Starts

After being discharged from the hospital on Monday, I have been starting or restarting various things in my life.

Things started:

1. Therapy
2. New med regimen
3. Strict bedtime routine

Things restarted:

1. Work (for the 3rd time in as many months). I am very blessed to have the team that I do; they proactively protected my job for me, and they didn’t have to.
2. My efforts to write the book.
3. Going to the temple regularly.

I resisted the hospital; I shouldn’t have. It gave me a good foundation to get back to myself. I’m not 100% there yet, but I am on the right path to get there. I’ve only had one therapy session so far, and the facilitator wasn’t a good fit, but we’ll see what happens on the other days of treatment. I already appreciate my new meds for mental health. My brain isn’t as much of a bully now.

Work is a work in progress. I feel good about being back and will slowly but surely get to a point of moving upward in my career. Both in my current role, and by writing my book and going back to school for an LPN or social work program.
