Casey's Diary, Part Deux!

Hi Casey :)
I'm sorry about the problems you're having. Since I've never been depressed myself or knew anyone who was, I'm not exactly sure what to say to you and I don't want to say something stupid or inappropriate that might offend you. So I just tell you that I'm really sorry and that I hope you'll feel better soon. I know this must be a hard time for you. I'm sending you lots of good vibes and hugs all across the ocean.

Thank you India! I appreciate the kind words.

I love Diet Coke as well...it's bizarre not getting to drink it anymore. I still have Diet Sprite some, which I love.

Yesterday I actually exercised! I did this really STEEP stairclimbing machine for 20 minutes and ran a mile. I was sweating like crazy! I also ate pretty healthily. Today not so much...I ate two large cookies for lunch but I'm planning on a healthy dinner instead of continuing the sugary stuff.

Today has been tough....argument with the BF last night, three tests to study for, blah blah. I don't handle emotional situations very well at all anymore. I hope that improves soon. The counseling and medication are helping but I still feel like I'm in a funk.
 
I think sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. It was like that last time I was in therapy anyway. Good luck on the test, with the BF & hopefully things will be looking up soon. I know how hard it is, but try to eat healthy. The sugar buzz just leads to the crash, which doesn't help our moods in the least bit! :) Hang in there.
There are only 24 hours in a day & if we can just get through this one, we are that much closer to tomorrow.
 
Thanks to everyone for all the support. Things are slowly getting better. Right now school and work is about all I can handle. Nutrition isn't stellar; I've had my good days and bad days. Thank you again for checking in on me and the kind words. I haven't gotten to exercise since Monday but I'm hoping to work out some this weekend. We shall see.
 
I started Cymbalta today. So I know what you mean about the good days & the ones you just want to make it through...

Hope you are celebrating yourself tonight... Happy Valentines Day!
 
Hey Casey,

I'm hoping to get more exercise in this weekend too... I took today off and i shouldn't have. My diet hasn't been too great, either....

Hang in there,
Sam:)
 
Thanks everyone! I had a really nice Valentine's Day and I hope everyone else did too. I'm doing okay. I've been going to counseling every week and continuing the medication. I'm usually too tired to do much exercise in the evenings, but I'm hoping that will change soon.
 
Ug... please tell me the energy levels improved for you in the second week. I am ready to kick Cymbalta to the curb. I'm trusting that it will work soon, but I am sick of being so danged tired.

Feels good to read that you went through something similar. Hate that you went through it, but it gives me hope to see you are exercising. I barely was awake yesterday. I pushed myself to get to work today, but I am missing my bed.
 
Moon--

Energy does get better but I'm still having trouble. I'm napping way too much. I just get so exhausted after school and work all day. I think Cymbalta has helped me quite a bit. I hope that it does great for you. :)
 
Thanks Sam!

Things are currently on the upswing...the past few days have been great! I am having to retrain myself...I am learning how to think differently and not push myself so hard. I ate healthily and exercised yesterday. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and ran a mile. I'm very sore and tired today but very proud! Thank you all for checking up on me! Hope to start posting more soon.

With Love,
 
Glad to hear things are better. I feel like I am getting back to myself again. Still having some down fatigued days, but I have had a couple of good ones too! Yesterday I worked out so that's an improvement.

Hope today is going great for you.
 
I ran a mile and a half today and Monday! so proud of myself. Doesn't seem like much but it's all I can do right now. My chest was killing me on Monday but it felt great today. I'm on my way back!!!!
 
Thanks everyone!!!!

The weather here is absolutely excellent...I'm hoping to go for a run this afternoon because I think it might rain tomorrow. Thanks for all the encouragement! Yesterday I ate a ton of Cadbury Mini-Eggs....so bad for you but so delicious. I'll do better today.

I'm really enjoying my little runs...it feels like I'm barely out there anytime because I'm used to going 5-12 miles at a time. BUT I know my body and mind are benefitting from it. I'm being a little too lenient in my food choices and allowing myself a lot of sweets. It's a hard habit to break but I will get there. Hope everyone is doing great...it's great to be back on the WLF again!
 
So so so glad your officially back. Don't be too hard on yourself about the old runs that you used to do. You'll be back up to par in no time :)

I even started doing that C25K program they have and joined a club for it too. I'm only in Week 3 right now. I can already run a 5K but i wanted to do this to increase my speed and stamina, and plus since the program requires that you run at least 3 times per week it is helping me get the running in on a more consistent basis.

Happy to hear from you,
Sam:)
 
Still running my 1.5 mile runs. I did one yesterday. Weather was perfect! I'm also trying to buy cereal and other snacks that are healthier than candy and ice cream. The scale and measuring tape are still gone (boyfriend has them hostage somewhere) and I'm glad. My clothes are still fitting well, so I don't think I need to be concerned about weight loss right now. I'm just trying to maintain my current size and stay healthy.
