One good thing

[AJ]

I broke my arm in my second year and required two surgeries. I found my profs to be very accommodating.

[Gossip]

It kind of floors me, because the administration is very NOT accommodating when it comes to my mental health, to the point that I'm literally not allowed to reach out to profs if I'm struggling, but with the physical issue I was encouraged to reach out first thing. Honestly, it makes me really angry!

Gossip, it’s very disappointing to hear they did not support your mental health. I just assumed they were supporting you with that as well. After my first post I realized I also assumed your gender so sorry about suggesting knitting etc if it’s not your thing but I’m sure you got the idea.

It’s so frustrating that all of the advocacy being done around mental illness does not apply to universities and colleges. Mental illness is part of the brain which is a physical part of the human body!

Im glad you are feeling hopeful with being able to exercise. Wish I got joy from exercise.

That would make me angry too Gossip.

oh and my one good thing for the day is that the sun is out and it warmed up

uni, the old administration used to be very supportive, but there have been some changes in the ranks at the top and things are very different now! I want the old crew back!!

But my midterm today felt easy, so that's something.

Congratulations on writing the exam Gossip, especially since it felt easy

So today's good thing is that I went walking in the park with a good friend and her dog.

[Gossip]

Dog walks are the best!

An easy midterm is great. I agree, dog walks are the best! (Click on picture)

We have Labs too! Purebred or mixed?

Yesterday Mom picked me up so I could come home for the long weekend without risking driving on the highway while still concussed.

[AJ]

That's a good idea Gossip. She is a rescue and has mostly lab, some doberman, and a splash of shepherd in her.

Today I broke a sweat moving furniture around. Moving and housework are free workouts!

[AJ]

Yes they are!

[uni]

I'm happy that this thread is still going.... for me, it's today's good thing

Uni, you are too funny!

Uni, I was referring to the bird dung on the car. One good thing that happened to me today was I started clearing out all my old files/papers, which included paperwork related to my deceased parents. I feel a need for order, and to reduce everything to the essentials. It's almost as if, by doing so, I'm trying to clear my mind so I can function better. Sometimes, though, I can get these spurts of throwing everything out, including what I need.
