always as that's what life is all about learning & growing through everything you realize & come to understand that you can utilize your sorrowful tears that you cry by using them to water seeds for good thoughts to grow into good things which will flourish.......... as those tears will nourish & give life to things you never even knew existed before

Before I forget, my second post for this morning, and not that anyone is keeping track - but yes I haven't posted as much, simply because of my workload, my contract work, and I had applied for a couple of grants that I got and these involved culture, cultural pursuits - and I got really heavily mentally involved with the cultural projects.

Much love to all who are on this page. And, although this is my healing journey, feel free to share yourselves okay

Blessings to the residential school crisis line. I just couldn't get to sleep even listening to relaxing rain on YouTube. Being second bed and using a wheelchair to get around had me so much in my head. Realizing a lot of things about my life. And how I do things.

I do keep a little too busy also I'm home every evening.

I have accepted another job at ubc. And my work with the two health clinics filled my week. I thought Rick get my week would be great to keep me motivated and enthusiastic. To drive up TVC is quite long from East Van. Seem to add to my fatigue & my energy.

I let her know that I do work as a counselor, and how odd it was that we can share with people good things but when it comes to ourselves it's a different matter

I like that by saying that helped her to communicate with me more effectively. Even if it were just basic things like you have to give yourself permission to relax and rest give your body and mind a break. That your clients they've survived this long, they'll find a way to keep going. And gather sap can pick up the slack

I didn't realize that I had thought about that but I didn't think too much of it, not realizing that it impacted my body as well

Some feeling a nice bit of emotion, letting go of responsibility that I was hanging on to I guess without tangibly feeling it

And accepting that my health issues right now are my body's way of tell me to sit the f*** down, and cuz my mother you should tell me, you can't save the world you can't save everyone.

So I'm going to turn off my lamp turn off my phone and go to sleep in prayer and gratitude, for good reminders, for what I can do, and let go of what I don't need in my life right now. Good night good morning. ♥️

Hello all I'm just heading to sleep. I've been hit by a sort of a hellhole of Health issues. But as I lay here which is all I can really do, for now and in increments I'm getting stronger, not covid, not stroke, not heart, thank goodness, I realize my mental woes, like depression, chronic anxiety and the PTSD each have a hold on my innards.

How I noticed it was on the third night, and I just couldn't shut off my brain! I knew I was missing work everyone knew. But things just kept popping up and I got so desperate, I reached for you to find a relaxation tape thank goodness

I woke up really rested, immediately thought okay what day is today I wonder when my appointment is I'll check my Facebook I will check my email messages and my shoulders and my chest got tense. So I'm noticing my reaction to my thoughts. Instead of just thinking naturally about those things I felt a bit of stress

At least they're these are things I can work on.

I might try acupuncture for my shoulders to get them untense. PTSD comes from trauma that won't leave your body, comes from childhood then adult violence, and just being indigenous - but if I could just get my shoulders to relax that would be a good start

You know I had planned on finding a better therapist counselor, someone that will really make me work. But it feels like everyone tiptoes around me like they have to be careful with me or what I might say! Or some are kind of insecure.

I think I need someone strong.

I don't want to go into the last best use of my life still dealing with this s***.

But this health episode is helping me really look at my mind and my body that connection

Good night to all and to all a good night

It's crazy making, to have to deal with someone like this in a part of your life. Or someone that impacts someone that you dearly care about.
The biggest weapon is educating yourself
