Last MMHCI for 2020
Posted By Kathleen David on December 28, 2020
One of the gifts I received this Christmas was from my long-time friend Mary Aileen. It a pin of a cartoon dumpster which is on fire and wearing a mask. That, to me, just about sums up 2020.
One can try to find the good within the year and there was some. Overall, however, this is not a year or type of year I ever want to repeat.
I will say that my mental health managed to stay on an even keel for the most part.
I give credit to my family and friends for a lot of it. I had people I could complain to and get things off my chest.
I also give credit to my therapist and medication. I know that medication has kept me even in trying times. There was a screw up and I was without my medication for two weeks. I definitely noticed a difference especially with a lack of consistent sleep.
Getting a job was very helpful for my mental health. It got parts of my brain going that had been a bit dormant. I like the challenges of it and my coworkers. It is a good situation that suits me.
I am frustrated with things I cannot do. But I know that this is only temporary.
I am proud of how I have gotten through this mess with my mental health pretty much intact.
I am grateful for everything that helped me keep an even keel this year.
