I want to say first and foremost: I love my cohort and you all have made my life in these classes a bit easier. I'm sorry that yesterday was a bad day for me and I took it out on this page. One of my problems is I am almost honest to a fault. My husband told me today that I am very authentic. I didn't know what he meant until I thought about it.
Many people don't talk about their mental illnesses, even if they are minor or temporary. Many people aren't forthright about their past unless it was benign. Many people will lie about themselves to people who don't know any better. But not me. What you see is what you get. My family has had to adjust to it over the years. It took me a good long time to not lie about myself.
I do want you all to know that yesterday's post had nothing to do with my disorder. That is just me. AND, I calmed myself down and edited a lot before I posted. I also drank some stress tea, and did some mindfulness afterward which helped dramatically. (Dr. Yellow Bird, I think you've hit on something there!!)
I want to throw out a big THANK YOU to Kendra who has been my saving grace these past weeks. Marcia, Jenn, Angie, Bessie and Dr. H thanks too!!!
We will get this through this together. I just keep remembering this is only week 4!!
Hey, and remember we have a spring break around week 9!
