I DIDN’T POST ANYTHING AS OF YET. But if you like me, and want to read what I write, follow me there. I will be posting for the first time (hopefully) tonight. Give me suggestions, reply, follow, hate it, I don’t care. But that’s where I will be at now. Call me, beep me if ya wanna reach me.
Hi everyone.
I hate making this post but I’m not going to be using this tumblr anymore.
IM MAKING A NEW ONE! About mental illness, college, ADHD, the struggles of relationships with mental illness, fitness, wellness, friendships, my job, and well basically my life.
I’ve found it’s time to expand myself and try to pursue writing again. I used to every day. All the time. Then it became harder to convey my thoughts. My sentences were poorly formed. My thoughts were rambling. My brain was foggy.
I’m on medicine now. I’m doing fantastic. It was mentioned to me in one of my ADHD support groups that the way I give advice and the way I encourage others, should be put on a platform. So, I’m gonna try it. I will let you know when this happens, where you can follow, and what is to come.
I can’t thank y’all enough for your support through my fitness journey and life journey to this point. I can’t wait to have y’all as followers and/or subscribers.
Yesterday my world changed forever.
I finally got the balls to talk to my new physician about my mental health. Anxiety, depression, lack of concentration, circling thoughts, unable to get ahead, being overwhelmed, and general fatigue from it all. She did three screenings. 1 for depression (it was scored as severe) 1 for anxiety (moderate) and the last one was a curveball. ADHD. I scored enough to be diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.
I am 24. I never had ADHD or ADD as a child. This rocked my world. I did extensive research last night about ADD in women. Apparently sometimes signs don’t show until you’re older.
I seriously just deleted a whole paragraph cause I rambled into 5 different subjects.
Bottom line is I have ADD. And it’s becoming way more apparent. I had it as a kid and didn’t even know. I mean I have an above average IQ. I did well in school. I was a home body. Introverted. I’m not the norm. But I now get it. Why I could never stay organized. Why I could never keep my room clean. Why my head felt like a concert. Why I day dreamed. Why I zoned out. Why I drink until I’m black out drunk. Why I hate having too much stimuli at once. Why I get distracted by someone clicking a pen or having a conversation to the side. Why I have outbursts of anger. Why I interrupt people unknowingly. Why I cannot control the volume of my voice or how fast I talk. Why I’m constantly talking. Why in my head I know I have good ideas and neat thoughts but I cannot convey them. Why I go off on tangents while telling stories. Why I constantly forget where I put things or forget to grab important things that were right in front of my face. Why I have half assed projects and cleaning attempts.
All these things I thought were character flaws. When in all reality I have ADD. And my brain is wired differently.
Ok this post is too long and I got distracted and needed to clean. But I’ve talked about my journey to mental health before and just wanted to share. I’m seeing a psychologist soon to go over my treatment options. It’s like earth shattering and overwhelming.
I did triangle pose in yoga today
And threw out my back. I felt so good because I wasn't having to use my yoga block and was so proud. Then I heard a pop in my back. Now I can't move my neck or right shoulder. My fiancé tried rubbing it out but that felt worse. FYI kids, do not over do it.
I can to tree pose!
I have 0 balance. I’m the clumsiest klutz I know. And I did tree pose in yoga yesterday and could lift my arms and close my eyes during it! I was so freakin proud of myself. I also learned how to do relaxing yoga for bed time. And some new breathing techniques for anxiety and asthma and allergies. They actually work, I promise.
Yoga is a very fun enlightening adventure. I’m really enjoying it.
Edit; the allergies breathing exercise is called anuloma viloma. It also helps with anxiety and asthma. I made my mom try it and it cleared up her nasal passages. I'm gonna try it when I start to get anxiety today. Hell, I thought this was all a load of shit too, but if you open up your mind you will see these yogi's aren't batshit crazy.
I started yoga for beginners in college yesterday.
I honestly thought that yoga wouldn't be relaxing. That it was a load of shit. I was stressed after the day I had. First day back. New school. Anxiety. A lot of reading. Then I had yoga. I was nervous as to what to expect. I learned the basics I already knew, child's pose, upward dog, downward dog, cobra, warrior 1. Then I learned some new stuff. Like breathing. Ohms. Breathing through it. Being in the silent. Being ok with your thoughts. I actually like yoga. Someone who lifts weights and does heart thumping workouts likes these calming stretches and breathing exercises. I am sore as shit today though. But I also learned how to break my circling thoughts and how to breathe. This is now my absolute favorite class and it's such a perfect way to end each school day.
I guess bad things come in threes.
My fiancé's grandmother got rushed to the hospital last Wednesday with shortness of breath, pain in her chest, coughing, and vomiting. We thought oh it's probably pneumonia. Nope. She suffered a heart attack. And when doing the scope of her heart we found out that she has 4 blockages. So all weekend we have been at the hospital with her. This morning (actually right now) she is having a quadruple bypass open heart surgery. This is terrifying to me. I don't have any grandparents. Both of my grandmothers died in my teen years. I don't acknowledge Richard as my grandfather because he was a piece of shit. And my grandfather passed away before I was even a thought when he was 48. He had open heart surgery. He actually was the 13th person to have open heart surgery in the world. (He died after surgery though, from a heart attack). She's the only pseudo grand parent I have. I'm pretty close to her. And she told us something interesting yesterday that I wanted to tell y'all. She looked at us right in the eye and said "watch what you eat and exercise. Or you'll end up here." This is a huge wake up call. Heart disease runs in both sides of my family. My grandfather and my uncle died at 48 of heart attacks. High blood pressure is rampant in my moms side. My dads side has diabetes type 2. We think granny will be ok. She was doing well before the surgery (blood sugar was down, blood pressure was down) but I'm scared shitless. This is my wake up call. Take care of your body and watch what you eat. Cause you only get one body in this life.
This is how Boone, mine and my fiancé's puppy, sleeps. He has apparently slept this way since he could walk, according to the lady we bought him from. He's a dork. I can't wait to bring him home.
Is anyone out there wheat free? Or gluten free?
I have questions. Like about a million of them. About diet, symptoms, weight. All kinds of shit. Someone just reply to this post or message me, pretty please, if I can ask a few questions. Back story: I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to wheat. I have pretty gnarly reactions to it now and I'm thinking about either going wheat free or gluten free until I can get an allergy test to confirm what I am allergic to.
A series of unfortunate events
I like those books. But right now I'm talking about my life. Not last Saturday but the Saturday before I decided to be an adult and get my oil changed. And while I was at it because my tires are under warranty at Walmart, get my tires balanced and rotated. They also fill them up with air. Two days later, my tire pressure light came on. I was confused but figured it was just because of this extreme heat we're having lately. Then on Thursday I came out of the post office and noticed my tire sagging. Then I went to drive and it was completely flat. I called my mom and she brought me an air compressor. I filled it up and just monitored my tire. Well it went flat again on Sunday. I was pissed cause I didn't have this issue till Walmart screwed with my tire. I went to Walmart on Monday. They put on a new tire. Took 3 friggin hours but it happened. Then yesterday I was at the same post office and SOMEONE AND THEIR HEATHEN CHILD OPENED THE DOOR OF THEIR CAR AND LEFT BIG GASHES IN MY PASSENGER SIDE. Like 2 big ones. Down to the metal. Called my insurance and they said they'd need to have a police report to even do anything. So my ass had to call the police for a dinged door. 😐In short, I felt like an idiot. Then last night I decided to figure out with my mom what am I allergic to. I've been having weird allergic reactions to bread, pasta, rice, meats, and dairy since I was 14/15. And I had the worst one yet on Monday. I was eating chicken marsala with egg noodles. Which is my favorite food ever. I pile that shit on my plate like a beast. Well my chest started to get tight, and my throat clenched as if the food was stuck. That normally happens with most pastas and breads. What I did not expect was my stomach bloating to the point where I looked pregnant, having severe stomach pains for hours after, and running to the bathroom. I felt nausea, crampy, gassy and bloated. I'm finally at the point where enough is enough. I looked it up and it seems that all of that is a form of anaphylaxis. Weird right? I know anaphylaxis because I'm allergic to tree nuts, and walnuts cause me to have anaphylaxis (different tree nuts do different things to my body, which is odd in itself). But now I'm allergic to something. My sister found out (who had the same symptoms as me) that she's allergic to pork, turkey, eggs, rice, and oats. I've been tested for seasonal allergies, but not food allergies. I found out the hard way with tree nuts. *fun fact: strawberries are nuts but peanuts are not. Peanuts are legumes because of the way they grow. I'm not allergic to either.* Basically long story short, all my symptoms, including my mental illness related symptoms, are concurrent with a wheat allergy. Like I'm even sure it's the main cause of my new break outs I'm having with certain makeup, lotions, and face wash. Now I gotta go get tested. My sister just went vegetarian for health reasons, and I may have to do the same. Y'all pray for me, cause this eliminates a lot of my favorite foods.
Week 1, Day 4: I went swimming.
I didn't post last night because it got super late but I went swimming in my pool for my exercise. It was very lovely and I cooled down after. To be honest, I'll probably swim again tonight after my work out. I missed a day because my mom asked me to sub for someone for Bunco. It's a dice game she plays with a bunch of older ladies. I'm the youngest person actually. lol. I'll be going through my follows tonight and reblogs on my one post and follow people back. Work has just been crazy and I got a flat tire yesterday after picking up the mail. Not sure how but I did.
I love dogs
Do y'all remember being a kid and trying to read in the car while it was dark outside and your parents wouldn’t let you turn on the light so you would try to grab snatches of sentences when you passed by street lights
imagine dating someone who understands you and your aesthetics and constantly took really attractive and aesthetically photos with and of you
