I know it’s almost never Friday when I post these, so this week, it’s just Feelings. I’m feeling a ton at once, so no specific focus this week either. This post is about as scattered as my mind lately.

Somehow, another month has passed me by without posting on here – it’s not that I haven’t been writing, it just hasn’t been for the blog.

I’ve been writing a lot because I’ve been gearing up for school. It’s official – I start in January. I’m excited, scared, overwhelmed, nervous, and determined all at once. I know this is the best plan of action I’ve come up with in a long time, but still…

The unknown is always scary. Maybe even a little more so when you have a chronic illness. Throw an auto immune disease as unpredictable as MS into it, and you’ve got a big bag of the unforeseen thrown at you.

That can be startling, or it can be astounding. Or, a little of both. I’m down for the challenge regardless, but I won’t hesitate to tell y’all I’m nervous as shit. I have crazy high expectations for myself. I’ll have to lighten up, or I’ll send myself spiraling straight into a flare.

My anxiety has been at an all time high lately. I’m sure this is lending a hand to how nervous I feel. With school firmly set, a lot of other things are up in the air. Attempting to keep my head on straight while evaluating all of my options has been a struggle, to say the least.

I’m working on a blog post for later this week. I’ll be sharing the best ways I’ve found to de-stress and quiet my mind. I’m always looking for new ideas, so if you have any good ones drop them below please!
