TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 So we’re back to Jedi becomes a hero. And… Jedi is struggling. I recently went to a doctor who upped my antidepressants and wants to help me get healthy; mentally and physically. The experience with the doctor was absolutely amazing, but I have a very long way to go. I direly need therapy, and I haven’t been taking very good care of myself. Anyone who’s had a look at my food logs from the past couple of months could see that. I haven’t been eating enough, and I haven’t been eating decent foods. I’ve just… really been not having a good time recently. It’s been a struggle mentally and then coming back afterwards and taking care of myself physically just.. Hasn’t been happening. Some days I don’t even have the energy to feed myself. The way my friend/roommate describes it is that I haven’t been in a stable place to deal with a lot of what’s happened over the past couple of years, but now I am and I’m dealing with that as well as all of the new stuff (moving, house closing, money, etc). So of course my brain is having a nuclear meltdown right now. What else would it be doing? So I’m just going to focus on a few things that will help keep me as healthy as possible but in a low maintenance way. Daily Stretching I’d like to stretch every day; or at least 4-6 days a week. I haven’t had the energy to stretch recently and I’m starting to feel it in my joints and muscles. Everything is getting tight and it just hurts. I’m apparently too old to skip stretching for too long. Goal: 4-6x/week Daily Ankle PT/Stretches I haven’t been doing this either and my ankle is SUPER weak now. I tweak it every time I put my weight on it and move it at all pretty much. Hopefully over the next couple months once I get insurance I can get professional help, but right now I’m focusing on my mental health. In the mean time, these stretches keep my ankle mostly functional and I really need to prioritize them. Goal: 5-7x/week Eating More Fruits and Veggies I’ve been having the hardest time getting my food intake straight. So right now, while I’m following my doctor’s orders to make sure I eat at least three meals, I will also make sure I eat fruits or veggies with 2-3 meals a day. Or as a snack. Just in general I need to intake 2-3 fruit/veggie servings a day. Goal: 2-3x/day Unpacking/Cleaning More things I’ve been struggling with include moving myself mentally and physically into my new home. So I’ll be choosing a selection of cleaning and unpacking tasks each week with the intention of completing at least three. Goal: 3-4x/week Spending Time Outside As the weather gets better, I need to get more vitamin D and just get out of the house. My goal is to spend a cumulative hour outside each week. For each additional half hour I spent outside, I get another point. Going grocery shopping or regular shopping doesn’t count unless I’m actually outside (at the outdoor walking mall for example). Goal: 1 hr/week Find a Therapist I need to find a therapist and schedule an appointment. One way or another. I’m probably going to use a telehealth service like Cerebral or BetterHealth to find an online service and just get myself into mental health treatment. Goal: just do the thing. So here I am with another bare minimum baby challenge. Hopefully I can make this work okay and can get back on my feet. Whelp, plus ultra everyone! 3 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi Becomes A Hero Vol VII: Jedi Keeps Pushing Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56, #57, #58, #59, #60, Link to comment

I also got some fruit in me yesterday, which is a good step in the right direction, and even did my stretching! I've been feeling a lot better over the past couple of days, my body is finally starting to relax and my brain isn't misbehaving as much.

Week 1 Cleaning/Unpacking task Ideas - Unpacking Books into Shelves - Tidy Bedroom - Clean Bathroom - Sweep Garage - Unpack Tupperware - Deep Clean Sink So I added a task that I decided counted because the sink was in slightly rough shape. We have the WORST selection of fruit flies, but I think deep cleaning the sink and garbage disposal is going to help remove them. I'm two for two on stretching and my ankle exercises, which is pretty exciting as well. And got my three fruits/veggies in. So far this morning, my stomach is feeling a bit upset, so I'm just having an applesauce pouch for breakfast. I'll add something else when my stomach calms down. 2 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi Becomes A Hero Vol VII: Jedi Keeps Pushing Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56, #57, #58, #59, #60, Link to comment

TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted April 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Well this week went... wild. Tuesday evening I got a text saying that my house was closing on Thursday. We still had a couple of small things still there, so myself and my roommate drove 10 hours, took a nap, deep cleaned the house, packed it up, delivered a few items that needed to be removed from the property, and then left again. We ended up staying at a hotel Wednesday night because honestly, we didn't have much choice. We were dead. We finished the drive back yesterday. So I'm still exhausted and I had my first therapy appt this AM so I'm really not functional. Hopefully this weekend will be restful enough that i"ll feel better next week. 3 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi Becomes A Hero Vol VII: Jedi Keeps Pushing Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56, #57, #58, #59, #60, Link to comment

I was super super sick last week, almost ER sick. I can't tell you why yet, but just know that I know what's up and I'm taking steps to prevent really bad stuff. I'll tell you guys what's going on when I can. Just keep me in mind/prayers and stuff as you prefer ❤️ I'm going to keep doing my best and keep moving forward.
