"I will be kind and I will be sweet,"


@Shadami: Omg that's so cute!! Lil yoga kid lol
I find things that are more involved are better for me, so an exercise bike would be great.

Also Koah - we still are! My bedtime routine is brush teeth, take meds, go to bed and stare at my phone for an hour lol

@Shadami: I did this last year with my kids, my daughter loves doing my stretch/yoga app on my phone with me. I bought us a big mat to share. Technically it's a gymnastics map, but it was cheaper than 2 individual yoga mats.
My son, however, dislikes the stretching stuff.

@Shadami: OH!! I know exactly what you mean. xD One month my work did something like that for a chance to win a Fit Bit. I thought it was an interesting concept!

@0v7: May I ask if you take medication to manage it, and if so, does it help?

@Koah: I was thinking about trying that (exercise before bed). But sometimes strenous activity has the opposite effect for me--giving me energy. So I'm afraid it'll do that. I suppose I should try it on a night where I don't have to worry about waking up earlyish the next morning...

I don't know if i can remember to exercise every day for a solid 20 minutes. xD but that's kind of what i want to work up to. Making sure i do something every day to get moving and get my strength back. Depression and preeclampsia doubled really ruined me bad.

Also i want to fit into my stockings . They're SO CUTE. they're these argyle pattern stockings but instead of the typical diamonds they're little skulls and crossbones. gah loves .

@Aisukohi: I take medication for most of my mental.. health stuff, but not ADHD. For ADHD I try to instead do what works for me, which is make sure I'm occupied with 3ish senses, try not to overwork myself with the hyperfocus, and also let myself be like, fidgety? Is that the word lol

@Aisukohi: my evening work-out is a free splits-training app on my phone. It takes anywhere between 15-30 minutes. Nothing on there is extremely strenuous. Can confirm my a$$ is looking better than ever. XD

@Shadami: My seasonal depression is taking its' toll on me already. My schedule with the work-out is all over the place right now. But I am doing it 4 out of 7 days a week right now. [at least]. I throw a show or movie on since I do that Anyway.

@0v7: Your schedule sounds like my husband's. lol. He looks at his phone for about an hour a night. Or he plays computer games for a while. Until he's tired.

I made thread thing

it's not pretty yet, but i made it. I am going to be trying to use it to keep myself accountable regardless. Because if I do that I'm more likely to actually try and not just give up. You're all welcome to join and post your own journey. ^-^ and we can help out on bad days and cheer on good!

@Koah: I wonder if he has sleep problems? I sure do and I find looking at stuff on my phone that's boring helps me fall asleep lol

@Shadami: That design sounds hella cute. I like argyle, though I hardly wear it. For "fancy" designs, I prefer pinstripes, although I hardly have that in my wardrobe. I want more though!

@0v7: Gotcha. Hey, don't fix what ain't broke, as the expression goes!

@Koah: Oh, nice! xD I'm thinking about finding routines on youtube or someting, but might try an app if I can find one that targets what I'm looking to work on (upper body, mainly).

@0v7: He does! PTSD. and not just military experiences. He has a very active brain and it takes a Long time to slow his mind down enough for him to sleep. His therapist actually told him to Not be on screens when he knows he needs to sleep. But, he loves educational videos and stuff. It's hard to not be on screen. They told him to read books or find a hobby outside of screen time.

I specifically like the soft argyle patterns that aren't blaring. and usually black white and red. xD

@Shadami: Oh nice. :) I used to have a pair of Converse shoes that was gray, but had black and mauve argyle designs on it. Also a corset with a similar design. I miss my fashion corsets, but the types I want to get again are hard to find. </3

@Koah: I do too - maybe that's why I have a hard time sleeping, even tho I've done TF-CBT :0

i have no idea what those letters mean. is it an adhd med or something?

My daughter doesn't have any medications. we just try to help her without them. We've got a couple fidget spinners lying around the house as well for her to use and i keep things for her to fidget with during her meetings.

@Shadami: TF-CBT is Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy - mostly for those with PTSD or C-PTSD !
CBT or DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) could help with ADHD I think!
