I Am Working On Myself

If I had to have something printed on my forehead it would probably say "under development" as it seems this is always the case. Maybe I'll be ready for action by the time we have flying cars buzzing around in the sky. Anyway, I've been working on myself for many years as I've had no choice but to stop and put my life on hold more often than not in order to nurse my afflictions. Right now I've got to the point where I'm in a position to take things further and advance some more, hopefully getting close to that elusive goal.

I've made referrals to see a couple of professionals with regards to my mental health, away from Psychiatry, and I'm also taking the time to help out with starting back up a peer support group so that I can look to help others while I'm helping myself. I find that kind of environment beneficial to all involved, as it's possible to bounce ideas and what not off of one another and build a therapeutic environment based on mutual trust and understanding. I also have a friend who's interested in joining a local gym, so I've expressed an interest in joining him with hope that we can keep each other motivated enough to keep up going, as that has been the downfall for us both with it in the past.

Half the battle is keeping optimistic that change for the better is possible and to have the courage to persevere when things seem bleak. As long as I keep trying, eventually I'll do what I need to to have a rewarding and fulfilling life.
