Needing is one thing...

I have been sick for two days, which means I haven't been to my day treatment. Luckily, I haven't been very anxious or depressed, just feeling that my sinuses want to blow up my face. I bought cold meds, but I'm going to have to take it back to the store because I can't take it with my meds. Such is life.

I did meet with my peer support person today though; a peer supporter being sort of like the mental illness version of an AA sponsor. He's very nice, but I'm not sure if I'm OK with a man doing my peer support. We'll see how that goes. We got quite a bit done on my Wellness Recovery Action Plan (or WRAP).

One weird part of WRAP is that I have to talk with my support system about their willingness to be a part of my suppors system, and also what are warning signs before I go into a relapse with my depression and anxiety. This makes me feel a bit weird. I don't know why though, because if someone I was friendly with came up to me and was all, "Hey so I want you to be part of my support system so that I can call you to talk or hangout when I feel like I'm losing my mind," I'd be all over it. But that's me, not other people. I always feel weird when it is I that needs to do the needing and the asking. Luckily there are a few people that are already cool with it, so it's not a huge list...but it's still intimidating.

I was going to write more, but I just sneezed on my computer and now need to go clean it off.
