Sometime the simplest concept is the most difficult to practice. Today my best friend, shared an album with me that I immediately dismissed. Its message is one of positivity, and just that being okay. At first I had this preconceived notion, judged the material, the album. When I settled into the beat a little more … Continue reading Everything is going to be okay
I received a grade for one of my classes, the Group Psychotherapy class. We recently had a midterm exam, one that took me almost the complete amount of time, 4 hours allotted total to take it. I took 231 minutes out of 240 minutes. I wrote 2,737 words during those 231 minutes. This class in … Continue reading The results are in…

I am in a better place overall, the sleep still lighter average 6 hours, in addition to some day time napping. The anxiety is nearly non existent … Continue reading Off to work I go

I take my sleeping med and get into bed around 9/30pm. Like clockwork I am awake by 2am, naturally. I am working so … Continue reading The power inside
Lately I have been hitting the gym regularly around 4-5 days a week, at least 30-45 minutes of lifting and 3 times a week incline walk and short sprints on the treadmill. I have not lost as much weight as I’d like to, but I am making progress. My clothes are starting to fit better, … Continue reading SGs progress update 3.12.23
So here we are, January 2nd, 2023. I have made a shitty effort the past 6 months to get myself back in fighting shape.
