"Grounding" Entry for Groundhog Day

If you've ever been in therapy or done anything self-help related, you may have heard of this thing called a "grounding exercise". It's something you do just to get your bearings and stay calm in the midst of a crisis or panic attack. See here. Well, I'm grounding myself, and on Groundhog Day, too. Who knew? ;) Oh, and if you didn't already know, we're in for a lonnnnnnngggggg Winter, just in case you're wondering.

I took a break from school until next month, in the beginning of March.

There. I said it.

Luckily, my online school was understanding when I called in and said that I needed some time off. Cool beans. Well, I guess it's a bit easier when you're not actually on a campus, lol. At least I didn't have to go through any forms or anything like that, thank God. I needed this break.

I also had to change medication. Again. Grrrrr......

On the bright side, I'm sending out Valentines! Yay! It feels good knowing that I'm sending them to people I care about, and who actually want them, as opposed to just giving them out to everyone in a classroom. That's awkward as hell.

Okay, so it sucks that I had to take a break from school (in my FINAL class) and that I'm changing medication. But I will live. And I am okay. Always.

Peace always,
