Things are looking up
Yesterday was a bad day. Well, the first part of yesterday was a bad day, until TC gave me a priesthood blessing. What a miracle the priesthood is! That blessing was like a humongous Prozac for my spirits. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. My situation is not going to change just yet, however the load will be made lighter. And it already has. Thank you, expansive void, for listening to my woes.

Cool experience. I've never been called the "expansive void" before, but it seems to fit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me how important the priesthood is and how I need to humble myself and ask for help sometimes.
ReplyDeletePoor Sweetie, I'm glad you got the help you needed! And hip hip hurray for spiritual Prozac!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the anxiety is a sign that it's time to look for a new job. Isn't it funny how we sometimes hesitate to ask the Lord for help because we are afraid of the answer? Thank goodness for Priesthood blessings - they're free, you don't need a prescription and you can't get addicted to them.
ReplyDeleteSorry to talk about me in my comment but I went through the anxiety thing starting last April. I took medicine but eventually stopped--didn't work for me and I personally think I used it as an emotional crutch (not that it's that way for everyone). However, I see this great counselor and it is seriously the most wonderful thing to be able to unload to a 3rd party and have them not judge at all and totally validate my feelings and challenges. My husband does the best he can but he doesn't always know what to say to me. Anyways, a tool my counselor taught me that has helped a lot is so simple. . .write stuff down when you're feeling anxious or down or whatever. It has helped me identify the sources of my anxiety so much faster than just mulling them over in my mind. Anyways, long story short, I feel sooo much better and can now see so many blessings as a result of the last several months.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your spirits are up and your burden lightened.
ReplyDeletethanks for your compliment. I feel the same way.
I'm glad you're feeling better. I can totally relate--I was soooo ready to not be at my job anymore long before I finally got to leave. Not that there was anything wrong with the job or my coworkers really, I was just done. But the money was good and I didn't have prospects for something better, so I stayed. My answer came in the form of a baby, but your answer could be one of a billion things. You'll find it. I know you will.
ReplyDeleteThat TC, he's a good egg.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you all for your comments. What an incredibly supportive and helpful bunch I have as readers. Thank you! Kim, thank you for sharing your personal experience. Heidi, you understand in a way that no one else could having been here. I can't express enough how much I appreciate all of your support. I've been thinking about what you all have had to say, along with the blessing, and further inspiration that has come, and every bit helps. And things are still looking up.
