    I've had a rough couple of hours (thanks anxiety) and thought back to when I was in sixth form and the mental health person there recommended I write down three positive things that happened each day. I think the idea is that eventually you start seeing more good things and less of the bad? I keep a mood app but that's not exactly the same.
    Just thought this could help others too! We can support each other on here :relaxed:

    Anyway, so, three good things about my day so far:

    1. Operation "drink more hot drinks" is progressing - apple and cinnamon tea today! Pretty damn nice too.

    2. Best lunch of the year (I know we're only eleven days in but hey) - how the hell do you do that to cauliflower??

    3. My mental health worker here at home said not to worry about not having a "career" straight out of uni, that it can take some time to find out what you want to do. That took the pressure off a little.

    1: I got lots of tasks done that I wanted to get done this month, and made more progress than I thought I would by this time.

    2: When I finished all my tasks and had some quiet time at the till, I started doodling, and a customer (a guy I've always found intimidating) liked my drawing and was very nice to me about it.

    3: I've made good progress with some drawings I started working on a couple of days ago.

    1. well, im just feeling generally good. I think thats a good thing.

    2. Have been getting in touch with some old friends and began talking to them again.

    3. Found some new music that i enjoy.

    That suggestion with writing down positive things is a good one, i might try it. :slight_smile:

    Three good things that happened today:

    I had another nice meal. Tried creme brulee for the first time!

    Got some uni work done (yay scarily-near deadlines), talking to a friend in the process - she helped with my terrible lack of semicolons

    Right now I don't feel too bad. I guess that's more a mood thing than a good thing, but the two are linked for me!

    Love this idea!

    Today:
    1. I'm home sick-not fun, but to see the bright side, I have some free time!
    2. My school projects are going well and I actually don't feel behind for once
    3. I'm getting to a better place in regards to my sexuality-it no longer feels like a crisis.

    1. I woke up and I'm alive

    2. I had dinner with my parents who are both pretty healthy at their age of 80.

    3. I talked to three of my friends today that care about me.

    1. I got to leave work 3 hours early (Yaaasss!)
    2. I actually got a decent sleep last night
    3. My former coworkers invited me to their staff party. I very rarely get invited out to things, so its nice ME getting invited to things, not just tagging along with my bf.
