What are some of my personal stressors that are present in my life right now are excessive worries about my health and safety.  I am worried about my two Uncles, who are in the hospital right now.  Although I am declining in my health right now.  I will admit that I have been sleeping excessively.  I also have to admit that I am taking too much medicine each day.  I would like to consult with all of my Doctors to see what I can reduce from the 38 medications that I have been prescribed as of late.  I also will have to admit that I have been Court Ordered to take my psychotropic medications by a Probate Judge last year and in the past.

Further, I would like to lose at least 100 pounds within a specified period of time.  I have been clean and sober for a large number of years now.  This is the reason why I tend to go to the library on a daily basis.  I need to visit the library and Church each day of the week.  I need to learn how to love myself a whole lot more than usual.  As far as my personal Relationships with my family members and friends, I do need to visit them more often than usual.  I know that my apartment building is infested with bedbugs and other insects.  At least, I have been spraying alcohol inside of my apartment.  I also know that there are people who are selling drugs inside of the building.  I will admit that I need to be more alert and careful while foods are cooking.  I have burnt up pots and pans because I was not paying close attention to my foods.

Moreover, I want to say that I need to learn how to pay attention to everyone else as well as myself.  Taking 38 pills per day has messed me up completely.  I have been feeling sluggish and tired each day.  I will admit that I need to stop drinking so much coffee because I need to rest more and perhaps, get admitted into the hospital for a while because I am in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease right now.

Finally, I need to throw more stuff away.  I need to have a skilled nursing staff meeting with me on a daily basis.  I do not drink as much coffee as I used to.  At the AA Meetings, I used to drink five cups of coffee each day.  The residents at my apartment building are very concerned about my personal safety and others who are in my situation.  I have to end this essay by saying that I need to pay more attention to the things that I am doing for myself.  I know that Alzheimer’s and Dementia runs in our family.  I am in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, but the advance stages of Diabetes right now.  I have to stop buying things that I do not need.  I am very happy to just have my breath of life and my daily bread each day.  This is something that I do not take this for granted.  I take this very serious.  Thank you for reading my essay.
