The Race to 90 - To the victor goes the title

Discussion in 'Events & Challenges' started by Jefe Rojo, Dec 21, 2018.

  1. It sounds like you aren’t a big fan of your employment. Have you considered changing careers or looking for a new job? Also, to beat loneliness have you tried being in places where you can meet new people and make new friends? I also find that volunteering has helped me forget about myself and help other people, which in turn builds self esteem. When I was single and lonely I volunteered at a hospital in Baltimore, MD in the shock trauma resuscitation unit and the shock trauma operating rooms. It got me out of my comfort zone, I met new people and learned about the fascinating world of trauma medicine. I watched world renowned doctors save people’s lives. I quickly lost my fear of seeing blood and needles :) . I cleaned blood off body boards and stretchers. I translated for a doctor when they had a Spanish patient! I stocked supplies and set up operating rooms. I would even have opportunities to observe surgeries. I remember one time I stood in the OR while a neurosurgeon was performing brain surgery. He talked to me and had me help him with his head lamp. I saw body parts removed and in buckets. I saw stab wound victims and bad compound fractures. I learned that I would never own a motorcycle once I saw a motorcycle crash victim. I would go get blood from the blood bank and I saw first hand how blood donation saves lives. It was awesome. It was very rewarding work. I grew a lot as a person. I learned new skills. I did this while I was single and had extra time on my hands.

    Good question, Hones answer is not much. I workout a few times each week. I try to stay busy. And I post here. But when these emotions come around I don’t have a real effective way to handle them.

    Jefe, this is perfect for me! I really do need more connections. And yes I am really thinking about looking at other jobs. But I really need to do some more things that aren’t so about me. I will check out the local hospital and see if the will let me volunteer.

    Day 14 of 90: It was the best of days and it was the worst of days. So today my mind was wondering all over the place! I mean it was not good at all my thoughts were all around MO after my workout today. But I made it through that hour and then the next. It feels so good to feel like I am getting a little bit mentally stronger each day. Today I was looking at a dating app and for the first time in a long time I wasn’t looking with a focus on just sexually appeal. But instead I was interested in real people with real feelings and hope and dreams of their own. That being said I know I need to focus on just these next 24 hours because even now my mind is wondering to PMO. I believe in myself and I believe in each of you.

    great stuff guys. Yesterday was good, but I'm going to keep very humble until I have a few more days on this streak under my belt. My main focus right now is keeping busy - so far so good! :)

    Oh yeah, I have those too. One minute everything is normal and the next I got images in my mind and I am freaking out. Although there is a lot less freaking out now. Plus it give me something to post about overcoming.

    Day 16 of 90: Another 24 hours what a sweet goal. Today was a good day when it comes to PMO no flashbacks. But I have to admit that I jokingly made a poorly natured joke to one of my roommates and then the conversation went down hill from there. I felt so stupid, I started a trigger filled conversation! It was like lightning a match know you are covered in gasoline. So stupid! So I then had to stop the conversation and admit that it was my bad.

    Today was also a strange emotional day for me. The best way I can discribe is that I took ownership for all of my thoughts and crap in my life. Kind of a disorienting blow to my ego.
