Dear Linarra and Anita,

As you mentioned, now I am trying new means to change the environment around me. The good news is, I have a pet dog! And now he has become my emotional sanctuary. Seeing him, playing with him and taking him for walks have made me emotionally stable for the past few days (however not fully).

Now I have started to focus more on my body by exercising and running. This sure has helped me because, each night I have a slight feeling of contentment that I have done good to my body, at the least. The next day, I have something to look forward to, as well. However, I couldn’t maintain a constant schedule for my training as there are obvious downfalls. Some days I skip, some days I do. But I’m really hopeful that this will help to keep my mind focused.

Meanwhile, I am trying other avenues for jobs and somehow move out of this place.
