Shaky Mental Health
***WARNING: SENSITIVE CONTENT/IMAGES. VIEW WITH CAUTION. 11/06/2019-Ongoing These past two or so weeks have been tough. And honestly, I have no idea why.

Confusion of my Future

Long day at the Hospital
May 27th, 2019 – I went to a hospital, one where I am being followed by several doctors. Today’s appointment was the rheumatology clinic. My appointment was around 2:30, the doctor was slightly late, nothing later then 10 minutes. But out of all the times he has been on time or early this was nowhere…
Chronic Exhaustion
So these past few days I have been dying of exhaustion. Like I don’t think it is possible to be any more tired then I already am. Now here is the thing. There is one problem. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. My schedule has remained roughly the same. Maybe a few changes here and there but nothing…
