Feeling wonderful!
I know some of you may be wondering where my latest post went? Well, I had an issue with my forum (again!) and had to have my host (Thanks, Host Prestige!) do a back up which worked! ๐ Sadly, it was from before my post so lost that. Not planning on re-writing it.
But the gist of it was, that I was given some more medication (for bipolar along with my anti-depressions). I seem to be doing much better lately. โบ๏ธ
In fact…today has been a pretty good day. Especially considering how tired I was today! I slept horrid last night! Went to bed late (from messing with my site), and had a hard time sleeping so I got maybe three hours of sleep. But I got up feeling decent.
I’ve also decided to ditch the gratitude journal I was using (I have others too, but not using em yet), and decided to go back to the Five Minute Journal. I love the structure of it. I ordered a new one and till it comes I’ll use the app. Started it today, and it felt lovely. ๐
So, yeah, pretty good day, and am feeling really good!
Now I have to get ready for bed soon! Night!

Hi Megan! Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve last visited your site. I read through your previous posts and saw that you’ve decided to use your real name instead of Maroon Caludin, now. I think that’s nice. =) I understand your feelings and reasons for why you made that choice. Nicknames are fun and wonderful, of course, but our real names are also very beautiful.
I’m sorry to hear you’d been having some tough times. But that’s great to hear you’ve been doing pretty well, lately. In one of your previous posts you mentioned a counselor — is that going well? I sometimes find that talking to someone helps me work through things, but it has to be someone I know like a friend or my sister. I’m not sure how I would feel about talking to a stranger or someone I barely know, either.
Oohh! Just did a quick browse of the site you linked, and The Five Minute Journal looks pretty cool! =) I really like the concept and design of it.
What does a Gratitude Journal look like?

Hey Christine! =3
Yeah I feel I’ve been doing a bit better. As for the counselor. I still have a hard time talking to her, but I try. Sometimes it has been helpful. I can’t entirely say though. It seems to be a hit or miss thing still yet.
Doesn’t it? Mostly a gratitude journal looks similar to that…you usually list things your well…grateful for.

Not getting enough sleep sucks. :/ I have that problem myself, and every time I think I finally have a grasp on it, I don’t.
Losing posts sucks. >.> Hope nothing gets lost again anytime soon!

Yeah, lack of sleep is evil!

That is annoying that you had some more problems with the forum again. I am glad that your host was able to help.
It’s fantastic that you are doing much better at the moment. It sounds like the new medication may be helping! ๐
You have to keep a journal that is right for you. It’s important that you enjoy writing in it. ๐

Yes, I was very grateful they fixed it! I’ve had that forum for…years. XD Many, many years.
Thank you! =3
Yeah, I guess so!

It’s good you’re feeling better. I’m sorry that you’re feeling and having trouble sleeping. Been there. Done that.

Yeah, lack of sleep is never fun!

I’m so happy that you’re using the Five Minute Journal, I’m so glad that it’s helping. I have the physical one and app version but prefer the app because I don’t like having too many *things* around. I hope you continue feeling wonderful!

I’m not really sure which I prefer. I guess we’ll see! I really do love the structure of it!

Iโm glad to hear you are doing better lately! Iโm just catching up on your blog โบ๏ธ
There are many different types of journals out there. I think the gratitude journal is really specific but the Five Minute Journal seems much better in terms of mindfulness and getting you โin the zoneโ and I feel like it might stick better? Hopefully it works better for you in the long run ๐

I can’t say much yet, but it does sometimes put me in a more positive mood!
