Here’s how it works. Come on here every day, or week, or whatever. Say the best thing that happened to you this week, and the worst thing that happened. The idea is that some people have trouble remembering the positives in their lives, but other people have a hard time feeling comfortable enough to share their struggles. Doing both reminds us of the good times, while giving us permission to talk about the bad.
My high is that I accomplished a lot at work this week, and I feel proud of myself. I worked hard, and it paid off.
My low is that today is the anniversary of a friend’s death. Growing up in pediatric hospitals, I lost a lot of friends, but this one was the first, and it hurts still.
The high of this week was my dad messaging me on father’s day, which is today in Norway, and he told me he was happy to be my father.
The low is hard to pinpoint. I’ve felt like dying most of the week, and today I woke up with an especially low mood even though the dying thoughts have subsided. It feels like everything I do today is wrong.
My high was that I went to a IHOP restaurant with my dad this week and enjoyed a delicious lunch.
I have a constant fear of others drugging my food so this was a big win for me.
My low is that I keep procrastinating buzzing my hair and beard.
I’ll get to it today I’m sure.
My high was talking to my son Thursday. My low was getting yelled at by my dad.
Also good: my dad brought home some Diet root beer
Also good: I found two boxes of hot cocoa mix at my dad’s house
Also good: it’s cold outside but I have a relatively warm home
My high: I’ve been feeling stable, content and social many days this week. Today was the best day: an outing with my son, my ex and his daughter, with the children being very cuddly and joyful. I love both kids, my own and his. There is a big feeling of peace and gratefulness in my mind today.
My low: one week ago I had pms and I heard about some bad stuff happening in the family and felt horrible. The uncle who abused me as a kid is feeling deeply troubled. It sounds weird, but I’m upset and want him to be well. His feelings of guilt and depression seem to be partly connected to me and I want that to be in the past, forgiven, relieved.
Last week was peaceful and l’m grateful. I had barely any waking symptoms (just some overly active dreams). I went out to lunch with new friends and had dinner with my husbands friends and I remained focuses and social and was glad I went after (I’m a struggling introvert so beforehand I wasn’t so sure).
The low was , I found out my husband lied to me about something stupid and it brought back bad feelings about my trust issues with him again.
My high hasn’t technically happened yet, however, i have obtained premiere tickets to see Fantastic Beasts and where to find them 2. Super excited about seeing that. My down is trying to look after a particular resident in my aged care home who is incredibly rude, ungrateful and abusive.
HIgh. Turning a sad day into a good one. Will see all my family and friends at the funeral wed. I love catching up with an amazing extended family and friends to boot!
Wow, she really went downhill quite fast. I guess it can be seen as a sort of blessing - she didn’t have a long, drawn out period of suffering. I hope you and the rest of the family are okay.
High: I would say I’m having a good week overall. I’m able to comfortably watch a couple of new shows and I got invited by the owner of a pet sitting company to apply for a position with them
Low: I’m really behind in my school work and I have a couple of appointments to get a growth looked at and removed.
High：My son has booked a flight ticket to visit us in March of 2019. This is really important to our family. Excited.
Low: I washed my two light downjackets with my washing machine. Both of them are dry and clean now. But the duck downs are stuck together at the corners of every single slot. It is hard to get those downs to spread evenly. I may need two hours to get this done. Pure torture.
