Hey there. Yep, I’m nonetheless right here. Soz for the radio silence, acquired a bit overwhelmed by stuff and therefore felt the necessity to disguise away and distance myself from social media and all that shiz for some time. Nervousness ranges have been excessive, my gremlin robust, and any sense of my true self had effectively and really fucked off. I used to be a hormonal wreck, in want of a while out. Which is precisely what I did. And boy has it completed me the world of excellent. I’m again feeling stronger, happier, and extra like I can deal with this shit and so I believed seeing because it’s a brand new yr I’d begin a brand new little characteristic on my weblog, which is mainly me having a weekly mind dump. The thought being that I get to creatively empty out the contents of my poor overactive thoughts, while additionally hopefully offering you lot with a number of giggles and possibly a way of reduction for those who’re feeling some of these items too.
New Year Resolutions
What a load of bollocks. I’m not gonna sugar coat this shit (or glitter the turd – my new favorite saying) I hate new yr resolutions. They do my bloody head in. Firstly, nobody sticks to them. Secondly, January is shite sufficient as it’s with out including much more crap to the pile. And thirdly, certainly we’ve all had sufficient of restrictions!!!
There’s a lot strain presently of yr to set resolutions and targets for the yr forward. Social media feeds are inundated with photos of individuals beginning new diets, new train regimes, operating every single day, not ingesting, chopping this, chopping that, or no matter else they really feel wants altering. However to me, all this narrative tells us is that who we’re is just not ok. Which is a bucketload of bollocks in my view.
I get that January appears a logical time to reassess, to start out afresh. And I’m all for that to some extent, in spite of everything just a little little bit of self enchancment by no means did anybody any hurt, it’s by no means good for us to relaxation on our laurels so to talk. What I do have an issue with, is the way it’s bought to us and the strain of feeling as if you ‘have’ to make a decision. I’ll be completely trustworthy with you, I caved this yr. I sat down with a pen and pocket book decided to jot down a listing of issues that wanted to alter. I spent ages staring down on the clean web page in entrance of me racking my mind, making an attempt to think about something, something in any respect that I may resolve to alter. Don’t get me flawed, I in no way assume I’m good, nor do I need or attempt to be, however what bothered me is how serious about resolutions created a unfavorable narrative inside me. As a result of the extra I struggled to give you any, the extra it made me really feel as if this was simply one other factor that I had failed at. Fucking good. I ripped out the web page, screwed it up, threw it within the bin and promised myself this – that this yr greater than the rest I’ll stay true to myself. Not a decision. A promise.
Little HRT Replace
I’m in a very good place hormones sensible in the mean time. There was a little bit of a blip once I first began the HRT, in that it gave the impression to be making my nervousness worse regardless of all of the bodily signs being alleviated. I introduced this up at my 3 month verify up and my dose was upped. Only one month on and I’m happy to say that contact wooden every thing appears to be doing what it ought to. I take progesterone tablets for half the month and am now on 3 pumps of oestrogen gel each evening. Each the bodily and psychological signs that I used to be experiencing have now all just about disappeared. Which is a (pardon the pun) bloody miracle! I’d love to do a number of extra posts on my expertise of this, as I understand how lots of you’re going by way of related, or not less than suspect you may be. It’s at all times actually useful to listen to from you about what you’d like me to put in writing about, questions you might need, and so on. so please do get in contact and let me know. My DM’s are at all times open, and regardless of the reasonably impersonal automated response, I’ll get again to you. The courageous a part of me wonders whether or not a Fb reside might be a goer… however then the scaredy pants aspect of me thinks nobody would flip up and that will be awks. So yeah, let me know what you concentrate on this too please my loves.
Beginning As I Imply To Go On
A few fortnight earlier than Christmas I fell sick, like correct take to my mattress sick. I don’t actually do sick. I combat it, refuse to really feel it, battle on. Us females are good at that, proper? Anyway, this significantly nasty bug, effectively and really floored me. In fact, the pure response was to assume it was Covid, cos effectively that’s what we’ve been brainwashed into considering. A Pack of lat flows and a PCR take a look at later, revealed it wasn’t Covid. 10 days spent largely in mattress, not consuming, shitting yellow liquid out of my poor sore bumhole, and coughing up chunks of lung butter, I emerged feeling and looking out like an emaciated Victorian road urchin. It wasn’t fairly.
I do know that is going to sound correct woo woo bizarre, as a result of truthfully I think it was simply flu and sure I’m 100% signing as much as a flu jab subsequent yr, there is part of me that thinks that possibly, simply possibly, me catching this bug was for a purpose. That possibly I had been preventing issues for thus lengthy, that each one of my energies had change into blocked, that maybe my physique wanted a ginormous bodily and psychological purge to ensure that it to reset. Does that sound loopy? Since then, I’ve felt this shift in me. Clearly, I really feel immensely higher in myself now that I’m consuming correctly once more and in a position to depart the home and train. However my mindset has additionally modified since then. It’s as if I’m lighter, like one thing has been lifted from me, and it brings with it essentially the most immense reduction let me inform you.
Final yr was a shit present – each actually and figuratively – however I’ve come out of it and moved into 2022 feeling extra like me than I’ve in a protracted previous time and it feels superior.
So no, I received’t be making resolutions, they’re effectively and really stepping into my fuck it bucket. This woman has acquired no extra shits to offer – fairly actually!!
I hope you loved this week’s mind dump. Come again subsequent week for extra!
Within the meantime, for those who wanna get in contact, it’s probs finest to move on over to one in all my socials the place I’m gonna attempt to be a bit extra lively once more on, with out letting it utterly run the present.
