Moving around while in pain.
This morning (20/05/2019) I woke up in crippling pain. Just standing on my two feet hurt enough for me to fall over. The pain is more in my spine, but for some reason goes all the way down into my legs and heels. I have been grabbing onto furniture in order to move around the…
Update on Living with Fibromyalgia
May 12th is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. I have been living with Fibromyalgia since 2014 when it was first diagnosed. Over the years I have started to learn how to live with it and thought I would share some of the things that have happened over the years and the tips that have helped me. I…
Learning About Myself
So, to conclude Mental Health Awareness Week (Even though we should be following through on this daily). I wanted to give you guys a follow-up on some things I have went through, how they are impacting my mental health and what I am doing to fix them. First thing, I realized about a year ago…
Mental Health Writing Exercises
A few weeks ago I went through a really dark phase. One that I needed to open up to a few close friends in order to find myself help. In that time I was also given exercises in order to work my brain and try to clear out some thoughts. So I want to post…
Chronic Pain and Mental Health

Stress Triggering Fibromyalgia Symptoms
So basically this past few weeks with my mental health and my physical health I have been undergoing loads of stress. Add us getting a new (lovely) manager at work, plus finals and new classes starting at school…well I have had a hard time trying to keep everything together. Because of everything else, the stress…
Insomniac Zombie
Good Evening…or Morning…? So it is close to 1am and I am still nowhere near sleepy. Instead, I feel like I’ve been hit with a frying pan and slowly becoming a zombie. This is the second night IN A ROW… I have been suffering from insomnia. While last night I wasn’t doing much. Instead…
Drained.
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…
Bursting Sponge
This week has been a brutal week. I’ve been absorbing everything like a sponge for too long and I finally burst. There was a while ago when I brought up the topic, “Depression, Suicidal thoughts without wanting to harm.” This is still the case but the intensity of wanting to self-harm has been…
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…
