My friend Rachelle is coming to visit from Washington tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to it. It will be nice to have some time to just have fun. I need to have more fun in general. I get so caught up in my illness and self-consciousness that I often forget to let loose and have a good time.

I'm trying to get healthier. Here are some of the things I am working on:

Less caffeine (tea for breakfast instead of coffee)
Yoga (haven't started this yet)
Taking a multivitamin every day
Meditating
Trying to relieve stress

The stress thing is hard because I have generalized anxiety disorder which means that I constantly have a feeling of impending doom and always expect the worst. I'm trying to talk about it more and recognize that most of the things I worry about never happen.
