Wellness Wednesday – 10/2/2024
It’s been a while since I last did a Wellness Wednesday post, so I thought I’d give a bit of an update. I’ve been on Zoloft (Sertraline) for a year and a half. I visit with the prescribing psychiatrist virtually every 3 months for a new refill. I haven’t seen a therapist in over a…

Wellness Wednesday (10/18/2023)
It’s Wednesday again! Time to check in with myself. Monday I had an appointment with the doctor that prescribes my Zoloft. I told her that I really feel like the medicine is helping a lot. I explained that several difficult things have happened the last few months, but I’ve handled them pretty well. I pointed…

Wellness Wednesday (5/10/2023)
Therapy today. I have felt lately that I haven’t been getting a lot out of therapy and that it’s just another box I tick off each week. I have no idea going in what I will talk about and as I pull up random things, sometimes a nugget or two emerges. But for the most…

Still Struggling
I mentioned having a lot of anxiety following the publication of the anthology. I’m still struggling. I think I’m mostly anxious that now that I’ve published something that means I should officially be an author, which equals writing. But I can’t seem to write. At least, not much. I signed up for Story A Day…

Wellness Wednesday (3/15/23)
I did not have therapy today. I did not have therapy last week and I won’t have therapy next week. It isn’t ideal. Last week I was out of town with my daughter. Next week I will be out of town with my husband. Today my therapist had a funeral to attend and the times…

Wellness Wednesday (02/22/2023)
It’s been a rough week. First off, I found out that I am, indeed, paranoid. The IUD is in place, according to the ultrasound. Though the PA that shared this with me left out the part in the report about it “abutting” a fibroid. Apparently that’s insignificant. Following that news I’ve continued on a downward…

Wellness Wednesday (02/15/2023)
Today has been a busy day. It started with a sonogram appointment to check the placement of that darn IUD I regret getting. On Monday I checked the strings (which no one told me to do, but all of those websites that my husband didn’t want me visiting recommended doing) and they were much longer…

Therapeutic Thursday (6/30/22)
It’s been quite awhile since I last did a Therapeutic Thursday post. Not because I haven’t gone to therapy, but because I’ve been going in person, which makes it difficult to immediately work on a post. And after I’m home the moment/processing is done. It’s a 20 minute drive. I decided to give it a…

Therapeutic Thursday – 5/5/22
I didn’t have therapy last week, since I went on my daughter’s field trip, so today we had two weeks to process. I went in feeling pretty good about myself and the progress I’ve made in recognizing cognitive distortions and my own need to give myself permission to recover from socializing. But somehow, my therapist…

Therapeutic Thursday (4/7/22)
Amazing. With as many bad things that happened in the two weeks since my last session, I was expecting to go through a ton of tissues. I used exactly one. And I think it’s all because of this blog. Not that it exists or that people are reading it, but because when everything was hitting…
