Tonight,my road to recovery continues onward.I had a pretty good day today.
Today,I woke up in the early morning,though later than I wanted to,and bathed.After my bath,I had my usual quick breakfast and my usual 2 cups of coffee.After that,I did my personal PC work and I got dressed to proceed with the rest of my day.
I had only a few things planned.I first went to the spirituality group that I needed to attend today.I was looking forward to this group with a lot of positive anticipation and enthusiasm.
The group was wonderful.I did get a lot out of it and after it was over,I headed over to a community kitchen to have my lunch.After lunch,I headed straight home.
When I got home,before relaxing,I decided to give the bathtub in the bathroom a thorough cleaning job as it really needed it.After cleaning the tub,I relaxed and took it easy for a while and I watched a movie while doing so.
After eating,I watched the evening news for a while and I also did some more personal PC work.Overall,a pretty good day.
Though my recovery continues,I am still,on a one day at a time basis,dealing and struggling with the symptoms of bipolar depression with schizophrenic tendencies.I am still attending my therapy sessions.I am also taking my medication as directed.I am hoping to continue feeling better in the days and months ahead.
Regarding my SSA struggles,my temptation to act out was really strong early this morning as I had a morning erection that also throbbed.I simply resisted the temptation the way that I always do by tossing and turning until the erection died down.I slept for a little while longer until I got up to do what I had to do.For the rest of the day,my temptation to act out on my desires was minimal if nil at best.I had really no temptation to act out in any way,shape or form.Still,I need to keep on guard and be watchful because the temptation to act out can strengthen again in the near future.I will just have to learn new ways of dealing with the temptation when it comes around.The temptation to act out can reemerge when least expected.While I did escape it this time,I have to be prepared for when it happens again.I am hoping to stay strong and I am hoping that I can still continue to battle this dreaded demon known as SSA.I know that I can do it and I will continue fighting that demon.I am determined to win and I won't ever surrender to that demon.I will keep resisting that demon and I will continue to stay strong.
Tomorrow,I have an appointment with the therapist over at the local hospital.As for the rest of the day,I have made no plans.But I am hoping that whatever I choose to do gives me positive benefits.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ
