Finally feeling good!

For the past 3 days, I feel good :) For me, that means being able to get up when the alarm goes off and it's still dark, and think, 'okay, I have things to do' instead of 'meh, whatever'. I go to work and don't hate it, I just do it and try to be good natured. I have tackled some cleaning jobs at home that were put off for forever. I noticed how wonderful the cold ( 5 degrees ) air smelled today.

I have been taking the Wellbutrin for almost a year, and consistantly exercising, and started a Light Therapy Box use since December; but I think the key for me is also the foods I eat.

I've been having whole foods or minimally processed (the lowfat dairy stuff) for the past 5 days, and maybe that's the last ingredient in my mix of 'what makes me feel good'. I had been having LOTS of sweet and cakey stuff for the past month (yeah, holiday goodies) and I had my usual dark feelings up through Christmas. Bleh.

Just had to share my "feeling good!" feelings with you all :hug:

Congratulations VM, thats great to hear. I'm glad the light box is working for you as well.

:hug:

That's quite a beautiful description of what feeling better really is. :)

thank you for understanding! Just really simple things, aren't they :^:

I am very happy for you. I love feeling good.

i know exactly what you mean -- i am currently going through finals, and, for the first time in my life, i'm not worried about them. i'm studying -- but not worried. healthy food is a miracle.
