a new journey.

so it goes like this; i just turned 28, i’m working at a dream of a company, i have literally the best boyfriend in the world, the best dog and cat, and we’re moving into a bigger apartment with a balcony (which i’ve been waiting 5 years for).

about a year and a half ago i made the decision to go vegan which was something i had thought about lots only now it was easy because my boyfriend was also vegan. i stopped doing drugs and i pretty much never drink anymore, but somehow i still don’t feel like the best version of myself which majorly gets me down.

here’s where i get a little personal with this. over the past 10 months i’ve gained some major weight making me the heaviest i personally have ever been at 190 pounds, you might not be able to tell by looking at me but i am very uncomfortable in my own skin these days. i have been diagnosed with depression, bi-polar disorder as well as an autoimmune disease and i would be lying if i said that i haven’t let this get the best of me.

during my later years of high school every little thing made it feel like the world was crashing down around me, i wasn’t my normal self and i felt like i wasn’t in control. with lots of push from my mom i finally spoke to my doctor about it and that’s when i was diagnosed with depression and bi-polar disorder. i started to take medication to “even me out” as i like to call it which made things a lot better for me, i never liked the idea of having to take something to make me this way because i just wanted to be “normal” however i continued to take the medication because i knew it was likely for the best.

then one day about 5 years ago i started noticing itches little scabs on the lower half of my legs which i thought was odd but didn’t think much more of it but low and behold these little scabs wouldn’t go away and more and more would appear. that’s when i couldn’t take it anymore and i finally went to my doctor about them, and let me tell you the past 5 years have been quite the journey since that day! i’ve have tried every cream and ointment out there, spent hundreds of dollars (i didn’t have health benefits until recently), gotten numerous biopsies, and these things still won’t go away. i then found out that it’s some type of autoimmune disease, but we’re still not sure which form, and the only thing that calms them down is steroids.

now some of you might not know this but steroids are most certainly not good for you, which leads me to the next step in my journey. i vow, from this day forward, to do everything in my power to be a better version of myself.

beginning this day, may 29th 2017, i promise myself that i am going to eat more unprocessed and organic foods, utilize my time effectively so that i can be more active, and i am going to think in a more positive manner so i can uplift my spirit.

this won’t be a diary or a tracker but more of a platform to talk about my journey in hopes of helping at least one person on theirs. so, come along!
