So I’ve been wanting to create a blog dedicated to my mental health journey. I feel like this would be the right spot to do so. I’ll try uploading a blog post at least once a week… It shall help me reflect upon my state of mind and keep track of my progress.
Some basic info on where I’m at…
Medication I’m currently taking…
Lexapro: 10 Mg
Methylphendate CD: 40 MG
Current state of mind…
I’ve been feeling really good about myself lately! Nothing negative.
What I need to work on…
Not giving into old coping habits. I still have a tiny bit of anxiety I need to work on. But that’s okay. It will all come in time. There is no need to stress myself out over something that will come naturally with practice.
What I’m looking forward to for this week and beyond…
I cannot wait for New Years! Its the first year I’m genuinely looking forward to it and having plans for once makes a huge difference.
I’m looking forward to starting school next week. At first I was extremely nervous because my past experiences with college have ended in failure. Now at the age of 22 and being properly medicated, the world is my oyster and I know I will kick ass at whatever I do. I have big dreams and big aspirations. There’s nothing I can’t do. I have access to all that I could ever need right now to help me get along.
Goals for this week…
Call the school to talk about how I can go about requiring my BSN and then go forth with my CRNA. Get school supplies. And obviously, start blogging more.
Overall thoughts right now for today…
I’m pleased with how far I’ve come since the beginning of 2018. I was an absolute mess. The future was very uncertain… but it shows that with time and patience, life gets better. Life will never be perfect. Which is completely okay with me. As long as I can try and be the best me at the end of the day, I think I’ve done what I can.
