Day before yesterday I had an immensely cheering thought.  Very unusual for me, lately:  I've been mainly besieged by negative thoughts.  This one doesn't sound like anything very earth-shattering when I write it down, but it feels very significant to me.

Basically, the thought is:  All good experiences count.  They count now just as much as they ( Read more... )

Feeling low in a non-specific way.

Trying not to panic about it. 

That was a difficult day.

First I went for my OCD therapy.  My psychologist had been to supervision about me, and she has changed her approach somewhat as a result.  I found this really upsetting and frustrating, as the way she had been previously had been really helping me, and I was making good progress.  I don't know - I need to think about it ( Read more... )

I'm teaching myself to touch-type numbers (which I never bothered with when I learned touch-typing years ago).  No particular reason - just to see if I could do it.  It's slow, but I'm getting the hang of it.

My new glasses are giving me hell.  Headaches, eyestrain and a generally weird feeling.  I've actually reverted to my old ones this evening - they are more comfortable even though it's like looking through mist because of the scratches.  I will go back to the optician tomorrow ( Read more... )

Still got a cold.  I had Monday to Wednesday off sick last week, which was much needed ( Read more... )

I'm exhausted.  I always am when my brother comes to stay.  It's just too much after the week at work.  We went out to a party at our local pub last night and there was a live band that was really loud.  And my brother kept talking about philosophy in a very vague way.  Didn't get to bed till really late, and then I couldn't sleep because not only ( Read more... )
