Hello

Sorry I haven't posted in a week. I have really been concentrating on using the skills I am learning in my therapy. It truly is a whole new way of thinking about yourself, others, and the world. I have learned that so many of the "thoughts" I have in my head about what I should be are really just mistaken beliefs. I am slowly learning a new way to think of myself. I am not there yet and maybe will never be entirely, but I am working on it everyday. I am trying to "live in the moment" everyday. One thing that has been really hard for me is just to slow down and take my time doing things. Anything. I find that when I do, I pay more attention to the moment I am in. Anywho, thanks for listening.

  1. Hey Krista just got a chance to read all of this, I love that you are doing that you are doing this for yourself. I am sure it is great therapy for you to get it all out there. Sometimes I feel the same way. Krista you are a great mother and person, i hope you know that!

  3. It's the wonder of why we overwhelm ourselves! I do it everyday too. Trying to learn to slow down is difficult. I am also in that learning process right now of "living in the moment." And, just when I think I've made my "break through," I'll think of 10 other things I've not accomplished yet...and then I'm overwhelmed again...LOL...vicious cycle!

  4. Krista, just know that you are not ever alone with your depression or anxiety!! When we were in High School my grandma passed away and my parents had to have me admitted to the hospital for anorexia, depression, and then later was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder!! So, in some since i am able to relate with what you are dealing with on the daily!! I would give anything in the world right now to not be in the situation that I am in with my husband being sick... I cant do that though!! So once again I find myself wondering what my purpose in this world is and why did God choose us to go through this situation?? It is hard everyday to do what I am supposed to do but I find it somewhat easier with GOOD FRINEDS and knowing that there are people who really do care....even when I push them away they are still there!! Keep your chin up kid!! :) YOU ARE NOT ALONE....PROMISE!!

  5. Krista! I didn't know you had a blog. I finally sat down for some "me" time....which is next to never!!! I never in a million years would have imagined that you had these issues. You always seem so upbeat and happy....! I'm so happy that things are getting better for you! You truly are not alone! I think everyone at some point in there lives come to a point where they have to sit and analyze what is going on. Some people find it easier to just continue, but getting help and talking things out is so beneficial. Please know that by you having this blog and letting people know what's going on with you and your issues isnt' only helping you, but so many other people as well! Good Luck!
