From Surviving to Thriving

 Hey, first of all i want to say i am so nervous about starting this, i decided to start writing, because i want to get across how i feel and what i am doing to try and improve my symptoms, and hopefully people will join me on this mission, because this cant be it, their has to be a way to help ourselves feel better, so i am going to start sharing what i am doing sort of like an experiment and i will let you know if their are any improvements, until next time.

Morning all, the sun is shining here in the uk, which makes everyone feel a little better in mood, so i just want to talk a little today about a couple of free things i have discovered that really help with my mood. first of all, i know everyone goes on about hydration, but they are right, drinking your water helps the body to function better, so just get on with it, you may not like it, but your body will thank you for it. Secondly, we all love a morning drink of choice, choose to take it outside, weather permitting of course, the only time i don't go outside is if it is raining, and just sit for a while, the light exposure is amazing for making you become more alert quicker and also it helps regulate your sleep, if your anything like me i haven't had a greats night sleep in a long time, and slowly by doing this i am starting to feel more rested, well thats it for today, until next time.

Well the weather has taken a turn this morning, so i have not been able to get my dose of sunshine, i have done a five minute dance, i subscribe to Body Grove, by Misty Propolis, she really motivates me to move, i have had my water and i am now expecting a call from a counsellor for my trauma session, this is the first one so i have no idea what to expect, updates later.
