I just talked to my lecturer about how things look for me at the moment regarding the course work etc. Because at the end of the class he mentioned that he would give next week's presentation when originally I signed up for that one. And I was like D=
But instead of just accepting that and miss next week's class due to anxiety shizzles I asked him "Dude! Wasn't that supposed to be my presentation?" And we talked about it and would agree that I would do bits of it while he would do the rest. I don't feel very heroic now, but surely missing out on the perfect opportunity to give up on things is something?
Lol. No, I didn't. It was more like "erm ... well ... like ... wasn't I kinda supposed to give a presentation next week?" And to be fair, he just wasn't sure where I was standing mental health wise and if I would be up for it. So it's all good.
I went to a & e and got stitches even though I really didn't want to. I also accepted that I had to see the psych liaison and didn't make a fuss about it.
Well done everyone for your acts of heroism, and what a good idea for a thread
"Do you know what depression feels like?
It feels like a thousand pound weight holding your body down in a pool of water barely reaching your chin, so no matter how bad your neck hurts you gotta keep your head up to survive."
Jennargh; well done, sweet pea <3 *big hero stickers*
Lanaaaaargh; choosing to keep fighting with something opposed to giving in is as heroic as it gets. Well done, sweetheart. *sticks sticker to your forehead*
Hannah; you did really well to be so sensible and cooperative, I understand how hard it is and big hero points for you!
I've just woken up, and therefore have not had chance to do anything but rest. Though I did turn off my pointless alarm and went back to sleep because I'm flaring and need the rest.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
In Jenna-related news, I've just nommed a healthy breakfast, which included smoothie, which is something that makes my ED brain sad. Today I'm planning to have two more super-sensible meals, instead of mindless grazing. GIVE ME LOVE.
Seriously proud of you today Jenna!
I have no planned heroics,

That's fantastic love! Well done. Keep up the brave work!
I have a big heroism planned for friday. Im going to have a lesson with the teacher that bugs me and im going to stay calm. And im going to deal with him by doing healthy things like breathing and praying and drawing silly caricatures to show to my friend rather than self harming or faking a nosebleed and leaving. This is absolutely epic.
He was no longer jean valjean but no. 24601 -les miserable
Some of life's mysteries will never be solved, such as why, after spending an entire evening listenong to Bach, do I find myself humming "the birdie song".......
I am reaching, but i fall, and the stars are black and cold, as i stare into the void of a world that cannot hold- les miserables
Instead of trolling myself by buying clothes that were too small for me I got myself the first season of the Golden Girls to widen my range of comforting things to watch.

That's great and definitely worthy of a hero brigade sticker

I talked instead of letting things build up to danger level and also talked, after coaxing, about something that has been seriously upsetting me for a few days, accepted compliments without arguing (this is usually impossible for me) and am starting to work on trying to forgive myself. I know it's only a little thing, but it's still me making choices to make positive changes rather than taking the easy destructive route.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.

Well done Katyface!
And yeah for lecture and appointment attendance Katie, that's great!
Alex, good luck with your Friday heroics!
I happen to know that JodiE attended lectures and stuff today, so she should have hero points too :)
And MARIEEEEEEEEEEE <3 Well done, I'm glad you spoke about it, and I hope that it reassured you that you don't need to feel bad. *showers with more compliments which must be accepted graciously*
The following content has been hidden - Reason : food issues
Last night I made nudelauflauf and instead of having all of it like I usually would in a situation like that I had some of it and put the leftovers in a little box and put the box in my freezer. Which is good as now I have something to go back to when I want food but cba to prepare anything :)
I also realized this morning that not having food in my flat is stupid. Because, you know, you have to leave the house when you actually WANT to eat. So yeah, I plan a trip to the supermarket soon :)
