Recover

I'm in the middle of an anxious period.(covid, friend passed and dog passed)  Does it take time to recover from these periods? And what do you do to make things easier.

Even with a bottle of whiskey and the finest drugs big pharma has to offer, it takes time to recover from losses of this magnitude. That is more than a shoe heel you just lost. My first step toward recovery is accepting that it takes time *to* recover while simultaneously leaning on my support network in the process.

Gentle support while you find your way through your own unique case.

Writing it out in a journal private is important to express all those feelings and cherishing the special moments that give you hope.

Grieving is a process of stages and some stages take a while to wander through, and you can experience each stage more than once.

Having several life-changing events happen near each other means that you'll often have waves of thoughts, and moments of thoughts, and this is part of the healing.

Best wishes as you find your new balance through all these losses.

Be patient with yourself. You will need time to cope. Just know, that you will recover and all will be well. Write in your journal, go for walks, meditate and/or try yoga. Sending you love and support.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
