So, I have been drained lately. If you read my previous post (Bursting Sponge) you would know. I don’t know why that is. It could easily be the pain taking a toll of my body. Or finals approaching. Schedule changes. Even a mixture of all the above. There is one thing that has caught…

End of Season
It has been over a full week since I ended my 2018-2019 Figure Skating year. This was also my 20th season on the ice. As you all remember last season was a disappointment after coming off from a season high the year before. Well, this season didn’t start off so good. And to be honest…
Paralyzed by Fear
Bell Let’s Talk is back. And it could not have come at a better time. Why is that? I have been suffering big time mentally lately, and it is progressively getting worse.
Blindsided by a Nagging Injury
Why yes, it has been forever since I have updated. Basically since the site showed my last school assignment. While I hope you all can forgive me, I still feel like I have to give an explanation about my whereabouts. While, I am not comfortable and/or ready to get into the details about this injury….
Changing your schedule with Fibromyalgia
Everyone knows how having to make schedules every week is a pain in the ass. However, it is even more-so when you suffer from Fibromyalgia. When I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, the biggest issue I had to deal with was control my schedule in order not to burn myself out. Fibromyalgia requires consistency. I don’t…
12 Things about living through Chronic Illnesses
My last blog post was about, “10 things nobody tells you about Endometriosis.” I decided that this blog post will be a bit similar. In result, I will give 12 things that I want others to know about how I live through Chronic Illnesses. I am hoping this will be informative for those who don’t…
Easing the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (also known as PTSD) is a disorder I never knew I could relate myself too. However, after a massive incident, it forced me to realize how real and how critical this mental disorder could impact someone.
Being an athlete with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
So, today it was (rumoured) that a top athlete (Montreal Canadiens Goalie: Carey Price) was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome back in November. And from all the websites, posts, media etc., everyone was making fun of the illness and saying it was from “Carrying the team on his back,” etc. What people don’t realize….
Adrenal Fatigue Reload
The past few weeks I have been over tired. I think it started before Christmas. In December when I started a new job and my hours have been all over the place and I have not been able to keep up. Some days have been 1-2 hours of working. Other days I work 12-15. And…
Surgery #2
Surgery number 2 has been completed about two weeks ago. I had a laparoscopy for Endometriosis and had the best care one could ask for especially in the dysfunctional Quebec medical system. While the day was set in stone for a month before the surgery. I only found out the time I needed to be…
Leaving Out-Patient Rehab: Cravings, temptations, continued program, anxiety and stomach ulcers
I have left the out-patient rehab program for my Binge Eating Disorder about two months ago. This rehab program was a shorter one, but I went in willingly and since it was my own choice I found it easier to go through. While I was there, I learnt a whole lot about myself and what…
Trapped in a World Pool of Thoughts
So…It seems like my last few posts have been about the mental state. But I honestly think the mental state determines a lot in someones health. Is it normal for someone to cry every night for absolutely no reason? I mean start off on the verge of tears and all of a sudden they…
