After having a really rough week last week, I can finally say I made it. I didn't give in to negative thoughts. I talked to my boyfriend, got the reassurance that he would love me no matter what, and that he was there for me. And I found the motivation to continue making healthy choices ( Read more... )

In my heart, I know I see us together forever. I want to be with Jesse, I want to marry him, raise a family with him, grow old with him. But somewhere else (not my head, my gut?), I keep thinking we've hit a dead end. I know the reasons...we haven't spent any time together lately, we're both stressed the hell out, we've been sick...basically not a ( Read more... )

I really need to get my thinking back on track. Last week was beyond difficult, ended up in the ER for pain Saturday morning. All semester so far has been sick>recovery>sick>recovery>pain+sick>pain>sick>recovery but I'm finally feeling better today. It's sunny, the snow is melting, I have my window open.

And now that I'm living on campus (only an hour away, so I'm still home a lot), that balance is thrown ( Read more... )

This morning brought an exercise in relaxation in yoga. I'm not a visual thinker (some people think in words, others in pictures; I'm the first), so these things tend to frustrate me because it's always phrased "picture yourself relaxed" or "see yourself doing...." but today she said "imagine being relaxed" so I was able to think phrases that ( Read more... )

Last week I was admittedly a bit of a drama queen. I was worried that with my roommate moving out I'd have no way to prove that I was normal and functioning, and therefore no reason to keep myself that way. This week, I've adjusted and I feel actually very calm and...intellectual I guess you could say. I find myself able to look at what I need to ( Read more... )
