Online Free Class

I found a link to a site that let's you take free online classes. I was browsing what they had to see if I would want to take anything the weeks between my semesters and I found the class below. It's not about getting treatment and so forth, but it could be a good educational piece.

It looks like they have classes for about everything and they are free and you can get a certificate of completion as well for them.

One fumble and downhill I go

Very true.

I do have a therapist, she is the one who suggested I get tested to see if I needed to be on meds. I will hopefully be seeing her 2 or more times a month? I guess it will depend.

I am trying to make other changes, such as my diet. I want to lean towards healthy and part organic. I don't think I would be able to go completely organic since I can not control the food if I was to go out and eat. Tomorrow I am involved in a walk for blood cancers (in honor of my dad) and my friend is going to go with me to Whole Foods to do some shopping.

I really want to get the energy to go to the gym, because I do miss it and I miss going to my Zumba class, because my instructor is so amazing. I was able to walk yesterday during lunch and after work for like 10 or so minutes. I was able to walk today before my lunch/department meeting. I am going to try walk 20 minutes or so when I get home. Then the walk tomorrow is only 2 miles, so I think I will be fine.

My faith is important to me and I feel over the years I have wandered away and I am trying to get back into focus. I don't think I want to find a church around me, especially if I want to move, so maybe I can find a program to watch or something on Sundays.

While I wish there a quick fix, I know from experience there is none. I have 2 close friends and one recently went and sought help for issues and was put on meds. Our other friend I think does not always understand our issues, but she is still in college and while things are stressful for her at times, she is not where we two are.

I think part of me has to accept that this is where life is and I don't know what the future holds. I can wish all my might that I would win the lottery and be golden, but that is fairy tale and it takes time and determination to get where we want to go. We are going to stumble and have issues, but we can do it.

True it only hides it, but it would be nice to not worry about knowing where you want to live and being able to cruise all the time (in my case).

Blowing off steam

Walking helps me to either clear my head or get motivated, but it has felt like a choir sometimes.

I have felt anger before and it makes me wonder if I should join a boxing place or something.

How´s it going?

I had a decent day, I was able to walk during lunch and after work. My friend wanted to go a haunted house, we planned it a few weeks back. I sat here debating if I wanted to go and finally decided that I needed to. I made myself some tea and I went. I am glad I did, my friend understands some of my issues and I learned our other friend thought I had an eating disorder. Upsets me that she would think that, but I also know she doesn't understand that things are much more different then she realizes. She knows I have had issues, but she doesn't know what it feels like.

Tomorrow I am suppose to do a 2 mile walk for blood cancer and also go shopping at Whole Foods for organic snacks and all. I am hoping I am up to it.

Davit: I hope tomorrow is better for you.

How´s it going?

Davit that is a good decision, thought it is still horrible the reporter ran the story. I am surprised there was no waiver.

I've had a decent couple of days. Yesterday I went to a walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society and it was rough getting there. I really just wanted to be home and not doing anything, but after we started walking I was feeling slightly better.Before the walk we went to a store and I bought a bunch of organic stuff for myself to slowly add it to my diet. My goal is to go mainly organic, but I know I won't ever be able to go full organic.

Today I actually went to a church. It was my best friends parent's church. Next week my friend will go with me and then I plan to try one I went to back when I was in high school. I'm hoping to find a place I am comfortable.

How is everyone else doing today?

Thanks Love Trees.

I feel the small things can help. Yesterday during a charity walk, I was talking to my best friend who is on meds (I did not ask which one) and I was talking about how my appointment is next Saturday and I was not sure if I would be put on meds or not. I explained then how my therapy appointment is this Tuesday. She said maybe I should go to therapy and then was like, maybe not. I told her that meds can only do so much. A therapist can do a lot, sometimes you just need someone to talk to who is level headed. I'm hoping she will see someone. We have also learned that our 3 friend in our small group just does not understand our issues. The third friend was actually wondering if I had an eating disorder because I was not eating and it took my other friend trying to explain that it is deeper then that, but she does not feel as if she understood (which is amazing, considering she is about to graduate in December with a degree in biology).

But I am slowly starting to add the organic and natural food into my diet. I did walk a little over a mile and half today and I went to a local church. I am hoping to find a church I want to join in the next few months. I even took a day off work this week to go a job fair in hopes of finding a new career.

Samantha, yes, I have started the plan. I will be starting week 2 tomorrow. I like to feel this site and a combination of things are helping me.

Blowing off steam

Boxing is something I have been interested in or something related to martial arts. My gym is in a mall and I noticed inside the mall there is also a boxing place and I have always wondered if boxing can be beneficial as well. I have tried meditation and it can be hard. Clearing my mind is very very hard for some reason and I wish I knew.

I think walking is not for everything.

For example: some people can walk on a treadmill and feel great. I feel horrible. Some walk outside and hate it and love walking on a treadmill.

I do hope I will find something. Sometimes I miss my college and driving to some areas and having no cell phone reception. Nothing but a simple life.
