I haven’t got any transformations to put up for Transformation Tuesday, which is a bummer! I nonetheless maintain considering it is Monday, though–holiday weekends at all times confuse me the next week. Immediately has been an extended and exhausting day. I simply obtained residence from cross nation observe and simply as I assumed, the youngsters have been very excited in regards to the enjoyable donations to our staff. After they ran at present (velocity and hills!) they did a six-legged race, which was so humorous. (I will put up extra about cross nation later this week.)
I do not bear in mind if I discussed this already, however I made a decision to begin going to remedy once more. I do know I maintain writing about feeling tremendous overwhelmed and I do not imply to sound cryptic; I used to be simply hit with a number of huge issues directly (just like the catastrophe in my rest room/bed room). That’s nonetheless shifting alongside, simply very slowly.
I fear about my dad loads as a result of his well being hasn’t been good. My mother went to my sister’s for a number of days and she or he’s normally the one which pushes my dad to go to the hospital or get exams finished or issues like that (my dad is cussed and would in all probability by no means have gone to a physician on his personal). Whereas she was gone, my dad obtained very faint a number of instances and he truly fell down 5 instances in three days. He hit his head a few instances, which is why my mother made him go to the ER when she obtained residence.
Fortunately, the CT scans have been superb; however it does not resolve his low blood stress inflicting him to really feel faint and fall. I do know precisely what he is speaking about when he describes it, as a result of it is the identical factor that occurred to me after I fainted and broke my jaw. I additionally fainted and hit my head a number of years in the past. I’ve low blood stress like my dad and I really feel faint steadily after I get up from a sitting or mendacity down place.
As if that wasn’t sufficient for him, when he went to the ER, he examined constructive for COVID, too! Anyway, I am at all times anxious about him now. He is obtained a number of well being points occurring directly and there actually is not an answer. He is bored with docs and exams and I do not blame him in any respect.
To jot down in regards to the different stuff I am coping with would invade others’ privateness so I am unable to write about it–and that is truly why I selected to discover a therapist. To high it off, my psychiatrist is retiring in December and I solely have another session with him. I actually like him so I hope he can suggest somebody that is a superb match for me.
Immediately was my first appointment with the brand new therapist and I am glad I made the choice to go. I will see her weekly for just a little bit after which each different week and/or as wanted. As you recognize, I am obsessed with psychological well being. I at all times inform folks that discovering a therapist is like dating–you might need to see a number of earlier than you discover one that you just click on with. Fortunately, I actually favored her (I will name her “A”) and I might prefer to maintain seeing her.
Whereas this put up comes off as a downer, I did not imply for it to–today was a extremely nice day. Higher than I’ve had in a very long time, actually–Jerry even talked about noticing it earlier than he left for work. And it will likely be even higher after I eat a number of the hash I made earlier than I left for observe! I am starving–you know, from watching youngsters run up and down a hill and yelling at them to maintain going 😉
I do know I have not been posting the every day “random reality” calendar tidbits, however at present’s was good for this put up:
There may be nothing incorrect with looking for assist for psychological well being, and I hope that by writing about it, there will probably be much less of a stigma and extra folks will really feel snug speaking overtly about it as properly. I at all times really feel susceptible when writing about it, however psychological well being/sickness is so necessary and I do not assume it is one thing folks ought to really feel ashamed of.
Okay, I’ll go warmth up some hash after which hit the hay 😉
