I'm just wading my through another difficult book. It's school-days for me and I like it, sort of. The social aspect of it is good. I'm meeting people outside of the mental health field and it feels right, though intellectuals can be a little boring at times. Still, what did I expect- it's university and after a 30 year absence, I'm back at it.
I have a kind of nagging fear that I won't make it, you know, that I can't do it. Still, all I can do is try, and since I have certain allowances made for me in my classes, I should be able to pull through.
I've thought about getting a volunteer job to fill some free time. It's a toss-up between the Red Cross or Literacy Nanaimo and I'm leaning toward the former. Something fairly mindless like answering phones, if you please.
I don't know if I'll go on with school. I'm already feeling undue stress and added anxiety. And if I take extra meds before class, I nearly pass-out during discussion. If I don't, I'm too high-wired to get through it. Now that the days are getting shorter I'll need some fine tuning from my psych. doc to balance things out.
That's what my Dad said- "balance". I can't believe it's been almost 4 years since he died. If he could see me now, he'd be so proud. I'll keep that thought.
Peace
Don


Hi Don,
It's nice to see that you are in school. I admire that. I never went to college.
I'm sure your dad would be proud of you.
Volunteering is a great way to give back. I love quotes and use them in my everday life. I found this one for you. "No one has ever become poor by giving."-Anne Frank
Take care and take it easy.
