3/31/2016 2:21:06 AM | Hi Lady T, Thanks for asking about me! I have enjoyed our exchanges too. I'll will try to keep things brief so as to not hijack this thread on fear & anxiety but on that note, I found a free course here in Australia which is run online over 8 weeks for anxiety & depression so I have started doing this & am finding it is giving me some useful skills to practice. Maybe others will have a government initiative like this in their areas too. It's worth investigating. I still have not found a job but I must admit, the last month has been a bit challenging physically & mentally so I have not given 100% on my search... maybe 70% but I do have an interview next week which is great. I have decided to only work part time for a while as this will give me more of a chance to focus on getting well and whilst things will be tough financially, I think the reduced pressure of not needing to maintain appearances 5 days a week will do me some good. I also decided I want to work towards getting a degree and have started a course in Health Science majoring in Nutrition. This too will be done with a 'slow & steady' mentality but I am looking forward to starting it next week. I have the option to do it online if I struggle to make it in to class physically which is great. I am still having bad hair issues (hair loss & moving hair) but I think it may have slowed a little. I thought my skin was improving last week, which it definitely IS on my lower right leg (previously full of lesions for last 9 months) but this week I had a mass outbreak on my face (of all places) so I look like I have a serious case of chicken pox and have been hiding out at home. I am at least grateful I haven't had to make any appearances at work looking like this!! I have sat for hours at a time rubbing coconut oil into my face and extracting HUNDREDS of 'bits'... it was a non stop stream of them! I believe this has helped and I am hoping this is a final purge.. maybe :) (wishful thinking, I know). Other than these issues mentioned, I guess I could say things are going OK. I have enough energy to continue with yoga and have even managed a few ocean swims before summer finished. It was so good for my whole being to do that :) Again, thanks for checking in and I do hope you are doing well too. Gale xx |
