I know I have about zero followers and that is okay. I keep thinking about starting an awareness movement for mental illness. There are already so many national organizations that do it, but I know I personally never see anything from them which leads me to believe that many others do not see those either. I know if I started something that there would not be many people who would see what I start either, but I think it is important. There is so much stigma and embarrassment surrounding mental illness and it can make it difficult for people to seek help or even talk about it with their friends. I know that typically most people don't discuss their illnesses in general, so it is a strange thing to want to openly discuss mental illness. I keep thinking about starting the movement though. I'm just not sure how. I don't know what the best way to approach it would be. I will keep thinking about it and maybe I will come up with something.
This week was not so great. I worked lots of extra hours, and I sometimes feel like my primary function is to baby sit adults. I didn't get enough sleep this week, and I have been ravenously hungry. I have at least figured out what caused The Hungry. I quit taking birth control about a month ago and its hormone time. Que all the usual suspects: hunger, fatigue, irritability, and general aches. On the bright side, my knee has been feeling better so I have been going for short walks. While I did not stay under on calories, I did meet my exercise goals, so at least I've got that going for me. Now, onto the Fitbit story! 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....
