My mom bought me this purple mocha bag that I totally love! And I bought myself a lime green shawl. I think they fit each other perfectly. Now I just have to get a matching coat, my dark green one (or my red spring-coat) does not match. I can’t go all color crazy ;).

I took advantage of the discount today as well, I bought a make up-remover from Nivea!
When I’m standing in line, and there are perhaps only one or two people in front of me and several people behind me, an older lady with some goods in her hands comes up and stands next to me. I’m thinking maybe she wants to ask the cashier something. But when the first person leave, she tries to get in front of me in the queue! It totally pisses me off!

Since I’m learning to stand up for myself, I barked loudly at the lady (in a very nice way) that she has to go back to the end of the line! She just stared at me and turned away, I guess she went to the back of the line.

And wow, I felt great. Swedish people, including myself, are known to let these kind of things pass and just get silently pissed instead. In my case, situations like these can annoy me for days! Now I made sure that wouldn’t happen!

I have to mention that it would be a totally different thing if the person is injured in anyway or asks very nicely if they can go before me in the line.

What would you have done? Do you care about queue etiquette?

I’ve had a How I Met Your Mother-marathon lately. I’ve seen two seasons. Totally obsessed! And when Valentines Day came up I was totally thinking that I should be with Ted and that we should have a relationship like Lily and Marshall. I’m kind of a sucker for close-friends-shows, since I haven’t even been close to relationships like that since junior high school. Even though I have friends now (we live to far away from each other), I still want something like they have. It might sound pathetic to you, but I’ve always wanted to belong to a little group of great friends.

So yeah, I spend my Valentines Day with a meal from McDonald’s in front of a couple of episodes of How I Met Your Mother. How was your Valentine?

Radical Self Love

If you are a fan of Gala Darling you probably already know that she decided to declare February the month of Radical Self Love. And when I saw her video about making yourself a Radical Self Love Bible I thought “What a great idea!“. The second after I remembered that I’ve already started on my own Radical Self Love Bible back on January the 1st! With almost the same concept! Great minds think alike I guess!

Above you can see the I Love Secrets notebook that I bought in November 2009. Since January the 1st I have written down great quotes, made a list of goals I would like to achieve in 2010, I cut out and glued on inspiring pictures from magazines (I loved doing that when I was young!), started an ongoing list of things and that make me happy so I can look back on them when my mind is filled with darkness, etc. I also write about things I feel that I’m good at or things that I’ve done really good, which is important for me that’s battling with depression and anxiety, to remember the good stuff.

Another even more important thing that I’ve started doing is to write down all my negative thoughts and add a more realistic answer, explanation or note right below it. It’s something I’ve learned from my psychologist, and I can tell you that it’s extremely hard. In the beginning it was horrible, but with time it has become easier. So I will continue with that.

The How of Happiness

Lately I have read a some self-help-books. Some are stupid, some are… interesting to say the least (*cough* The Secret *cough*) , some are not meant to be read by the general reader and some can be quite good. Most of them are stating the obvious, but there is no key to success or happiness, only hard work.

In the picture above you can see the one book that I actually liked. It’s called The how of happiness: a scientific approach to getting the life you want and it’s written by Sonja Lyubomirsky, I borrowed it at the library. Her tone is edgy and fun and she gives concrete and specific suggestions and tips. She explains the science behind happiness in a very easy and fun way. If you are in to these kind of books or you just waited for the right one, here it is. From what I have seen, many people around the globe agrees with me! The book has great reviews! It’s actually so good that I’m thinking of buying it!

I’m going to go through the book one more time and write down important quotes and tips in my Radical Self Love Bible/I Love Secrets notebook. The quest for happiness continues!

So the year 2009 has come to an end. A lot of bad things happened and a lot of good things happened too. I was supposed to do one of those big ass memes that flows around the blogosphere, but I didn’t know what to write on over half of them.

This year I have, yet again, not only been struggling with my anxiety and depression, but also “brain noise”. But I don’t want to talk about severe suicidal thoughts that I had to go through, I want to focus on the good stuff.

After a bumpy road I’m now down to a small dose of the meds and I have been pretty stable for quite some time now. I’ve even experienced happiness from time to time!

I have learned to take responsibility for my own health. No one else, especially the doctors, is going to decide what I should do, or give me meds that will turn me in to a zombie forever. I’ve let the doctors that for 7 years, enough is enough.  I’ve also been dragging my ass to therapy for the first time in years, and I’m still going regularly. I’ve experienced the advantages of CBT-therapy for the first time in my life!
Another important lesson I’ve learned is the ability to say NO.

This year I have been inspired by a few amazing girls that knows what they want and goes for it. So thank you Shrinkle, Doe Deere, Maia, and Galadarling, for making me dream of a better and more fun future!

I have experienced a few amazing events; 1. My birthday-party when I turned 25! The best I’ve ever had! 2. The trips to Copenhagen with Maia.

Last year I made a New Years resolution that I would make notes of every book I read during a year, just to see how many it would be in the end. I didn’t start with this book project until the end of August this year, but better late than never! So far I have read 19 books.

There are a lot more things, both good and bad, that I could bring up. But that would take a whole year to write down ;). I’m going to set up some small goals for 2010, just to have something to strive for. I really hope 2010 will be better than 2009! :)

Birthday card

My birthday party, the one I had with my relatives and family was so successful that I can call it the best birthday I’ve ever had! I can’t even remember one good (perfect) birthday in the past so hopefully I will remember this with joy!

The day after I had a tiny itsy bitsy party with 3 friends. That was quite nice too…

I got flowers and money (lots!) from my family and relatives. I a lip gloss from sarajessica and a gift voucher at a bookstore from Maia (with a pretty card!). Thanks guys! :D

I’m not really looking forward to it. Setting it up and preparing for it is fun, and of course, the gifts!

On Saturday I’ll have a party for my friends. I invited all my Facebook friends (around 60) and we will be 4-5 people, including me. It will be nice to have a small get-together.

On another note, I totally forgot to mention infektia.net’s birthday was was on July 25. Infektia.net is now 5 years old! Hurray!

Gitsie by yukittie

I have to admit that I for the first time, in a veeery long time, feel really great! I’ve been hanging out with friends quite a lot. Before I only used to see them every three months or so. I’ve been taking care of myself, work and my home just like I want to, and, I haven’t felt lite crap for some time. I still have that annoying sound in my head from time to time, but I have been training to just relax and try to forget it.

The only thing I can really can complain about is that I haven’t exercised as much as I wished and my eating habits could be better. But I have ordered two new bathing suits that I hope will arrive next week so I can start swimming again. I did quit my gym/swimming-membership a month a go, but now I don’t have to push myself to go there so I can get value for my money. I won’t loose much by paying for each time instead.

But yeah, I’m working on it so it feels good!

So when I can’t sleep I do all these things I didn’t have the energy to do during the day, such as do the dishes. Tonight I found a brand new headset (yay!) in a box filled with crap and then I washed all my makeup brushes (about time).

Right now I’m going to watch 5 Centimeters Per Second (see the trailer below). Anyone seen it?

Before we went to the museum we ordered food at McDonalds at Copenhagen station, and let me tell you this – it was the most nasty McDonalds food I have ever eaten. The fries were extremely dry (my guess – a couple of days old) and Maia’s burger were cold and looked very nasty. We didn’t notice until after we ordered that the whole place was extremely disgusting. A total waste. So a tip if you are going to Copenhagen, don’t eat at McDonald’s when you are at the Copenhagen train station!

After the museum we went to the restaurant we ate at last time, Mama Rosa. It was delicious (and expensive) this time as well. Overall it was a really nice day! I had fun!
