Goal update... left the house 
Not only did I leave the house but had an amazing walk around the park! I realised after about 20 mins I was looking at the floor as I was walking, so I lifted my head and saw how pretty it was. I felt my mood lifting as I felt like I started to breath for the fist time in ages. I took some awesome pics on my phone and realised how much I missed photography.
I even brought a homeless person a coffee. Someone I probably wouldn't have even seen yesterday.
Goal for tomorrow..... feel like I do today

Reading this thread makes me realize I'm a very bad bad goal setter hahaha Must be why it's relatively easy for me to reach them, huh? I don't want to go and disappoint myself all the time, yanno. My list usually looks more like "shower... get out of pajamas... make it to work..." You guys are so freaking motivated! I seriously hope you don't get down on yourselves when you can't/don't "exercise "every day". I mean, damn, for how long? Every day for a week? 2 weeks? A month? That's a long time not to miss a day. You guys are rock stars. I'm just a rock!
- avoided all together eg denial until today
So thought should update...so for this coming week
1. Continue to take meds- don't appear to be having any side effects...
2. Exercise every day- try to go swimming before work...which will mean not getting in early but probably just on time
3. Continue to drink water every day- helps keep the headaches away due to meds
4. Prepare for and somehow be pro-active in the high pressured work meetings, complete assignments past due and meet with boss to have realistic task list for week (may be handed a PIP so have to think about that as well)
5. Make it to Friday when have therapist appointment
6. When at home in the evenings... live in the moment with my husband...
7. Read and really internalize a positive affirmation every day

- Driving refresher lessons - get confident with driving especially on motorways.
- Next 3/4 months - get a car, even if basic. Need to be confident driving alone and on motorways.
- continue with Gcse English and Maths evening courses. (I am actually 28 but I left school at 15) Get to the exams and hopefully pass them in May/June.
- get through Jury service in January.- Hold my new job down until the summer when I look for a better one
- Deal with some of the issues I have around my body and the way it looks.
- try not to worry too much about my mums financial issues. If the worst comes to the worst I will find a way to deal with it and survive.
