Just an update
So, it has been a relatively long time since I last posted. I apologize for that. I have been busy adjusting to actually going to an office now. My body is adjusting more like it. Lol
So, I have officially been at my new job for 1 month now. You asked me to give you some positive benefits of going back I to the public so that you would feel more at ease about my decision. At the time, I couldn't be complete in what those positive things would be, but now, I have some more in-depth, concrete reasons to share with you. Since I have started working away from home, I have been more physically active than I was the past year and half because I was always at home. I have reduced my smoking as well. Only side effect for now is increased RA side effects, but manageable. I am gaining invaluable therapeutic experience by diversifying my choice in populations. I feel challenged and motivated again in my work. I am in a current work environment that encourages each other to support and help one another and work together as a team rather than being cliche or making you feel like you don't belong or are respected as a colleague. I have a supervisor who is very approachable and actually acts like she gives a fuck about more than just the bottom line and gives a fuck about her employees. I can actually communicate with her and not feel like I am drowning in a pool of anxiety because she is my supervisor. I am finding my purpose again and feeling a sense of accomplishment in my professional journey. It has also made a tremendous impact on my mental health as well and personal life. It has given me back a sense of control to provide a home and safe place for me and Skyler, but not be dependent on my brother to have that. I can start paying my brother back for everything he has done for me. My sense of self worth has skyrocketed. My depression has become more manageable, still there, but I will be looking into getting back on my medication. But I feel like I am alive and living more in the present and current moment than I was a month ago. I am putting myself back out there emotionally and reconnecting to others instead of isolating myself. Conclusion: This past month of change and the differences it has made in both my professional and personal life makes it very worth the risk of COVID.
I hope you know I am taking all recommended requirements and safety precautions to stay well. I am in such a healthier place (with a lot of room for growth) than where I was and have been for the past year and half or more. I love you for looking out for me and caring about me the way you do. That means the world to me. Thank you for all of your support even though you were concerned.
Love Lacy
