry if I'm being terse or anything lately btw.

News and Pictures and Shit (not literal faecal matter, mind)Watch these.

First, you have nothing to apologize for from what I've seen. smile

I'm thrilled to know that your anxiety has been lifted a bit regarding the whole surgery scenario! yes I wish you the best - as always, and cannot wait to see a picture of you wearing your new boots. I just know you'll get 'em. You have to, darn it! heart ...and no feeling guilty! *waggles finger*

P.S.
Happy eating on the day before surgery! headbang

This giving yourself rewards, is that something that works for you? Never really worked for me. I tell myself, after this appointment (being whatever I find difficult) I'm gonna have myself a nice cup of hot chocolate, and it doesn't work because eventually I'll have it either way, whether I make the appointment or not. I have no stamina when it comes to making deals with myself, it simply doesn't work that way.

I reward myself for existing. whistle .
Nice boots you've chosen btw. Best of wishes for your trip to the hospital. up .
(depression sucks. Just try to remember that it always passes though.)

Good luck with the surgery.

Looks like a n ice reward. Maybe to add one chocolate box to that and it would be perfect yes

i got nothing but best of luck for you.. up sometimes I feel completely out of touch with you probably because the inabillity to relate to your struggles but then sometimes I understand but mere words just don't bring everything across..
Ok I'll shutup now..

Karen - thanks. Knowing I'm not alienating people I care for helps. And thanks again - I know I'll handle whatever happens. Been through much worse! Not sure if I can afford the boots just now. Got quite a bit to pay for this month plus quite a lot of extra financial obligations, never mind the fact I owe Mum money still. We'll see...
And thanks once more. I have my favourite things planned for food this week.

Martin - well, I haven't done it very often but last time I just saw it on the way home and felt I had earned a little fun thing. This time I purposefully chose something with a very limited time frame, something I find it hard to choose one I like. For it to work it has to be something you wouldn't just normally have, and if I do get them and then not do my part in earning them, I shall send them back. Feeling unworthy and having a guilt complex is useful in these matters, I guess.

Aadil - well, we all need pick me ups. Glad you like the shoes, and thank you, I'm sure it'll be okay. And I know. Depression is very preferable to many other options, too.

Thank you, Gavin.

I think so too, Darko. The chocolate will be a bit useless for me though, but I do have a couple of little pots of chocolate custard ready for post-surgery!

Clint, we're a very similar in very different ways. That's the only way I can think to put it and I'm quite confident you know just what I mean, cause I get what you mean. And thank you x

I send you all the positive vibes I've got that everything will go as planned on Friday and that Mik gets to be as close by as you hope for.
The boots are super cool and looks like the perfect reward to me. love
