Taking care of myself

Yesterday I talked about my doctor visit and test results from earlier this week. I also came away with “orders” for a heart scan, mammogram, and bone scan.

February 2023 doctor

I had a doctor’s visit and bloodwork this week to refill my meds. I knew my blood sugar levels were way off. My blood sugars have been high, regardless of what I eat and that’s been rather frustrating. What surprised me was that my thyroid levels had gone way, way Read more…

Therapy in a Nutshell (YouTube channel)

I have found this great YouTube Channel called “Therapy in a Nutshell”. The lady that does them is a licensed counselor and she shares lots of great, practical information. I’ve watched several of her videos about overthinking (which I do a lot of, in case you weren’t aware lol). The Read more…

Last week, I set a goal for myself to get at least 7,000 steps a day on weekdays. I am happy to report that I met my goal Monday-Thursday. However, by Thursday evening, my heels (especially the left one) were hurting really bad. On Friday, I took it easy (and Read more…

My mental health

There are a few things I have noticed that really affect my mental health if I am not doing them. They are exercise/movement, writing, and reading. Doing any of the three things helps, but doing all three helps more than anything to keep me on an even keel. This made Read more…
