Social Anxiety Blogs

It's amazing to me that when I'm over tired... haven't slept in a while, how good I feel emotionally. I sincerely wish I could bottle this feeling and bring it out when I'm hugely depressed so I wouldn't have to suffer like I do. The best part is that I actually, genuinely feel good right now.

Maybe that's why I tend to be an insomniac.... that's the only thing that really works for me as far as depression and anxiety goes. On the down side, since I've been sitting most of the last 18 hours, my feet are swollen but on the up side, I'm just about done with the sleeve increases on my sweater and here in a bit, I'll be able to start on the body *happy dance* I only have about 2 more inches to go for the increases and that won't take me long to do. Good thing too since the temps are going to drop here in the next few days. If I keep working on it at this pace, I'll have it done by the weekend.

On another up note, I decided that I was going to tackle making real socks (not plain ol' tube socks). I wish I had the good sock yarn with the elastic in it but all I have is acrylic (boo hoo). I don't think I can get any of that locally unless I go to The Yarn Market near Columbus. Maybe I'll do that next weekend.

I actually succeeded in starting a 'toe up' sock the other night. I know that, to someone who doesn't knit, that really doesn't sound like a big deal but it was to me. Making socks always intimidated me but I did it. Had to try about 5 times but I got it finally.

My next challenge is to drive to Jo Ann's later on. Hopefully, I won't be swaying.... if I am, I won't drive obviously but I'm hoping that I won't be. I need to get a few things that I've been needing for a while, plus, I need to stop at Walmart to get food for the cats. I probably have enough food for them until tomorrow as I just filled up their food bowls but I like to be prepared on that kind of stuff.

In the event that I really am too tired to drive, I'll just wait until tomorrow but I really want to go tonight since I'm feeling so good.
