Sorry I haven't posted in awhile >_< I've been busy with final projects and final exams. However, I shall be on more often now :D
I will be posting about my exercise and eating regimen for the next couple of months. I'm trying to be healthier and have more energy. I know I have been eating poorly lately so I will not post that xD
However, next Sunday I will be posting my current weight and whether or not I have lost/gained weight.
Also, since we have last spoken I've been seeing a counselor. She has been helping me manage my stress and depression. I have to say I'm feeling fantastic. Thanks to her I made it through this semester. I was on the verge of quitting but she gave me the extra push I needed. I would also like to thank my teachers who didn't give up on me.
Most of you don't know but I'm usually the extremely independent type who never asks for help. I'm the one usually helping others and giving advice. I was raised to never ask for help and to be strong and persevere. I was also raised to believe that only "crazy" people seek counseling/therapy. I don't know if all black families are like this but that is how I was raised. Even though I've felt that I needed a therapist for awhile I never sought one out because I believed that if I went I was weak. However, you'd be surprised how just talking about your problems calms and helps you see things you wouldn't have normally saw. My mind is now at peace.
Moral of the story: Don't give up and Don't be afraid to ask for help.
