YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

I made it to a support group yesterday: 3rd time's a charm. Received check in mail from landlord. They took a couple hundred from my deposit to haul/repair/clean. I'm relieved, as I imagined the cost would be much higher. Decided to put off purchasing ipad/pencil for now. Going old school: using a comp book, pencil, pen & ink instead. Also dialing back my plan to clean basement too. First I want to get consistent with my grooming. Still haven't established care with medical provider.

Self-care I have performed:
1) thrifted vhs chick flicks for 50 cents a pop
2) snacked on dried apricots & flavored almonds
3) physical therapy stretches for my scoliosis

Self-care I want to perform:
1) fix childhood bike
2) mud mask
3) listen to MIHH podcast

Thanks for explaining the kitten picnic, Hobo. I contribute to various animal rescue organizations, but I greatly admire anyone who does hands on work, especially working in shelters and fostering.

Thanks also for posting about your self-care efforts. It inspires me to expand my definition of self-care and to try a little harder.
