Well, I figured I should type out my week ahead and give an update since the last time I've written. First, I am now on my 3rd new mood stabilizer. The Topamax was no good, and then she had me on something else which I already forgot the name of, and now I am on… Continue reading Update and Week Ahead 09/06/22
Week Ahead – 08/29
Happy Monday morning everyone. Another busy week ahead. This week my homework assignment is a 10-point assignment. I haven't read the description yet so not sure what it entails. I'll scope it out after work today. Week 7 of this 12-week class, so we are on the back side of it now. I only have… Continue reading Week Ahead – 08/29
Bad Dream
I haven't written in a while but I woke up from such a bad dream I thought I should share it. So I've been waiting over a month to go back to my therapist to sort out some shit I've been going through. In my dream it was the day of the appointment and when… Continue reading Bad Dream
Representation
Over the last week, I have been overwhelmed with joy in all the LGBTQIA+ representation on television. Television is one of my favorite artistic mediums to indulge in. The new season of Locke & Key came out on Netflix this week. In this season, in a major series, they have a whole episode dedicated to… Continue reading Representation
Daily Writing – 08/10/22
Well, I survived my Tuesday yesterday. Work was about as stressful as I anticipated it would be. I did ok, minus towards the end of the day, I feel like I could have showed up a bit better. I didn't get a chance to swim yesterday due to a rainy day here in Florida. Today… Continue reading Daily Writing – 08/10/22
Week Ahead – 08/09/22
Today officially starts my workweek since I took yesterday off. I am hoping for a better week, however, I already feel stress sitting on me. I suppose that is because I woke up and started my day by watching the feedback video from my professor for my week 3 assignment and reading the feedback on… Continue reading Week Ahead – 08/09/22
TopaNope
So Topamax was an epic fail. Wow, my brain was a complete fog. My psychiatrist said a side effect could be forgetting words. After two days on the meds, I couldn't piece thoughts together at all. Being in school and the work I do, this is just not an option. This is a bit of… Continue reading TopaNope

Happy Friday Morning everyone! We made it through the week. Although I have a tough weekend of homework ahead. A very hard assignment this weekend. We are going to think positive though! I can do it! I started a new medication last night, Topamax, 25 mg twice a day to start. This is on top… Continue reading Daily Writing – 08/05/22
Morning Thoughts – 08/4/22
Grateful it is Thursday. It has been very stressful at work lately. Just lots to do, too much really, and in general not enough time to do it. I have a crazy-ass hard assignment that is due on Sunday. But then, every assignment, when you are going for your Ph.D., isn't particularly easy. I found… Continue reading Morning Thoughts – 08/4/22
Act As If
I woke up today feeling motivated. Motivated and hopeful that I am capable of accomplishing the things I want to accomplish. Motivated in the power of belief. The things I am studying right now in school are social psychology theories and interventions. The one I'm particularly interested in at the moment and am applying in… Continue reading Act As If
