Today, 28th of June, I am officially on my 1st month of medical leave. My medical leave is attributed to my anxiety attacks.
I am grateful for this medical leave as I am able to do things at a slower and more tranquil pace, I am in close contact and coordination with my medical team (my general practitioner doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist and therapists).
During this month, when I am on my medical leave, I dedicated my time, energy and efforts on the following:
1. Medical visits - necessary to keep in touch with my doctors and of course, taking my prescribed medicines and pills
2. Adapting to the medicines that I am taking - just last week, my doctor increased the dosage of one of my pills and I was sensitive the entire week, almost crying the entire week and was quite exhausted even if I was doing minimum activities
3. Maximizing my time with my son - I took him to his school and is taking him to his summer camp. I always cook his food. I spend time all the possible free time that I have.
4. Yoga and meditation
5. Quiet solitude moments - I take the time to walk/do footing at my pace, connect with nature by being in parks, places with a lot of trees, I read books, watch tv/netflix at my pace
6. I connect to work. I have my work laptop at home and connecting at work, doing some tasks is also relaxing for me and it makes me stay connected at work. :)
7. I regularly go to the Church. After taking my son to his summer camp and completing my morning walk, I make it a point to go to the Church to pray, give my thanksgiving to our Lord, our Savior.
8. I get in touch with family and friends who are across the miles!!!
9. I spend time doing therapeutic massages and acupuncture. Thanks to Pilar and Borja who have been very helpful and attentive to me.
10. I cook a lot.. I concoct special and easy dished but made with so much love!!!
I am grateful for this medical leave and I trust and put all my faith that this too shall pass. Everything will turn out well. So help me God. Thank you Lord Jesus!!!
