Thank you Sphinxly

I am a loner except when I'm sad then I need support. 

I went for a walk this morning and hosed the garden. 

I am on medication for anxiety & depression. I was okay this morning.

Now that 'm writing this I  feel so sad. It's the anniversary of my husbands death soon. Some anniversarys are sadder than others. I'm working this afternoon. I'm desperate for the sadness to go away. Seeing GP tomorrow & psychologist on Thursday.

Thank you NatureLover.

This morning I went for a walk.There were lots of trees. 

That was a positive thing to do.
