This Isn’t That Hard

Hello again, who ever (or is it whomever?) you are reading this. If you’ve been following along for a while, you can tell I’m struggling to write the correct things recently. I keep missing days or having throw away posts. It’s nothing for me to be ashamed of and I know that. This is my project. I did better this month than the last two which is an accomplishment. 

But today I thought I’d walk you through one of what I call the “stuffs”; the things that keep me preoccupied. Recently I have been internally panicking about a new medication I was placed on. My stupid self looked up the side effects and now I’m just petrified. I’m
Working hard to lose my 25 pounds (I could be working harder I will admit that) and to think that I could lose all my progress and it isn’t even my fault? It’s brought me to tears multiple times. Like sobbing, shaking tears. And then to think that I could become severely depressed, because of something that is supposed to help with something else, in my line of work is also so disheartening. My peppy, happy attitude it what makes me a good therapist especially in residential. 

I can’t lose these things. I can’t slide backwards if I didn’t do anything to deserve it. And I’m just so scared  by it. It takes up so much head space, especially this last week. I wasn’t much of a worrier in general and then recently I have become one. About lots of things. I’ve been trying to let a lot of it go. Breathing, reassuring my self, setting small goals, ect. It helps! And then there are moments where obsessive circles begin to curb and race through my head about various things. 

Sometimes I don’t want to post because I’m tired (because I didn’t sleep well or because my life is too hectic, depends on the day). Other times I’m just too busy. And then there are times when I just don’t want to face what I need to post about...

Today wasn’t bad aside from this little end piece. Talked about AIW, tried to watch my eating, went to the gym, played video games, and treated myself to
Moes with boyfriend. 

Tomorrow I will dance and jump around to German music and then maybe go to the movies at night.

In the beginning...

I started a project. It came to me one day while I was looking over all the things I needed to accomplish. Go to the gym. Eat better. Organize. Look at the car.  The list was becoming endless. I thought back to some other times when I felt like I had to juggle a ton of things and writing as something that was there to help.  I turn 25 this year. Apparently this is a big deal? Something about a quarter of a century? Becoming mature? It's going to happen; going to happen very soon actually (like as I post this). So let me introduce you, whoever that might be, to Twenty Five for Twenty Six.  Here I'm going to attempt to complete 25 goals by the time I turn 26. I have a year. One full year; 365 days to complete a set of tasks. Have I completely decide what those twenty five things are? No. I'm going to give myself a little time to figure those out. I know I need to work on losing 25 pounds but the rest of the goals are kind of up in the air!  I also want ...

These Are Not Joanna Eggs!

If you don't know who Joanna is, please see above. She's a Goanna (reptilian creature who crawls on all fours and eat eggs and things) who is a minor character in "The Rescuers Down Under."  The reason she is featured in today's post is because the theme song for that Disney movie has been playing all day at work as part of the fountain show. I heard it mid afternoon and immediately recognized it. I even said to myself "Well now I have to watch The Rescuers Down Under." And here I am doing just that as we wind down for the night.  Water intake was good today and food was decent. So far breakfast has been the low calorie density meal and based on the scale, I have lost three more pounds. But we shall see. Tomorrow is supposed to be a WellDressedWednesday.

Goosebumps

I am all over the place for sure today (the last few days really). Between worrying about things that I have no business worrying about, trying to complete my goals, work, and general adult skills I feel defeated. I’m struggling to find inspiration and motivation to be consistent. I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I find myself exhausted the moment I get home (because my Job is exhausting and so is being at home). I look around my apartment and it’s a disaster (even for me it’s bad) and yet I have no energy to fix it. I can’t focus on anything for very long, I’m getting headaches and joint pain again (I was like this all through out high school). And yet I don’t feel nearly as stressed as I did as a teenager. I don’t understand it at all.  I’m sure that people who see me in person and then read here may be confused. I’m seemingly fine  most days. I’m good at masks. I feel the most authentic at work with my clients. Useful, mostly happy, and capable. I’m good at my job. Why ...
