Hurray! I woke up in daylight today! Did I still feel depressed? Yes, but at least it wasn't 4 a.m. and then 5 a.m. in the dark, which has been my pattern. Just waking with dawn was encouraging in itself. So, perhaps I'm turning a corner. Glory be! I think it may partly be due to my improved eating habits. I haven't been eating between meals for the last few days and especially not in the evenings past supper. I've also been eating more natural foods and cut out a lot of garbage. There's a frozen pizza in the freezer right now calling my name, but I called it a name instead. ha! Not that eating pizza is causing my depression. But I'm comitted to trying to do my best to help myself. And nutrition is one factor. Now, on the minus side....I'm starting over yet again with the 14 consecutive days of not saying negative speech. My, my how hard that is! But I know there is validity to it as I have already noticed improvement in my thinking from just taking a stab at it! It's rather liberating, in a way, to realize that I have the power to reprogram my brain by controlling what comes out of my mouth.
So, is anyone out there?? If so, please feel free to lurk. I do hope I can help someone along the way. Even though I'm still struggling with depression/anxiety, I am improved enough to totally believe that it can be cured and that no one needs to live like that forever! (I hope I'm right!)

PROGRESS!
I just want to mention that if anyone is following this blog, I am very happy to have you leave comments or email me if you are depressed and have questions about any of this program that I'm implementing.
I also want to mention that my walk with the Lord is so important in this process, so I will be mentioning that as I go along since this is about my own progress. If anyone who may be reading my blog is not a believer in God or in Christianity, I hope you won't be discouraged from still walking along with me on this journey. There are many practical things (aside from spiritual ones) that can help you. So you can just pick and choose. And who knows, maybe even the spiritual will help you too. Let's face it, if you have depression, you already believe in hell. Perhaps you can find help in a belief in heaven as well. :-) Okay, just wanted to report my wonderful news about my sleep improvement! Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z
