The Good News Thread

I've been taking anti-depresseants since a while back, and a few weeks ago we upped the dosage, so now they're really making a positive difference to my mental health. And they help me loose weight

Great news! It's wonderful when you finally get the dosage right on meds like that. Medication isn't right for everyone, but when they work they really work!

Yeah I was surprised how much better everything feels now that it's kicked in. Things are just...you know, good! Last night I felt immeansly content for the first time in a long while. Hope they keep working.

Good luck with the date Goji!

My mother liked her gifts. As well she should!

Goods news here -- my mother loved the gift I sent her.

I sent her a thing of strawberry flavored, no sugar no calorie creame chewables that I purchased at Big Lots. And I included a few cherry flavored no sugar no calorie hard candies.

She didn't want to go to the grocery store and had no snacks and was craving some, and low & behold -- that's when the package arrived. The day after Mother's Day, but still -- it got there.

I didn't die yet. That's gotta be good news for the landlord.

That's awesome to hear. I know it can be frustrating when things don't seem to be working, but you stuck with it and found something that works! Good luck on the weight-loss as well!

I'm going back to work on monday after having been on sick leave for almost 3 months due to a broken ankle.
Fortunately the academy has an excellent program to get me back on track (and in shape!). I can walk again (yay!), drive my car, but no running just yet. My reintegration program involves sports five times a week..
So hopefully if all goes well, I can finish my study in august and graduate in december.

Great news, Omnius! Sounds like with your motivation and the program you'll get back on track just fine. Glad to hear your ankle is better too.

My new job is going really well.

That's really good to hear; glad you're enjoying the job, your co-workers, and finding time for a social life as well!

Good news on my part:
- Mother's Day presents for everyone went over really well
- Mother's Day brunch with my husband, parents, and in-laws went really well (a scenario I could not have imagined when my husband and I first started dating)
- the 9/10 on a quiz that had been bugging me all weekend was magically corrected to a 10/10 and makes me more confident in my knowledge of the material
- my parents a)took interest in things I was telling them about my classes and b)actually seem proud of me!

I scored some awesomely priced airline tickets to Long Beach, CA.

I hope you are going to see family. Just because I live next to Long Beach and unless you going to the new Comic-con or seeing family I can't see why you'd wanna go there. And the Comic-con isn't until October.

(Actually I kid. Long Beach has some really nice areas. My girlfriend and I love to go to the dog beach there).

I am heading there for a business convention. Oh and my seats are in 1st class for about $200 more than coach. Since I am catching a red eye back the $200 in savings from not spending another night in a hotel are now being used to pay for the ticket.

Didn't take that much really, first med I tried, just didn't start taking much except some weight loss until we upped the dosage. Now I'm happy as well


As for good news, todays good news is that dad agrees in my choice for a replacment car for the Saab. We'll just have to see how we can figure out the economy seeing as it's a bit expensive for a used car, but I think worth it. It's a current gen Skoda Superb Sedan by the way.
