Happy Holidays

-
Hey everyone, 

I know it has been a while since i posted last.  I have been busy with appoinments and getting ready for the holidays.  Luckily I had all my shopping done before the malls got ridiculously busy.  It has hurt to walk the past couple weeks.. my hip has been feeling rough.  

I went to the naturopath a bit ago and she said I could be on this special diet for a few years, which Im pretty bummed about but I am making it work.  I made some really yummy gingerbread cookies that were gluten and refined sugar free, definitely the best gluten free baking ive done.  I made them twice because the whole family enjoyed them. 

I also went for more hypo dermal testing or whatever it is called, apparently my number has gone down from the first time for several nasty bacteria that are said to be wreaking havok in my body.  This is good, it means the nasty supplements are working.  

I started seeing a psychologist as well.  We have discovered that I dont like myself and part of me doesnt want to like myself.  Not sure why but we will work on that.  I think thats why my past relationships failed so miserably.  It is very hard to believe someone else likes you when you dont like yourself.  I really need to work on myself before i can be happy with someone else (cliche i know). 

I went to a concert that was fun.  But I left my keys in the car and had a bit of a panic halfway through.  The brain fog is pretty bad as you can imagine.  I seriously considered bringing a cane to the concert... thats how much pain I've been in.  

I saw the good dinosaur with my grandma because we used to watch the land before time over and over and over and she thought it would be cute to go see another dino movie together.  It was very good but very sad.  The poor good dinosaur had a lot to overcome.  

Im getting together with some good friends this week.  (One of my best friends is home from Ottawa and I cant wait to see her tomorrow).  

Sorry for any typos or grammar mistakes, I'm working from my ipad instead of the computer today.  

Thanks so much for reading the trivial bits of my life, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!

To whom it may concern at Queen's University...

To whom it may concern at Queen's University, I should be graduating in May.  This should be my final semester. Instead I am leaving. Two near suicide attempts and one leave of absence later, I realized you were not worth my time, money or health. A lot of it was not your fault, but a lot of it was. Firstly, your student body and staff still have so much stigma surrounding mental health and invisible illness. As a person with depression, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, I have always felt like an outsider, unable to participate in activities around campus due to illness and treated like I'm lazy and stupid by peers and profs. Your "mental health staff" I was sent to after a suicidal episode told me my dreams we too lofty and that I would never achieve them with my health conditions. Not something someone who just 12 hours earlier was considering taking her own life really needs to hear. I don't want to have to get mad or blame you, but the truth is ...

Thoughts Pre-Bell Let's Talk 2020

-
I haven’t blogged in a while, but this felt like the best platform for this stream of consciousness. Since last Bell Let’s Talk, I have discovered I had borderline personality disorder, gained some control over my disorder, and became the student I knew I could be at college. Borderline personality disorder makes sense to me; the more I learn about the disorder, the more I learn about myself and about the path to success that works for me. There are still bad days, but I like to believe the good now outweigh the bad, a situation I didn’t deem possible last Bell Let’s Talk day.   Although, I am not sure where my mind set was a year ago and I cringe at the thought of rereading old writing, so do not quote me on my memory of me.               I have always participated in Bell Let’s Talk with reckless abandon and planned to again when I saw the Facebook event pop up a couple weeks ago. I am not capable...

Suicide

-
I could very much be jinxing myself right now. But I figured, if its been a long enough time that I cannot remember what website my blog is on, I should probably update you lovely, caring people. I seem to be coming down from a suicidal episode. Unless its just the weed and once I am sober I will be back on the floor crying. But for now, I seem to be coming back into the world of the living; I showered, brushed my teeth and did the dishes. I know that seems like a basic day, not even an 8th of the chores someone should do daily, but for me (or many people with depression), that is an amazing achievement. Since Thursday evening I have been crying on and off (more on than off) for hours and hours. I have cried in every room in my apartment (including sitting the shower, with the water on) and I got to cry at school in front of all my peers. I did a phenomenal job of convincing myself life was not worth living; that everyone was burdened by me and although they'd be sad I ...
