Hey everyone, thank you for your support.

I was having a hard time last week, and spent two days lethargic or inert instead of doing homework. I think it was work that got to me, I went to a trade show and my boss really likes to fluff up the truth and over-exaggerate, which might be his thing as a salesman. I feel a lot of pressure and responsibility through to represent his business well for how small it is and that it's just really getting started and the scope of work is changing significantly to the point where he has to run 2 companies to stay in business. My unofficially official title is 'Project Manager', I'm really just the person organizing the disastrous filing system. I was there with a coworker (and friend) with a lot of personal history and issues. He took the freedom to critique my method of socializing at the trade show, with nothing positive to say.

Anyway, I think that's what kicked it off. Yesterday I finally sat down and listened to a meditation audio, they really help me and I'm trying to get into the habit of listening to one or two every day as a method of self-care. After this post I'm probably going to put one on, sit back, and relax for a bit. I felt a lot better yesterday, and I had a second guided meditation helping someone practice for school because we're both learning under a similar degree to help people both psychologically and physically. That holistic thing and what not.

I ended up discovering more than I thought I would about myself, and I started to have the realization why school has been so hard on me the past several years. I was greatly empowered after that and it carried me for the rest of the night, it was a wonderful reprieve after 2 days of super-funk.

@Thunder Bow: Thank you so much, I really am trying to work on self-acceptance. Doing what I love sometimes gets a little jumbled up when my emotions are in a flux, but I'm working on spending more time with that as well. I really need to sit down and draw more!
