Moving Forward

Hey guys! I am excited to start writing on my blog a lot more often. I recently changed the website name.

My life has taken a huge turn since I last wrote a post. I have a wonderful, amazing and humorous boyfriend whom I love beyond imagination. 

I started volunteering at various different organizations across the country as well as close to home (both virtually and physically). One of them is based in Washington DC and aims to end domestic violence.

Currently I am almost done applying to grad schools across the country. I am taking multiple courses for free online, both to expand my knowledge and review things I learned when I got my BS and MS. I am really enjoying an Entrepreneurship course.

Lastly, I was hospitalized around Thanksgiving time due to "stinkin' thinkin.'" The doctor/psychiatrist took me off of 3 medications and I am only taking 6 pills a day rather than 13 or 14 a day. My memory is coming back and I am much more alert and busy.

In the last month or so, I have really accepted my illness on a level I've never accepted it before. I realize that I may always have paranoia. It's not so much aiming at trying to get rid of it, but more about trying to deal with it. The more I try to get rid of it, the more it lingers. My flashbacks have decreased in a great way.

Not everything is perfect but things are moving forward. Thank you to all those who prayed for me and have supported me. I love you all and I hope to hear from you soon.
