Feeling Better

After 5 days of hell I'm finally feeling better.  The world cleared about an hour before I left work today.  That was probably one of the worst illnesses I have had as an adult.  My head hurt so bad I kind of just wanted to chop it off.  Once the headache went away the dizziness set it and I didn't want move because the world swam around me when I did.  My head has finally quit hurting and the world isn't swimming when I move around.  I'm hoping I can sleep tonight with taking beandryl.  Prior to today if I tried to lay flat to sleep the pressure would build in my head in a very painful way and I can't sleep while sitting. 

I'm keeping my fitness goals pretty easy for this week.  I don't want to over do it this soon after recovering from a hellacious sickness. 

Goals for the week 8/3
  1. Do leg exercises twice.
  2. Eat healthy food
  3. Drink lots of water
Basic, I know, but its better to keep it basic then re stress my body.  That's all I have for today.  I'll try to post something more interesting on Friday/Saturday.

I'm sure everyone knows what Fitbit is and the line of fitness products they offer.  ( www.fitbit.com )  Through a health program at work, I received a free one about 6 months ago.  Unfortunately, I lost it after a short time.  Then I started having knee problems so I never purchased a new one....

Depression and Asking for Help

Depression is one of the most well known mental disorders.  If I walked out into the streets and asked someone what depression is I'm sure I would get a many varied responses.  Some of them would be accurate and some of them would not be, but everyone I asked would know the word.  According to the National Institute of Mental Health , 6.7% of adults in the US suffered from depression in 2016.  The World Health Organization (WHO) states that "globally more than 300 million people of all ages suffer from depression."  Also according to WHO, "Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease." Despite this information many people still suffer in silence.  There are many reasons why people do not reach out when they are in need, but most are associated with shame and the stigma of the disease.  This silence needs to be broken.  Those who suffer with depression and other mental ...
