Managing Anxiety and other thoughts...

Hello everyone and welcome to Keil's Comments.  I have got a lot of stuff to cover so let's get after it, shall we?

Earlier this year I made a video about dealing with anxiety (which you can see above). How have I done in the months since?

Well...I have my days where it gets too much and frustration gets the best of me, especially when I am trying to talk to Sharon about some things -- I'm not saying that Sharon frustrates me, she doesn't. It's when I have a one track mind and the other tracks seem to pop up out of nowhere. I won't name off all the times anxiety and frustration reared its ugly head (some of it did occur while we were on vacation in Colorado) but I am still doing my best to keep it under control. It's just a matter of making sure I take my medication when I am supposed to. Do I? No. But the past week I have been doing good on that route.

I have been undergoing counseling lately for anxiety and other things...there is a wonderful Christian counseling office up the street from my house. I talk to a wonderful lady named Mina. I feel like that has helped as well. She is very understanding and when we talk the time goes by quickly.

Moving on to other topics...

I'm getting ready in a couple of weeks to start another season of high school football coverage. I'll be on the board for the Wewoka Tiger games again, but at least this year I will know what to expect during the games.  Hopefully this year *fingers crossed* Wewoka will at least sneak into the playoffs.

Speaking of football on another level...the news of Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck calling it a career just two weeks before the season starts caught everyone by surprise, including yours truly.  Like most of America, I thought that someone had hacked into Adam Schefter's Twitter feed Saturday night when that came out. But as more and more outlets confirmed the news, it became more clear that he was done playing in the NFL. Now, all the uber Fantasy Football geeks and some sports media idiots like one Douglas Gottlieb, couldn't wrap their head around the fact that someone could just walk away for the sake of their health. And who gives a rat's tail if it affects your fantasy football team this season...there are 31 other quarterbacks you could choose from not counting any backups that might get thrust into action.

That's about all I have for now.  Until next time...
