Hello...Sad Today

[Fig]

Good Morning.   It's 9:30am here in New York...I've been up since 1am (I don't sleep well most nights).

  Belated wishes for a Happy New Year.

  Not much going on here. I've been trying to keep positive, keep my spirits up. Some days are better than others...today isn't one of them.  It's been bitterly cold here, but I don't mind that...I snuggle down with my quilts and read, watch TV and play with my birds.  I just feel melancholy and lost.

  I see my therapist tomorrow, which is good. She's very helpful, and I do feel better after a good talk with her.  My little parrot, Skye, cheers me. He sits on my lap and says "I loe you".

  I struggle with my eating disorder...obsessed with calories and my weight, I restrict like mad and eat as little as I can, making do most of the day on black coffee and cigarettes.  What I DO eat is healthy, tho'...lots of vegetables (steamed) grains, fruit. (Yes, I'm a vegetarian).

 Just don't know how to muddle through.....

that's "I love you", not loe

Sorry I missed your post. 

It's been cold here as well and the wind has been terrible.  How was your visit to the therapist?

Thanks, Pip.  I didn't get to my appointment that day as it was snowing very hard and I was afraid to drive in that weather.  I'm seeing her tomorrow, and will let you know how it goes.

Hi...my meeting with Michelle (therapist) went well.  She's very good and always steers me right.

Feeling better today, just still "drifty", tired and melancholy.
