I actually went to a counselor at school a couple days ago. She was nice and easy to talk to. She told me not to beat up on myself so much. To combat this, she said I should write down on a piece of paper five postive or neutral (NOT negative) things about myself or the state of my life. When I am in a depressive spiral I am supposed to get out this piece of paper and read the statements. I told her that sounded silly and started laughing in her office. She said it IS silly, but it helps to visualize the statements and she pointed out that it made me laugh just to think about how dorky it sounds. True.
I also need to learn how to get used to the overwhelmed feeling I have all the time. It is just going to be a fact of life for a while. I cannot worry about trying to get everything done because it is not physically possible. Well, I hope I can make this work.
Okay, Jeremy's family is here this weekend and we are going out right shortly. His first Aviators game is tomorrow night. Tomorrow is also the MCC sale in Hutchinson. I'm running the 5K and afterwards I will load up on German food.
