I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about this topic before, but I wanted to hit it again. I know that a lot of people struggle with this. My life is spent trying to manage pain. It dictates what I can do with myself, what my limitations are, and unfortunately my overall mental well-being. I have to [...]

Weaning off Toprol
After seeing my cardiologist a few weeks ago, I was still unsure about how I was going to proceed with the medication decision. Then one night last week, I forgot to take my pill - I couldn’t remember taking it, only that I had put it on my laptop, which then went on my lap. [...]
A new cure for insomnia
I went to a day-long training class yesterday called “Are you Ready to Succeed?” It was being taught by this guy who is a professor all around the world, and wrote a book about how to achieve personal & business success and happiness. Well, kind of. I was really excited to go to this because [...]
Mental health update
I had my last appointment with my therapist yesterday. I was coming to the end of my 20-appointment block which got approved by my insurance, and we realized that it had an end date of June 19th. So we talked about it and decided that I’ve made some pretty good progress with my issues, so [...]
One year ago today…
Exactly one year ago today, I found out that I was going to Torino for the Olympics. I was terrified and a little excited. I think back to how scared I was in preparation for going, and then once I got there, I did really well.Â
I went back last night and read the blog I kept [...]
Why don’t I remember how fun it is to go bowling?
Seriously. I went today with my peeps, and we had a lot of fun, including the kamikaze third game. Guess who won the kamikaze game? That’s right, I did, with a 177. Best score of the day - good times.Â
T & I briefly talked about joining a bowling league this fall, but kind of forgot [...]
Another rough evening
I’ve been kind of a mess for the last few weeks - ever since before Thanksgiving. My anxiety has been pretty bad, and I’m not sure what the problem is. Last night driving home from a dentist appointment, I started to have a total panic attack, and had to pull over to the side of [...]
Losing my mind
I’ve been having a problem with concentration and memory for awhile. It’s probably just a side effect of the depression and anxiety, but it’s really getting annoying. On Wednesday, I totally spaced out and forgot that I had an appointment with my cardiologist. I realized it at about 2:00 in the afternoon (appt was for [...]
I’m a slacker
I totally slacked on blogging this weekend. I had a lot to say, too. I went to see this fun band on Friday. Check them out if you get a chance. Lori rocks.Â
Saturday, I did round 2 of allergy testing. I have no food allergies to the 16 most common items. I also did prelimiary [...]
Back to the bad sleep
So here I am, I’ve been up since about 2:15. I’m watching the Fresh Prince marathon on Nick @ Nite. Good times. Checking out my fantasy football scores - I lost in one league by one stupid point. I would have been in second place, one of the only people with a 3-0 record so [...]
