I have been on-again-off-again ill for over two weeks now and it is not fun, especially since it's not an obvious cold or virus. I hope I am finally on my way out because I feel okay today. It was an odd mix of nausea (but never actually being sick), muscle aches and a pounding headache that would come and go on a daily basis, and I think they were all separate. Still had achiness until I finally ate some red meat yesterday so I think I've neglected to keep up on a protein my body is really used to. And my headache faded today when I got a soda for lunch...maybe I was in caffeine withdrawals by trying to be healthy and drink gator aid and stay away from energy drinks that had become a staple in my diet. The nausea has faded, but I think the reason I had it was that I've been holding on to a lot of stress lately.
In supervision today I let loose with all my apprehension about being a therapist and with my supervisor we kinda came to the awareness that I am dealing with some identity issues between all this family chaos, friend drama and work being all over the place too. And add to that that I'm realizing that I barreled through school without finding out if I really do like the standard 50 min therapy session or not. I just want to feel better and stay that way...
