Coping: a short story in two parts - Recently I received some sobering medical news. I was also put on a new medication, a third antidepressant. This one is different from the other two. Those are SSRI-type. The new one is tricyclic, which I’m still figuring out. It is intended to ease my severe IBS. Either way, for me it comes with roughly two weeks of unstable emotions, the constant taste of metal in my mouth, and an uptick in the intrusive and unpleasant thoughts. It’s often difficult to remember that this is temporary and will pass. Today was rough. So, I grabbed my paddle, stuffed the kayak in the car, and took some time to come back home, to myself. #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #selfcareisntselfish #fuckautoimmunediseases #iwillpersist #badass 1/2 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_IGbbA1C4TeOGiYzVyE4ggRvpWG5lPgxWiM80/?utm_medium=tumblr

When I put this shirt on this morning, I didn’t realize how significant it would be. I’m not really sure how to feel. New York’s primaries are in April, and I’m devastated I didn’t at least get to vote for her. But if @ElizabethWarren has taught me anything, it’s that I can’t let myself be knocked down or discouraged. I have to believe, as @ElizabethWarren said in her remarks “Our work continues, the fight goes on, and big dreams never die.” But I think I’m going to take a little bit of time to just be sad. #NeverthelessShePersisted #IWillPersist #WeWillPersist #Warren2020 #IDidntEvenGetAChanceToVoteForHer #VoteSandersIGuess (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XNzr7pKx8/?igshid=7pb7soy45meo

Pausing to think of what you have even in the midst of your challenges is very empowering and releasing. There is enormous power in gratitude. Try it! #highperformancehabits #livingyourdream #iampowerwoman #ilivealifeofgratitude #iwillpersist #IknowwhoIam https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZTYLwJ5p3/?igshid=lc2y1mf2qdv7

Letting go of disappointments, hurts. Fears, concerns, worries, and whatever it is that is holding you down is attaining freedom and attaining inner peace.
