Revival?
I've been writing things to myself recently. I don't know why. I've never liked writing, but this time I just felt like writing. Maybe I just need to record what's going on in my life. Then I remembered that I have this thing I haven't used for years. Why not start it back up?
I last updated this almost two years ago. It's amazing what can happen over two years. I'll give an abridged time line of the past two years for personal reference.
2007
Jan- Went home to Dad in SLC. A doctor attempted to give me medication for my agoraphobia/panic attacks.
Feb- Returned to VA, lived with Grace; "engaged," but not really.
Apr- Mom came to VA from Germany. I became a dependent of my Step Dad who is in the Army. Better health care. Saw a doctor much more regularly. Therapy helped out a lot.
May to July- Living with Grace took a downward spiral. Only requiem was when I was out with my buddies.
Aug- Moved in with my Grandparents, much better than living at Grace's house. Finally found a great job at the library down the street from where they lived.
Sept- Realized I was in education limbo, I called Mom for advice. She suggests I go to Germany and take online classes and be there for support.
Oct- Arrive in Germany.
Nov- broke up with Grace
Dec- Enroll in online classes with the University of Maryland
2008
Mar- Got job as a substitute teacher
July- Medication readjusted, going well mentally, spiritually
Sept- Decided to go back to BYU in fall 2009
I've come a long way since having to leave BYU since getting sick. I'm a much stronger person because of the heavy trials I've overcome and grateful for it.
I'm sleepy. I'll write more later. Night 3 of sleeping without my prescribed sedative. :D I've been slowly weening myself off of it since it was making me sleep too much. Hopefully this goes well withdrawal free.
