Your Energy

Worrying can be an exhausting habit, draining us of energy that could be used to build the life we truly want. When we focus on worrying, we give power to fear and doubt, keeping us stuck in a cycle of inaction and stress. But what if we redirected that same energy toward something more powerful—something that helps us thrive instead of just surviving?

✨ Instead of spending your energy worrying about what could go wrong, use that energy to believe in what’s possible. Create new opportunities, love fiercely, and allow yourself to grow. Every ounce of energy you use to believe in yourself, your dreams, and your capacity to change is energy well spent.

🌱 Today, choose to work on healing. Imagine the glow you’ll feel when your energy is focused on positivity, growth, and self-compassion. Let go of what you can’t control, and use your power to heal, evolve, and attract the life you deserve. 🌸 How will you redirect your energy today? Drop a comment and let’s inspire each other to believe and grow!

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about what to do if you want help with changing your negative thinking. If this sounds relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

#Diabetes sucks

My BG has been high since I woke up at 6am. Now it's over 400. I took my humalog. I'm gonna make a bottle of sugar free juice to flush out the sugar. I don't feel bad. My back and hips don't hurt and my tummy is calm. It's a good day otherwise. I scheduled a telehealth appointment with my psychiatrist for Friday this week.

My caregiver is a catgirl and her favorite color is purple and I'm an Aardwolf. Meta AI made this picture.

The Joy of Being

We live in a world that constantly pushes us to do more, achieve more, and want more. It's easy to get swept up in the fast pace of life, always thinking about what's next. But in the process, we often lose sight of the simple joys that come from just being—the moments of stillness where peace and contentment can be found.

In this rush, we forget that fulfillment isn't always about accomplishing more or having more. Sometimes, it's about stepping back, slowing down, and appreciating what's already around us. Less thinking, less striving, and more feeling present in the moment allows us to reconnect with the things that truly matter.

Today, I challenge you to pause and consider how you can let go of the rush and embrace the joy of just being. Share one way you're slowing down today and let’s inspire each other to find peace in the present.

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about what to do if you have difficulty practicing compassion for yourself. If this sounds relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

Good morning and coffee adventure time

I slept well last night. When I woke up my back and hips were really stiff and achy. I woke up my caregiver for a Norco. Then I was hungry so I ate 2 apple cinnamon rice cakes. The crunch is so satisfying.

Yesterday I got a can of instant cappuccino powder. It's toffee flavored. I made a bottle of it to go with my rice cakes. It's really yummy.

Tonight for dinner I'm making Mediterranean salmon, mashed potatoes and cheesy broccoli. I'm so excited for the broccoli. My caregiver has never had cheesy broccoli! It's so delicious. I hope she likes it.

My fasting BG was over 225. I took some humalog.

I've got cooking class today. We're gonna make lemon pepper tilapia. I'm so excited. I love fish.

Discouraged

I have been discouraged. We don’t seem to get a break. With my lupus and everything that comes with it. My husband has also joined the club no one wants to join. He now has thromboceptopenia with his diabetes and chronic pain. Everything is impacted from your finances to your relationship.

Morning...

I woke up with a migraine. I just took 2 Bayer back and body and one sumatriptan. I hope I caught it soon enough. I feel really dizzy. My fasting BG was 154 so I should probably eat something soon. I'm expecting a delivery from Instacart today. Lots of yummy veggies. I'm so excited. My caregiver has never had cheesy broccoli! I'm gonna make salmon with cheesy broccoli tonight.

Uck

I've got a ringworm infection again. It's worse than usual. It's oozing an orange goo. It burns. I messaged my doctor letting him know and I asked him which cream I should use. I've got a few tubes of cream here at home and I wasn't sure which one to use. He said it's betamethasone clotrimazole. I've got a few of them. I'll get my caregiver to put it on my booboo when she wakes up.

My BG spiked after I ate breakfast. It's almost 300.

BG #Diabetes

My morning BG was 134. It's been normal since last night. But I feel like swamp mud. I'm dizzy and lightheaded. I'm gonna try to eat something soon.
