Thinking About Things; Yes, It’s A Scary Thought

Good Afternoon, World!!! I have been thinking about things and yes, I know that is a scary thought. I have been thinking about ways to improve myself and become a better person. There are many ways a person can improve themselves and I will do my best to use what I have to do that.

One of the ways, I am planning on improving myself is doing math. Yes, I said math. The reason why math is because I barely passed basic math in high school and that was decades ago. I just want to relearn what I forgot and learn what wasn’t taught to me. I know it may seem odd for me to relearn what I forgot and learn what I was not taught but I don’t care if others find it odd as math is something we need in our daily lives.

Another way I plan on improving myself is learning Spanish. I plan on learning Spanish through Duolingo and possibly a workbook. I have people in my life that I can practice with which is a really good thing to make sure I am speaking Spanish correctly. It is always a good thing to know how to speak another language other than your native language.

As far as self-improvement goes this is an easy choice for me to choose. Of course, I am continue going to therapy and do daily mindfulness meditation practice. I will also continue to do recovery related workbooks to help build on my coping skills as well as help build on my resiliency as a part of my recovery. For me doing working on workbooks helps me stay in recovery mode as well as helps in between sessions with my therapist.

Missing My Mom & Dad

Good Afternoon, World!!! Right now, I am really missing my parents. Yesterday marked three months since my mom died and tomorrow marks one month since my dad’s death. Losing both parents is extremely challenging especially when their deaths are so close to each other. Losing both parents so close to each other has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Emotions that I really do not want to deal with and if I do not acknowledge them then the rollercoaster ride just gets worse, so I am acknowledging that I am not liking my emotions at the moment. I just wish my parents were both still alive and accepting the fact that this my new reality is hard. I just hope they both knew how much I loved them.

Finally Got Sleep

Good Morning, World!!! It is 10:09 in the morning here in Seattle and it is a beautiful sunny day outside. I also finally got some much-needed sleep which is something I needed since I will be doing volunteer shift with Alley Cat Project and PAWS Cat City.

Oh, how I love to be able to give of my time to nonprofit organizations especially ones that help cats. I really enjoy giving my time especially when it comes to helping cats as I am a huge cat lover. I also love that my volunteer positions at Alley Cat Project and PAWS Cat City are completely different yet gives me a similar skill set for future volunteer jobs as well as future paid employment.

Speaking of employment, I had a job interview this past Tuesday which I thought did not go so very well. It apparently went better than expected as I received an email yesterday asking for references. I take being asked for references after a job interview as a good sign and I really hope it is a good sign. I really would like this job.

Still No Sleep for Me

Good Morning, World!!! It is five forty in the morning here in Seattle and I still have not slept which royally sucks. I really wish I could sleep. Sleep is important to a person’s physical health as well as a person’s mental health and hope I get some sleep, so it does not start affecting my health or wellbeing.

Not only am dealing with no sleep due to insomnia and PTSD, but I am also dealing with some depression symptoms. Just like I mentioned in my last post I have been working on some workbooks to help me with the symptoms of my mental health challenges. Learning new coping skills and building on the coping skills that I have learned throughout the years in my recovery only helps me even more in my recovery journey. As tired as I am, I am grateful that I have the time to learn new coping skills through the recovery related workbooks that I am doing.

PTSD + Insomnia = No Sleep

Good Morning, World!!! It is two thirty-four in the morning here in Seattle. I am sadly unable to sleep. I am unable to due to PTSD and insomnia which sucks but it is something that I have dealt with in the past. As much as it sucks, I am also realizing that I am fighting some depression symptoms which makes the no sleep thing with PTSD and insomnia suckier than it should be.

Since I am dealing with little sleep due to insomnia and PTSD as well as dealing with increased depression symptoms, I have decided to do some recovery related workbooks. Workbooks that are helping me learn new skills as well as helping me build more resiliency in my life. I am glad that I do workbooks to help myself with my recovery as the skills I learn helps build on what I have already learned in my recovery. For me my recovery is one of the most important things in my life.
