A brief reprieve

take another step

The past two or so days (or maybe it’s just been today) have been a bit easier to get though.  I haven’t had that sense of sadness and dread at the end of the day, and I’m so thankful for that.  I’m not sure those days are behind me, I’m still not on medication (because psychiatrists are always unavailable) but I have gone out of my [own] way to do a few things that proved to be helpful.

I followed through with going to the orthotics and prosthetics place yesterday to shadow.  I also got a haircut cause I wanted one gosh-darn-it.  I called my parents about my appointment with the orthopedic doc, and my mom will be here tomorrow to go with me.  And I’ve gone to all my classes.

One thing I’m actually excited about though is that one of my best friends from high school is coming to visit me this weekend!

So I’m learning, that no matter how bad things are (or seem), there will be better days.  And as long as you hold onto that, you’ll live to see them.
