My New Meds and The Crochet Adventure

It’s been a little over a week on Pristiq.

I am finding it easier to get out of bed, and my focus is starting to come back.

I’ve started crocheting again, which was something I loved to do. I’m starting a small crochet business with my Aunt and I am making plushies, along with custom orders, blanket, and the like.

I’m hoping this means the medication is turning things around for me. I’ve had a rough go and would like some up time. It’s been a while since I’ve WANTED to do things.

I am hoping that my desire for my weekly running is in the queue for things I get back to soon. I’m missing my community and the good feelings I get when I get moving!!

My crocheting really brings a sense of calm and accomplishment. It’s something I want to share so A & S Crochet Creations was born. We are aandscrochet on Instagram, and I have a little shop on the Tedoo app. Getting ready to also build a website soon so everyone can see what we’re up to!

I will say that the itch to run HAS surfaced since I ran the 5k at the Bluenose. I just need it to ramp up so that I get back to doing what I love and get back to the people I have been missing!

Are there still crappy things? Oh yeah. But ai think I am really finding my footing. I am really thinking about where my energy needs to be and WHERE and I want to spend it.

I’m setting my boundaries and focusing on me, which I haven’t been doing.

Therapy is also helping, and it’s a great tool for me to hash out my thoughts and feelings. So glad I took that leap.

So, let’s keep collective fingers crossed that these tools keep me on the up and up!!

I’m going to try and be optimistic 😉

Until next time!
