bleedingangel84Today was really nice, despite my being zombie tired. I left a message for one of my best friends the other day, and today, I got a reply back, which I feel really happy about. It just feels better to feel not so alone with this, even though my friend lives on another continent. It feels like I can breathe more easily, and I'm not quite so on the edge of a straitjacket as I was. So...yay. Progress has been made. (Knock on Wood.)
My online friends that I generally spend time with were lovely and supportive as always. I really feel incredibly lucky in terms of my online support system. The people I've been fortunate enough to meet online have sat up with me during nights, talking me through depressions, break-ups, suicidal urges and other badness in my life. That's what I call going above and beyond the call of duty, and I am incredibly fortunate and blessed to know such people and be lucky enough to call them friends of mine.
Another positive thing that happened today was that I got a reply to a comment I left on a YouTube video dealing with anorexia in boys. It was from one of the boys featured in the documentary. He is now recovered from the illness and is studying medicine himself. I was just so pleased to hear that he is doing so well, it made me feel better myself. My own relationship with food is not so good at the moment, so his reply was like a small burst of extra motivation, which I desperately needed without realizing it.
I don't mean to gossip or tell tales on anyone, but this news is one of the things that made me feel happy today, and it's rare to hear/see happy news anymore, so I wanted to share that. I am actually happy and content right now. I feel peaceful. Those emotions are so rare for me that sometimes I forget how they feel. It's nice to experience them like this, especially after so long a time being down and blah, so I'm going to enjoy it while it's here.
And, for another drop in the positivity bucket, my nephews just got haircuts for school today, and they look so adorable I could eat them with a spoon. Such handsome little boys. They will be beating the admirers off with sticks before long, I know it.
So yeah, for now, things are good. You've all been so great to support me through the bad places, I wanted to share some good.
