How much of your physical health plays into your mental health?

by

I’ve talked about this before, but my own physical health, this broken bone that I’ve been wearing a cast on for 3 months and its affects on my mental well-being.  But, here I am again…thinking these same thoughts.  The thoughts that if this doesn’t end soon, I’m going to go bizzerk. 

Add in the fact that I now have mono again and I’m dependent on my mom to handle most of the duties in my house.  It’s the laundry, the running of the kids to and from school.  I’m doing much of nothing other than sitting here writing posts.  Writing and writing, chatting, skyping, tweeting, tat’s what I”m doing. 

It takes a toll on you emotionally when you have to ask someone to do for you the small things.  And now, I’m trying to plan a trip.  A trip that’s not going to make my mother very happy because obviously if I can go on a trip, I can do for myself right? 

Not necessarily.  I need to do the trip so that I can continue to grow and network.  I need to do the trip so I can meet new people and network.  That’s the name of the game…network, network, network. 

What would you do?

    For sure physical health plays a big role in our mental health. How can you feel good if your body feels bad?
