Its a new month, so its time for a new thread! As with last month's, this thread is a place where you can list and receive support for any goals you might have for the month. They can be big goals or small goals, it doesn't matter. Its the act of having other people know of your goals and encourage you to complete them that will hopefully keep us motivated to achieve them.
My goals for March are to get off of the allergy medication that I've been taking, continue working on exposure therapy when I can, continue working on not fighting or resisting my anxiety, put buttons on the sweaters I crocheted for my grandmas dog (yes, I still haven't done that), and to finish crocheting what I'm currently working on.

My main goal today... is to make aerobic dance exercise as habit. Doesn't matter at early morning or afternoon, but 30 minutes daily. I realized not moving too much and having depression caused me to gained weight again. And I can't do the same extreme diet like I did 2 years ago, because it gave me dyspepsia impact. I shall seek other way, and doing simple aerobic dance might help me to do some movement at home.

Almost halfway through the month! I know that its been pretty slow lately and everyone's been feeling kind of crappy, but does anyone else have any goals for this month that they'd like to share? No goal is too small :)

I have a few goals. Like straightening my potted plant. Because it's about to fall to the floor. And I have been staring at it about to fall to the floor for at least six months now. Part of the problem is that one half of it is from an old dead guy upstairs who died some months ago. He was so sick with obsessions and tics he hardly ever left his apartment. His caretaker cried and cried every time we saw her for weeks. But I never took the time to know him. And now I have a piece of his crappy broken xerophyte in my window about to fall to the floor. It makes me so sad that I try to ignore it. But I can't. Because I found it in the sidewalk where it had fallen from his window around the time he died - I keep seeing him falling and knocking the plant out the open window even though I have no idea how he died.
I really needed to write that somwhere I guess.

I won't, thanks :) It's so sad. It's like I have the last piece of some lonely dead guys life in my window without ever really getting to know him. He had no family as far as I know.

(i am pretty late to see this and write ) These are all great but maybe try to do one thing at a time so that it doesn't become overwhelming. I think the most important thing on the list is the binge eating and vomiting. Do you have anyone to support you with this in real life?

Its the last day of the month, so its time for this thread to come to a close. Not many people joined this month, but that's okay. The point of these threads is to add goals and create accountability only when you want to. I'll create a new thread for April sometime tomorrow.
As for my goals for this month, I actually completed most of them. I got off both of the allergy medications I was taking, even though the first one caused me some pretty terrible withdrawal symptoms. I started working on exposure therapy again last week. I did a pretty good job of working on not resisting and fighting my anxiety. I finally put buttons on the sweaters I crocheted for my grandmas dog, literally minutes ago, which is great because its been on my to do list for 3 months. And while I haven't finished crocheting the thing that I'm currently working on, I am getting close. I mostly just have the seaming and ribbing left to do. We'll see how I do on that because I haven't done ribbing for a project this big before, so I don't know how well its going to come out.

My plant is still crooked but I tied it to a window hasp with a sock and two hair elastics. So I guess my goal for April is to not open the window and not let the cycle of xerophyte death by sidewalk continue :) .
I also have a few scary doctors appointments I'm not looking forward to. Another goal is to go and not stay home because I'm scared.
Maybe I should just give the stupid plant to someone who will appreciate it without shedding tears every time they see it.
Goal of April
- To not let potted plant become omen of sudden death - Write six chapters where protagonist doesn't see omens of death everywhere - Not read too much into coincidences like plant of death landing in front of my window while I was writing outline of funerals. Because I don't believe in omens like that. - To not begin believing in omens like that.

As someone who is also having to deal with doctors appointments that they'd rather not have to go to, I understand how difficult it might be to not stay home. Keep us posted on how you're doing with that goal, it might be easier for you if you get some encouragement from other people on the forum. I would recommend moving this post to the new thread for April so that it'll be easier to find. You can literally just copy and paste the text if you'd like, it really doesn't matter. Done, thank you.
