Prologue

I am back. Life has been a little topsy turvy since the last time I was here. So a little recap:

1. I quit my teaching job.

2. Got my dream job.

3. Got fired.

4. I got a job at a store.

5. I started school

6. I got promoted to Assistant Store Manager.

7. I got a job offer and signed for it.

8. I quit the store.

9. The job never began.

10. I got another job.

11. I am a teacher again but I work from home.

12. I will be going back to my old teaching job in the fall.

So..... that's where I am at at the moment.

You may be asking, "But Krishna, I thought you hated teaching?" On the contrary friend, I love it but I became overstimulated too often and it turns out it was because my medication was unbalanced. I can handle a lot more now and I have found happiness again. Ultimately though, I chose to go back because I value the financial stability it offered me and my family. In this world, money does kind of equal happiness. So I guess I am also redacting previous statements. I miss skating and it is hard to do now because skating is expensive and I kind of dug myself a financial hole while I was going through my last episode and I am still trying to dig my way out.

However, I have been able to find joy in simpler things. For example, studying and accomplishing good grades in school, crocheting (not the same as knitting), spending quality time with friends, going to the gym, etc.

Sometimes all we need is to slow down, pause, and restart.

Now, I don't know how next year will pan out but I have faith in my meds and therapy that I will be able to handle it better and handle my emotions better as well.
