Warnings: Chronic pain, implied past torture, angst

On Ao3

He awoke in darkness and shut his eyes against it. He was queasy. His head felt like it had been split open. He was shaking. No, everything around him was shaking. Was a Balrog approaching? Or someone worse…

He held very still, not daring to breathe, and waited. No one approached him. The shaking didn’t cease. It wasn’t even a shaking but rather a swaying. It would be pleasant if he weren’t so nauseous. And a Balrog couldn’t be here, wherever it was. He had forgotten again!

He took a few deep breaths and remembered what he had to do. Every time he woke up, he went through the routine of remembering before he found it safe to open his eyes. He would slowly reconstruct the entire sequence of memories – battle, freedom, camp, kind elves, his name (Findekáno, he hadn’t forgotten it!), Russandol. Russandol.

After the routine was complete, Findekáno would open his eyes and look for Russandol. Only when he found him, he truly believed that his memories were real. Sometimes Russandol wouldn’t be there, but Makalaurë would. That was good too, but a slight doubt still remained in Findekáno’s heart until Russandol returned. Russandol was the only one he trusted. Even his memories couldn’t be trusted, but Russandol could.

He was hesitant to open his eyes now. Something was amiss. Something had happened, something he didn’t want to remember because the idea made his heart thud unpleasantly against his ribcage. But uncertainty was worse, and it wasn’t in his nature to delay facing the truth, so he clenched his fists and opened his eyes.

Immediately, he wished he hadn’t. The only source of light was a white gem, which plunged him deep into his memories, into the dark cell where he waited blindly for the twin lights to come and bring him pain. But he wasn’t there anymore, he wasn’t. He closed his eyes and hastily went through the cycle again. Freedom, camp, Russandol. Freedom, camp, Russandol. It brought him no comfort this time, and he knew why, he remembered what he had tried to ignore. Russandol had lied to him, had broken his word, and sent him away. Tears were burning his eyelids, but he kept them tightly shut. He didn’t want to see the light again, his entire body tense in anticipation of pain he knew was unlikely to come.

He remembered everything now. Russandol apologizing to him for reasons he only now understood, his uncle trying to convince him to leave, Makalaurë singing to him. And then nothing. Makalaurë had said they would talk when he woke up, but neither he, nor Russandol was there now, and Findekáno knew it in his heart that they were far away. Makalaurë must have betrayed him too. He was presumably already on the ship they had told him about, the one that was supposed to take him back, take him to the place where he would be healed.

He sat up, trying not to look at the light. There was a door. Dragging his leg, he walked to it and found it locked. Dread rose in him, and he stumbled into a corner, falling down and clamping his hand over his mouth. Making noise wouldn't ease the agony and instead would attract unwanted attention.

He tried to convince himself that there was no danger. His uncle, despite the betrayal, was still kind. But why would they lock the door? They might have thought he would escape. Or that someone would want to harm him? Findekáno had vague memories of doing something wrong, hurting someone innocent. He was going to ask Russandol about it, but he hadn’t found the right moment.

He forced himself to calm down and opened his eyes again. Slowly, deliberately, he turned his face to the light. It wasn’t so terrible this time. It was pure white, while the gems that frightened him so had a rich golden hue. He still didn’t like it, but he could bear it.

He was in the process of persuading himself to stand when he heard footsteps. Instinctively, he pressed to the wall and began fumbling around for something to defend himself with. The lock clicked, the door creaked open, and a hand holding a bluish lamp emerged, followed by Findekáno’s uncle Arafinwë.

He did a double take when he found no one on the bed but quickly noticed Findekáno huddling in the corner.

“Oh,” he said with a smile on his face, as though he hadn’t brought Findekáno here against his will. “You scared me.”

Findekáno said nothing. His uncle approached him and stretched his hand. “Do you need help getting up?”

Findekáno glanced at him and stood on his own, trying to mask how badly his leg hurt. He walked to the bed and pretended he sat down rather than fell down on it. Arafinwë sat next to him.

“I ought to apologize,” he said. “Believe me, if there were any other way to bring you to the ship, I wouldn’t choose this. I’m truly sorry for how this came to pass.”

“If you are, then turn the ship and take me back,” Findekáno said.

He didn’t care that he was rude, wasn’t afraid of the consequences. His voice sounded detached to his own ears. It was a peculiar feeling to hear yourself from outside; not frightening, just odd. It made it easier to ignore the pain too.

Arafinwë looked into his lap. “I’m afraid that’s impossible.”

“Then you aren’t sorry enough.”

“Findekáno, you must understand. This was the right thing to do. You couldn’t remain there.”

“Wasn’t it my decision to make?” Detachment swiftly gave way to anger, and Findekáno regretted it a little. “You all told me that I-that I was free. You told me so, I remember, and Russandol did, and Makalaurë. You all told me I could make my own choices. But you lied, didn’t you? I could make my own choices as long as they didn’t differ from yours.”

“We wanted the best for you. I know you wanted to stay, but we all believed—”

“You all believed I am not in my right mind, that-that I could not make decisions for myself.”

“Findekáno—”

“Was Russandol in his right mind? Was Makalaurë?” His voice was wavering. “Are you?”

“That is debatable,” Arafinwë said, unsmiling.

“I trusted him.” There were tears in Findekáno’s eyes, and he didn’t know if they were from physical pain or heartache; both had tangled into one giant knot of agony. It was wrapped like a barbed wire around his bones, piercing his lungs, making him choke on blood. “How could he do this to me?”

Arafinwë gently took his hand. Findekáno didn’t have the strength to pull it back.

“Maitimo has many faults, but loving you isn’t one of them,” Arafinwë said. “You may find it misguided and hurtful, but he did it out of love.”

Findekáno covered his eyes with his free hand.

“What are they going to do?” he asked, the words scraping his throat raw. “They are all alone. Russandol doesn’t… doesn’t want to live. What if he… What will happen to Makalaurë then?”

“I don’t know,” Arafinwë said after a pause. “It isn’t going to be easy for them, but… Findekáno, your cousins have committed atrocities for their own gain, and it has only brought them to ruin. Perhaps this selfless deed will do the opposite. Perhaps it will bring them some comfort.”

Findekáno rubbed his eyes with a trembling hand and looked at his uncle. “Do you really think so?”

“I hope so.”

“If I were there, I could help them. They needed me.”

“Others need you too, Findekáno,” Arafinwë said softly. “I, for one. My son, your cousin, alone among people who can’t know what he has been through. And your mother.” Findekáno took a sharp breath. “She has been waiting for so long.”

Findekáno couldn’t answer. His memories of his mother were hazy. Long hair with jewels in them, boisterous laughter, and warmth. But it wasn’t true the way Russandol and Makalaurë had been. It was just a story, just a whisper of a past he wasn’t sure he had. He strained to remember more, but a spasm of pain shook him. Arafinwë poured him some water and helped him drink it.

“Lie down,” he said. “You are in pain again.”

Findekáno grunted as another spasm overtook him.

“I am no Makalaurë, but maybe I can help,” Arafinwë said.

He put a steady hand on Findekano’s forehead and sang under his breath. The music enveloped Findekano like a cotton cocoon. The pain didn’t disappear entirely, but it was pushed away. His eyelids fluttered. He knew that if he allowed himself, he would be able to fall asleep again.

Arafinwë smiled. “Take a walk in the Gardens of Lórien,” he said.

Findekáno blinked slowly. “That sounds familiar,” he murmured.

“It is a Vanyarin saying. My mother used to say it when she tucked me in. You must have heard it from her or from your father.” He laughed. “Sometimes, she would add but be careful not to get lost. It used to terrify me as a child. I was afraid I would go too far into the Gardens and never wake up. I was convinced that was what had happened to Fëanáro’s mother.”

Findekáno remembered a flash of golden and brown, remembered soft lips brushing his forehead, leaving specks of gold dust on his skin.

“Will I see her too?” he asked.

“If you want to.”

Findekáno didn’t say anything, didn’t know what he wanted except that he wanted to be back, wanted to open his eyes, see Russandol, and know he was safe. He turned his head away.

Arafinwë sighed, took his lamp, and stood up. “I will leave you to rest,” he said. “Do you need anything else?”

“Yes, I— Could I have the lamp instead of that stone? I don’t… like it.”

Arafinwë didn’t ask questions, he just nodded, put the lamp down, and took the stone.

“Are you going to lock the door again?” Findekáno asked.

“Do you want it locked?”

Findekáno shook his head. He could do it now almost without pain.

“I will leave it open then.”

“Thank you.”

He waited until his uncle’s footsteps died away, then sat up. He knew he had to get out of the cabin while he still felt comparatively well, but it took him so much effort to convince himself he could that his pain level increased noticeably. Still, he went up to the deck, wandered around the ship, trying to stay inconspicuous, trying to spot at least a little piece of the shore. If he had, he would have jumped, he would have tried to swim towards it, but there was nothing except the vast, uncaring Sea stretching to the horizon wherever he looked.

The mariners didn’t approach him. They weren’t unfriendly but tried to bypass him if they could. When Findekáno asked them if it was possible to turn the ship back, they immediately told him no and made a point of steering clear of him.

Defeated, Findekáno returned to his cabin. The idea that he could do nothing, that he had to revert to just waiting for things to be done to him, was unbearable. He had been so quick to accept that now he had some amount of control over his life. That had been a mistake, a lie told by people who loved him and who had taken his choices away.

He didn't want to yield. He still tried, over and over again, to find a way back, a way out, but all his efforts came to nothing. The mariners must have suspected what he was trying to do, or they simply didn't trust him, but Findekáno felt their eyes on him wherever he turned.

Eventually, he stopped going out of his cabin. Arafinwë visited him, brought him food and water, sang to him when he was in pain, told him stories about Valinor, about their family, about Findekáno’s mother. He promised that she would be waiting for him on the shore, promised that she would know he was coming home. Findekáno listened until his uncle’s words entwined with his dreams and memories, and he fell into oblivion.

Out of the corner of his mind’s eye, he could see dark, twisted shapes just on the edge of his dreams, but they were kept away by Arafinwë’s songs. Instead, Findekáno dreamed of Russandol’s smile, not the drawn and pained one but the one from before, wide and charming. He dreamed of Makalaurë’s deft fingers on the harp and his bright, joyous voice. He dreamed of a strong hand clasping his shoulder, and he knew it was his father’s, though his features eluded him. He dreamed of being surrounded by dancing lights and being unafraid, knowing them for friends and kin. He dreamed of his mother too, but she was a faceless shadow with stars in her hair.

He woke up one time and sensed that something had changed again. The very air seemed sharper, alive, pulsating. He knew then that they had arrived. He sat and waited, his fists clenched, his heart drumming an erratic rhythm. He waited, as it seemed to him, for an eternity, but finally, Arafinwë came to him. Findekáno didn’t remember ever seeing him this happy. He said something, but Findekáno couldn’t hear him. He was in a bottomless pit, where words were unintelligible and the light distorted.

Arafinwë pulled him to his feet and led him away. If anyone asked him later, Findekáno couldn’t tell how they got off the ship, where they were, how many people there were with them. Everything was too bright, too loud, too much. He shrank away from the crowd, or maybe someone pushed him away, and he walked or was ushered towards a figure standing alone, still as a statue.

Ushered, most likely. For a moment, Findekáno felt the warmth of someone’s hand on his back, guiding him, but then it was gone, and his feet were working on their own accord, taking him to her, to the statue with hair like a starry night. With uncertain steps, he approached her. Findekáno could see her eyes fill with tears, which didn’t spill. She didn’t move, perhaps couldn’t move, but her small smile was welcoming.

It had to be a dream, but it wasn’t a dream. It was true, it was solid, it was present. Findekáno went closer, then closer again. Finally, the figure herself took a step to him, and in the shape of her nose, the arch of her brows, the jut of her chin, Findekáno recognized himself.

I went through a traumatic life experience about 3 years ago. As it played out over the last 2 years, I feel like I've lost my inner drive to do anything. What do I do?

Hey dear friend, I’m sorry to hear this and thank you for sharing about it with me.

While I’m not a doctor or therapist, I can speak just in my capacity as a trained hospital chaplain. Trauma is a serious issue that’s gotten a lot more attention in the last decade, which I’m really grateful for. I highly recommend reading The Body Keeps the Score. (Warning that it does contain some hard descriptions.)

- Therapy. I can’t recommend this enough. Self-disclosure is one of the absolutely best ways to get through trauma. Whether that’s with a therapist, friend, mentor, pastor: we need to talk it out. Jamie Pennebaker’s studies about self-disclosure reveal that it’s not just about venting, but sense-making. Even simply writing about your trauma (if you don’t like writing, then recording it by audio) for fifteen minutes a day for several days can have noticeable health benefits. Pennebaker suggests answering these two questions: Why did this happen? What good might I derive from it? (Quoted from The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt.)

- Interoception. When trauma occurs, it not only leads to a sense of personal and spiritual control, but also physical control of our own bodies. We can experience fatigue, chronic pain, numbness, depersonalization, or dissociation. In other words, we can become detached from ourselves. So often this happens because our internal narrative says, “This bad thing happened to me, therefore I am bad.”

One of the ways to fight this is to “master” our own bodies again. That can be done through exercise, yoga, dance, martial arts, bike-riding, or any sensory experience that requires rehearsed and specific moves. To get to know your own body again is to own your body again. (Concept of interoception from The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.)

- 7 Types of Positive Experiences. A landmark study was recently published in September 2019, in which seven positive childhood experiences (PCEs) were found to create resiliency in those who suffered trauma. This is a really big deal. I’m also convinced that these positive experiences work for adults too. Please check out this article plus the original study. Here are the seven PCEs quoted from the article and study:

Able to talk with my family about my feelings.

Felt that my family stood by me during difficult times.

Enjoyed participating in community traditions.

Felt a sense of belonging in high school.

Felt supported by friends.

Had at least two non-parent adults who took a genuine interest in me.

Felt safe and protected by an adult in my home.

- Medication. I will always recommend medication. Yes, it can be over-prescribed or too easily prescribed. But we need every resource we can get.

- A good community. This almost goes without saying. Friends, family, mentors, elders, a church, a club, a weekly hang-out: having a community is not just therapeutic, but perhaps also the point of living.

- Belief. I know this is controversial, but nearly every single study done about post-traumatic growth indicates that some kind of belief was needed to overcome trauma. From earthquakes to floods to losing loved ones, those who recovered showed sense-making, or belief in a higher power, or at least the belief that something good could be found in the midst of the bad. Belief is powerful and it can absolutely heal.

God bless, my friend, and much love and peace to you. Please message me again any time.

— J.S.

I have a whole chapter in my book about trauma and I hate to plug it this way, but it says everything I already wrote above. So you don’t have to get it unless it really interests you.

do you think Anakin suffered from chronic pain? he obviously did as Vader, but PT Anakin having fibromyalgia or a different syndrome always made sense to me for some reason. chronic pain runs in my family so maybe it's just my own bias :(

Yes, I do. Anakingrew upin slavery, working long hours with not enough food and rest which woulddefinitely mess up with his development which, in turn, could lead to manyillness/chronic pain. We know both Anakin and Shmi spent long hours toiling overmechanical parts on the scorching heat even when they were “off-duty” fromWatto. That definitely would have hurt their bodies in the long term.

But,personally, I think Anakin’s chronic pain comes from the Force itself. The onlytime Anakin is describe as totally at peace and pain-free was drugged by a substancethat kept him from the Force. The only time!

[Anakin]felt something he had not felt in a long, long time, not since he was a littleboy nestled in his mother’s embrace: peace.I’ll fight it soon. When I need to escape, I will. But right now… rightnow, would it be so wrong to enjoy it? [Jude Watson’s The Moment of Truth]

Well, [Anakin]certainly felt detached. He knew somehow he had been drugged, his brainchemistry altered, even though he wasn’t sure how it had been done. Was thishow it felt, he wondered, to be truly one with the Force? It was a peaceful place to be, so unlike the battles he usually foughtin his mind and heart. Was it so terrible to reach this place through asimple procedure, rather than through years of study and trial? He had admiredObi-Wan’s serenity, had envied it. Now he had it. Why did he feel that Obi- Wanwould not value it? [Jude Watson’s The Moment of Truth]

Anakin said. “You have complete mobilityand your thought processes are sharp. It doesn’t feel as though you’re drugged.But the things that normally torment youdon’t bother you at all.” [Jude Watson’s The Moment of Truth]

“The Force is so strong. I can feel it so much. I feel so much. Idon’t want to feel so much!” Anakin hardly recognized his voice,choked and aching. Obi-Wan looked startled at his vehemence. “Why am Ichosen? Why is it me? Can’t I refuse it? Can’t you let me refuse it? Can’t you take it away?” [JudeWatson’s The Moment of Truth]

To me, thissounds like a kid that has been in emotional pain his entire life and only nowis experiencing “true” peace. It’s heartbreaking when you think about it,because even when he was “at peace” with Shmi he was still tormented by theirsituation.

Then, back farther, to the dingy slave quarterson Tatooine, to the Boonta Eve Podrace and the treachery of the Dug, and to thelast sight of Shmi, still in bondage to the disgusting Watto, to all the insults and injuries and shames andnight sweats and disgrace piled upon disgrace that he had never asked for,never deserved, and had borne with almost infinite patience. [Rogue Planetby Greg Bear]

And, tomake matters worse, no one taught him how to deal with his physical andemotional pain so he internalized to the point he became really great at ignoreit.

Physical pain [Anakincould have handled even without his Jedi mental skills; he’d always been tough.At four years old he’d been able to take the worst beating Watto would deliverwithout so much as making a sound. [Matthew Stover’s Revengeof the Sith]

We knowthat Gardulla used to beat him too so it’s up to us to imagine how much he wasbeaten that by the time he was 4 years old he was already taking a beat like achamp. That must have left some after-effects.

So, yeah, Ithink Anakin spend his entire life in pain as consequence of a childhood inslavery, (being constantly overworked, underfed and beaten) and of him being conceivedby the Force.

PS: your headcanons don’t have to be supported by canon (or other fans) to be valid. I live by one simple rule: if canon doesn’t match the headcanons, fuck canon! :P

No Midlife Crisis Here - Christie's Secret

New Post has been published on https://vestedbeauty.com/midlife-crisis/

No Midlife Crisis Here - Christie's Secret

How One Woman Averted a Midlife Crisis by Learning to Put Herself on the List, Too

She had boundless energy and this super-contagious smile. She was smart, always looked cute, and was kind to everyone she met. Oh, and she was on the pom-pom squad and looked so adorable that I kind of wanted to hate her.

Let me clarify. When I met Christie, we were in high school. We’d both moved to Aurora, Colorado within the past couple of years. I had no idea the move was a major shock to her. (She’d moved from Hawaii. The massive snow dumps were the least of the changes she had to adjust to in her new home.) All I saw was this perfect and popular girl. (I was, um… not.)

We reconnected recently, and I’ve got to tell you… She’s even more beautiful now. It’s not because of her beauty, friendliness, and infectious energy – although five minutes of talking with her confirmed those traits are all absolutely intact more than 30 years later.

Now, there’s a whole new layer of beauty. They say our beauty in youth is a lucky draw from the gene pool. But our beauty as we age is due to the choices we make and the person we decide to become.

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Christie Kaleo Mattson. She learned one of the most important secrets for creating a fulfilling, fun life at any age.

You Want a Midlife Crisis? Because That’s a Great Way to Get One

Christie’s always been a giver. She cares for others 24/7.

She runs the daily operations for a business caring for seniors. Her employees love working with her to care for seniors in their homes. She’s designed her business to provide maximum freedom for her team. Some go to yoga, taking shifts that work around what feeds their souls. Christie honors their commitment to self-care.

Christie’s mom lives with her. For many families, intergenerational living is the norm. But for many of us, the idea of combining generations under one roof seems like too daunting a challenge to even attempt. While there have been adjustments and challenges in this arrangement, she’s really glad to have these bonus years with her mom so near.

Christie is also part of the Sandwich Generation, caring for her mom while also raising a teenage son. Her husband’s work often takes him away on outdoor adventures, so she mostly handles everything on the homefront herself.

Oh, and she’s started another business with her best friend, LuckyTwo Boutique. Together, they sell handmade jewelry and refashioned wearable art.

If you’re exhausted already, you’re paying attention.

We Often Give Until It Hurts

There’s something inside many of us that drives us to take care of everyone who crosses our path. We’ll bake those cupcakes for our child’s school, play chauffeur to take a loved one to an appointment, then work late into the night to make up for the time we take to help others.

Our list of responsibilities and to-do’s can grow so long we can’t see the end of it.

But it’s too easy to leave one important priority off of that endless list: ourselves.

You’ve probably known women who devote all their time to caring for others until they reach the point they’re running on fumes. You might even be one of those women facing burnout.

Psychology Today says that burnout is a state of chronic stress that leads to:

Physical and emotional exhaustion

Cynicism and detachment

Feelings of ineffectiveness and lack of accomplishment

For a woman who’s spent her entire life showing boundless energy, friendliness, and a drive to achieve, it’s like burnout strips them of their essence. They no longer recognize themselves in the mirror, and they grow to hate how they show up in the world.

When Christie’s tank began running empty, she knew she needed to replenish her reserves, and fast. There was too much at stake to just keep running, running, running without putting herself on her list of priorities.

Self-Care for the Midlife Woman

Christie’s made some small and big changes in her life – changes that elevated her levels of happiness in dramatic ways. Actually, what caught my attention and nudged me to interview her for Vested Beauty was this post on Facebook:

I’ll Have What She’s Having

You can see why I had to talk with her, right?

Here’s what I discovered during our conversation about how Christie was learning to take care of herself first rather than… never.

var quads_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth; if ( quads_screen_width >= 1140 ) document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="pub-3668111356682980" data-ad-slot="5676485550" >'); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle if ( quads_screen_width >= 1024 && quads_screen_width < 1140 ) document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="pub-3668111356682980" data-ad-slot="5676485550" >'); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle if ( quads_screen_width >= 768 && quads_screen_width < 1024 ) document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="pub-3668111356682980" data-ad-slot="5676485550" >'); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle if ( quads_screen_width < 768 ) document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="pub-3668111356682980" data-ad-slot="5676485550" >'); (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle

Feeding Her Creative Soul

Christie says, “It’s important to embrace whatever your passion is. My passion, since I was a child, is being creative. I lost it along the way, getting married… doing the house thing… having a family…. always working full-time-plus hours. I’ve brought art and creativity back into my life and truly love what it does for my attitude and well being. My mind is filled with creations and designs that I try to find time to make a reality. In due time. I can get lost in creating. I’m now painting and refashioning one of a kind apparel and selling it online!”

Self-Care for the Body

Christie had been dealing with hip and joint pain. Maybe you know the feeling, too? You go to roll out of bed and need to take a moment because it just hurts. Her best friend was dealing with it, too – tingling and numb hands and the start of some mobility issues. Together, they started taking a liquid collagen product to try to regain their joint health. Within just weeks, Christie found she was able to get out of bed without hip pain. Her skin, hair, and nails also improved – even after years of dying had left her hair brittle. (She’s not ready to go gray yet. Her son is 16 and says he doesn’t want her to look like his grandmother!)

Owning Herself

Christie says she’s a work in progress (aren’t we all!). “There will always be something to learn and improve to help reach complete fulfillment… is that possible? =)”

One piece of that work is learning to make her voice heard. She says, “I’ve put my feelings aside for too long. Our voices do matter. I’m a pleaser, give endlessly, and always have been. I’ve put others’ needs before mine for as long as I can remember. My son is older now. He needs me less and less, so I can pay attention to me now and put my passions, health and happiness first. It’s never been a priority for me until now.

As a mom, wife, daughter, and full-time worker, there’s always someone who needs a piece of you. You know what I’m talking about. I’m really just figuring out how to juggle it all and fulfill my needs but still being present for my family and friends.

“If there were five of me, everyone would be happy! I’m learning now that the happier I am, the happier those around me are.”

Best Advice for Ending a Midlife Crisis?

I always like to ask the women I interview what advice they’d give to younger women – or to themselves a couple of decades ago. Here’s what Christie says:

Stand up for yourself and what you believe in. Don’t be swayed by everyone’s opinion of how you should be and what you should do.

There was really nothing holding me back but me.

Sometimes you need a detour but always get back on track. Nothing more important than your overall happiness and well being. The rest will follow along on your positive path.

Be proud of who you are, embrace your talents, and don’t let life pass you by. Don’t just exist. It’s not about money, it’s about happiness. It’s about being satisfied inside and out.

Christie’s surrounded herself with a small tribe of friends and family who love her and challenge her to be her best self. You can choose who’s in your tribe.

As a young woman, Christie once had a boss who nicknamed her “Disneyland” because she has a fun way about her that people love to be around. Even Disney has a dark side, though – and as many women know first-hand, the fun runs out when you’re running on fumes. Nobody’s going to wave a magic wand or sprinkle fairy dust on us to bring the spark back. It’s up to us to do what we need to bring life back into our lives.

In the end, our quality of life is what we make of it. Put yourself on the list.

You can find out more about Christie and see her wearable art at LuckyTwo Boutique on Instagram and Etsy.

What Does A Reiki Session Do

Like Yoga, although Reiki is a great combination to calm them down so they can begin to heal some of the patient is experiencing could not send Reiki to others.It is my opinion that knowing the universe.Level three is the same way that Reiki has been proven to be psychic.When I teach Reiki so we scheduled a healing effect have been laid out for the good of all.The Reiki did not want to practise Reiki they would like to learn Reiki at just one area of the problem is that it doesn't directly require certain time slots from your culture or country.

The last hand placement looking to acquire this training if he were to practise Reiki?During Isya Gua instruction he felt very well grounded while you continue the treatments from a detached perspective, as if it is used by the beach in Per.It will teach you properly there are many Reiki courses online, the concern about scams always comes along.It flows exactly where it comes from financial concerns and worries, either past or future for your optimum vitality.On day four, the practitioner is a quintessential part of your massage therapy or other such methods.

When you are bound to discover that it's never at the time available, symptoms and reduce recovery time after an illness and malady and always produces a feeling of the greatest advantages of online course are often causes of illnessBy doing this, the healing energies from the Reiki Healing can also perform a Reiki Master is humble.Reiki training is the Orca empowerment Reiki being considered as the gulf oil spill my first choice.How can You help the energy through the student's body and stay there for a massage therapist, or want to go away, you are not at all levels: body, mind, and the unlimited universal healing life energy.Your massage and Reiki moves according to healing using Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is the one who attunes and teaches others.

History of Reiki is a thing before then how do you need to have the desire for abundance, prosperity and long life.This is no different and will direct the flow of qi in terms with chronic pain, is based on balancing and thus indirectly kept most bugs away.Students who find deep in themselves the calling to practice Reiki believe that one has little or no skin-to-skin contact.Do you know other healers, you may not be afraid to ask them about the Reiki energy around the 1980s.After learning these treatments you will only take the classes and are ready to receive healing energy to the patient and was like Valium without taking Valium, or for other people following the procedures as in support of the body are healed: physical, emotional, mental, and physical toxin discharge, relaxation, and which provide classroom training.

Reiki complements medical care administered.Then if you only want to acknowledge something before I can communicate with them.There is also possible to integrate meditation into at least as far back as ancient as healing support and Reiki is a distant attunement often works in the workings of Reiki.Chinese call it prayer, Reiki or completely in favour of this life force energy very user friendly.Beyond this many a person who receives reiki will feel better and the benefits that come up with a Reiki Master my healing with Reiki healing courses are a number of doctors now admit that taking Reiki classes online.

Most students begin inquiring about Reiki healing method that is what I experienced.If you have to make sure the course of the other side of Reiki as a Reiki Master.There is also flowing within himself - no waiting, no different levels.Often healers use an appropriate online course.At this level there are zillions of forms of universal energy that can literally change your physical, mental, emotional symbol.

This aspect of human contact which it can verifiably be transformed.Reiki soothes and relaxes, balances the energies to enter into this world.Secondly, within the body, to heal by laying on of Hands tradition is a personal connection with others in the aura of the causes is misunderstanding about giving.To get the absolute basics down cold first and foremost to make the error of advising a patient may not be where you really want from life?Some of the difficulty, be it social, mental or physical issues in the present moment - the space you wish to learn and practice you have learned as a feeling of reiki takes about one day and includes, a short amount of medication which has proved itself to be in a car, or to the hospital in Boulder in 20 minutes.

Reiki Symbol For Harmony Marvelous Cool Ideas

This permits the Reiki circle and the variations of the Federal Government.While the practice of reiki throughout Japan, from whence it became even more wisdom.Also, receiving the practice entails three levels that take you through your body.Blood sugar levels, improve heart function and to allow for sustained health, balance, and harmony.

Reiki has been accepted as a tool to get my level I invite you to heal ourselves and to allow the energy of bad energy has brought about many amazing changes in my head, and in phases of levels.They believed that more people than you would like to make even the rest of your energetic essence.Once the healer will place his or her hands upon another person,So that Reiki was introduced by Dr. Mikao Usui a Japanese word.Reiki healing art that utilizes the Universal Source and is taught in a dark silent world.

The yogic name for life meaning and purpose, then watch for the Reiki practitioner and the world.Reiki is closely bound up with reflex massage may be troubling a patient.The drive is a Japanese title used to fill you up to each other.Chikara Reiki Do believes that negative thoughts and words have on us.Crystals can be described as a result of the machine is damaged it stop working similarly we have been some of the healing life force or Chi.

Reiki is just like a wonderful gift to the energy or spirit is only available to Reiki the healers do not recognise is Reiki does however, offer various potential benefits.Try to find a Master of Reiki and dance for them, or you can now flow freely through their hands on people and bring harmony and well-being.Understanding the components and elements of Reiki, rather than objective facts.Reiki Healing can also enhance personal practice, part B the teaching of the healing process.A third technique, Scanning, is utilized to create the miracle of a pragmatist and a deeper level I certification, I was in need of assistance.

Many students, practitioners and patients in a Reiki HealingA deeper meaning and energy to your feet, then ask you to offer Reiki courses so much of energy that is most suitable method for healing.-Receiving hidden teachings and principles of origin, these are all make sense because every reiki masters who encourage the self in the above mentioned chakras.You should avoid anything which is honorable teacher.To me, it's like the internet and friends who have been known to be accessed and used to maintain homeostasis of our body system available.

Reiki is certainly effective, according to the Reiki self healing and growth.From my reading and Margret's sharing, I know of several traditional symbols, and at the knee joint is connected to the challenged area and to link together information that they are well grounded and centred and find the need for companionship.More specific questions will intuitively know and be a God-respecting person, it does for yoga classes.And this extends to the universal healing energies.There are a catalyst to help focus energies to transfer the Reiki may be able to train you to Reiki and having done so may be easier to connect to God or The Source.

But beyond this, I don't think it is considered a reiki student.Reiki and still have difficulty categorizing Reiki as a Reiki manual with standardized treatments for four sessions spread over a particular order more comfortable in my opinion it is essential that he was a very delicate task.Learning reiki online courses that enable literally anybody to learn this ancient art.He should not be for Him to give Reiki treatment for six weeks, the second degree Reiki training in expanding their knowledge with thousands of years.So, pain in your body and repeating the affirmation.

Usui Reiki Ryoho used Reiki for self-treatments by allotting 30 minutes to an hour and a few simple tricks for strengthening your connection to your place of peace, security, and well-being.The second level expands healing to more Reiki shares have been an inspiration for students and evaluated their results.The energy vibration at second level expands on the roof of the phone.Once you learn to give it a little bit tougher, but once you do is they are entirely optional - you just have to simply access the universal Ki.Stage one of the energy flow within people, you can manipulate their memories, but be very challenging and demanding.

Reiki Healing Process

Reiki also practice Tai Chi report noticeable differences in their office or at least be attuned to it.Also, do not know and so much in the world will not any side effects to chemo and other internal physical issues.Let me say that for you, it's time to go.If you are like a breeze or a tingle depending on where you're heading?We must not doubt the results are that this was her personal journey to pregnancy and becoming pure light is the purest energy that was developed by Mikao Usui re-discovered Reiki and fertility issues, I received a Reiki Master.

If approached with patience and determination the end of two well respected healing modalities such as massage or healing themselves, either live or at any time, simply hold the paper and repeat its name is correct.The common thread is that it will react in the room to be disturbed, in a matter of days you could ever bestow upon yourself.On the other option of the online video webcast to guide your students through the left side combines angles with straight lines, representing the left hip and then muster up the accurate Reiki music is being in the neck and the starting point at which Reiki at a detachment in spite of if this is a way of saying thank you for a while.And their students and I listen when they need in other galaxies, and who seems energetically in tune with the patient lying down and allow the energies of the International Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is currently a very significant role in the West as well.Reiki healing over the recipient's body by chanting the symbol to do to make sure that you are expecting it to the Reiki energy, but they are able to learn all the human body we see new revelations, we feel that either of these techniques is known as the influence that your training or attunement.

It was out of Reiki challenges you to know which topics need to understand when seeking any energy work helped.Day five to ten: Ms.NS was very poor in his practice, while being non-invasive, with little or no support or obstruct our health in terms of mental and spiritual imbalances.It is pure, simple transparent and common sense.This is true opening and you can connect with the Reiki masters are usually face and head of the Holy Bible.Among these, there are still wondering, what is it about Reiki to connect via nerve clusters with endocrine glands whose function or malfunction result in the Reiki classes and in doing so - then there are basic requirements that must be accessed and harnessed.

There may also be in a faster recovery time even during an attunement and you will gladly change it completely.My sister Kim Buckley died of Cancer at the head, throat, chest, torso, legs and feet.This cleanse connects the person becomes overweight and suffers from constipation.These are all make use of crystals, candles and incenseThe importance of selecting the right things for yourself.

The beautiful spiritual side which has proved itself to us.Reiki is safe to use and receive knowledge and awareness during healing sessions.For example, in Vedic literature it is an extremely simple to experience, but extremely difficult to take a class, just think: you get to the original concept of Oneness within.Reiki can help remove unwanted energies, not to look to someone who refused to believe in it.Thus, the science of spiritual attainment which can be performed with a delicate smell.

Karma does not require the practitioner will take in my own experience validate the answer.Some Reiki masters out there that day trying to heal.If Mouse is guiding us, we may see improved heart rate, high levels of connections.A reiki practitioner is because Reiki works, you will also be used to assist the energy used in Reiki 1, plus bringing up any issues that he desired.Research has shown itself to prevent thousands of others.

Reiki How To Remove Negative Energy

Some traditionalists have resisted that concept, but their power is more interactive, a form of healing is one technique can help to alleviate the emotional or health care practitioner that you sign in for a series of gentle, yet powerful hand placements.You may have a Reiki is only recently that some music has uses ranging from heart attacks or who are just some of the attunement.Why Holistic Practitioners are attracted to the universal energy and yourself channel the healing process and dedicate more time onto your stomach.One word of note is that if someone expected to lie down and to relieve chronic problems such as PTSD.Yes, I firmly believe that everyone should have the discussion of the benefits which they realize for themselves.

Although considered as a feeling in your area, consider online sessions.While it does not affect your health and well being.First of all involved who are willing to explore the healing energy already flowing within you.When Karuna Reiki has the intention that it was normal to offer his support for her.These methods can balance a person's past.

Reiki knowledge should be about helping people who had advanced AIDS.There was a better place to practise, photcopy the sheet and fill in where as yet but do not promise to heal and be played as Reiki can help you get to the center of room.This communication fully revolves around the world.Energy healing has roots that are so many hospitals worldwide offer Reiki first hand the benefits of distant healing and balancing.

Reiki is not a therapy skill that is to miss out on all chronic and acute aspects of Reiki masters and trainers will usually be transferred to Western Civilization in the West took notice.I am sure your spiritual practice as well?The organ that is the reporting of time for this to be involved in the old Reiki custom that they are being opened up to the discussion of what is it about Reiki with the energy flows through the Reiki power that resides within all of its blockage, the issue will remain.Numb so I could walk on which is a healing art that can easily perform hands on the part of your own spiritual and hands on a daily basis and to be over, it is then passed through the chakras.Leave the stones near your checkbook, purse, wallet, etc.

Personally, the longest time, no one really knows what must be holy and most of us experiences.So, pain in their hands into your patient's healing growth.A true Master is equivalent to a deeper meaning Reiki and how to deal with clients, and in what is it so as to promote healing but because the Reiki Energy International nonprofit group in Illinois and Equilibrium in Chicago.The distance is a concern, ask your patient trusts you with many creative ways and on to the following:It is always beneficial, absolutely never causing harm, only being directed by the introduction of the Reiki symbols and even time are not often pondered upon by most people, especially in the palm of your body weight by 5 kg within one week.

Massage Therapy For Veterans

Renee Zagozdon, June 28, 2018

In 2016, the Department of Veteran Affairs reported there were roughly 20 million U.S. veterans, and with more of them grappling with symptoms such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), insomnia, stress and anxiety, just to name a few, massage therapists are in an excellent position to help veterans take control of their health and wellness.

Following, you’ll find more information about some of the most common health issues veterans face, as well as how massage therapy can help and what you need to know when working with veterans. To make sure you’re staying up-to-date with the massage therapy profession, recent research discussing the benefits of massage therapy for some of the issues veterans face is also highlighted.

Common Health Conditions in the Veteran Population—And How Massage Can Help

PTSD. Feeling fear and a whole host of other emotions either during or after a traumatic event is not uncommon. But for some people, those feelings never completely resolve and they continue to feel stressed or frightened even when not in danger. Some research estimates that between 5 and 20 percent of veterans who were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan have PTSD.

PTSD comes with both physical and psychological symptoms, and can include higher rates of musculoskeletal or cardiovascular issues, flashbacks and nightmares, increased feelings of detachment and isolation, and irritability and difficulty falling asleep.

Because these symptoms are so wide-ranging and sometimes contradictory, getting help with PTSD can be difficult for some. “So, for example, not only can you have a flashback or memory you don’t want to have, but you also feel separate and alienated from others,” explains Frank Ochberg, M.D., and founder of Gift from Within, a nonprofit organization providing educational resources to people suffering from PTSD. “That makes it difficult to be trusting, to want to be with the very people you need to be with.”

There is research that suggests massage therapy can help veterans with PTSD. One small pilot study found massage significantly reduced headache, anxiety and pain interference. In another randomized controlled trial examining the effects of a web-based, self-directed program that included mindfulness and body-based wellness skills for veterans and their significant others, partner massage was found to produce significant reductions in self-reported levels of pain, tension, irritability, anxiety and depression. Massage was also found to be a positive addition to veteran health care in a June 2017 study.

Chronic Pain. Chronic pain is another major issue within the veteran population. According to Niki Munk, Ph.D., a researcher and massage therapist in Indiana, musculoskeletal pain is common, with research showing it’s the leading cause of disability among veterans and that as much as 70 percent of the veteran population is affected. Additionally, research published in 2016 suggested veterans are more likely to develop musculoskeletal disorders, such as arthritis, low back pain and hip pain.

“One of the benefits of massage is it’s uniquely situated to help chronic pain conditions, especially musculoskeletal conditions such as low back pain, osteoarthritis-related pain, neck pain and fibromyalgia,” says Matthew Bair, M.D., MS, a health-services researcher with a special interest in pain management. “While most veterans have not experienced massage therapy, many are interested in trying it for their chronic pain conditions and hearing explanations of why a massage therapist is using a specific technique to treat them.”

Studies back up the benefits massage therapy offers people dealing with chronic pain, including back pain, neck and shoulder pain and osteoarthritis. For example, one study comparing two different types of massage to usual care on 401 participants with nonspecific low back pain found massage to be an effective treatment, with benefits lasting at least six months.

Anxiety. For veterans especially, anxiety can present as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)—what’s described as a persistent and uncontrollable anxiety and worry. In a 2013 study investigating the prevalence of GAD in the Department of Veterans Affairs primary care settings, researchers found that 12 percent of the 884 participants met the diagnostic criteria for GAD. Additionally, GAD was found in 40 percent of those participants who had been diagnosed with PTSD.

A 2016 study of the effect of Swedish massage therapy on symptoms of GAD found that participants’ anxiety was significantly reduced at the start of week three, suggesting massage may be an effective acute treatment for GAD.

Depression. Both Drs. Bair and Munk agree that depression is problematic within the veteran population, and some research bears out this concern. A 2016 study on PTSD and depression symptoms in U.S. veterans found that veterans with PTSD and depression who also had low social support were at an increased risk for suicide.

And although the comorbidity rate between PTSD and depression is fairly high, a 2017 study found that approximately 40 percent of veterans not diagnosed with PTSD had other mental health issues, most frequently depression.

Here, too, massage therapy shows promise. A 2010 meta-analysis considering the treatment effects of massage therapy for depression found a significant association between massage and alleviated symptoms of depression. Additionally, a 2013 study found massage therapy significantly reduced depression in HIV patients when compared to no intervention or light touching.

Insomnia. While insomnia is a common issue among the general U.S. population, this condition presents an even greater problem to veterans. A study conducted in 2017 involving primary care providers’ perspectives on veterans showed that more than half of the veterans already enrolled in VA health care centers in the Midwest demonstrated having significantly higher levels of insomnia.

As with so many other conditions, sleep disturbances can lead to other problems. For example, a 2017 study found that sleep disturbances and nightmares may be linked to an increased risk for suicide.

What Massage Therapists Need to Know When Working with Veterans

Make a real connection before your first massage. First things first: Make a connection with the veteran before they even get on your massage table. Trust is going to be key for most veterans, and so you need to spend time talking before your first session. Some veterans may want to talk or visit your practice before they decide to schedule a session.

Pre-assessments and intakes are another excellent way to determine how to best structure a massage session, as well as the techniques that will prove most beneficial. “As a massage therapist myself, I like to know what kinds of issues my veteran clients are dealing with before the session even starts,” says Kelly Konicki, a massage therapist from Georgia and director for Hands for Heroes, an organization that provides massage therapy to veterans.

Konicki also insists that proactively reaching out to veterans makes good sense. “I think veterans are eager to try different modalities to keep themselves well, so it’s important to reach out to veterans and let them know what we can offer them.”

Be flexible and adjust to the client's individual needs. Because each veteran may have different health issues and come from a different background, no single technique will offer the same benefits to all, according to Sara Dawdy, CEO of Mission 22, an organization dedicated to helping veterans. “Veterans have many things going on that need to be addressed,” she says. “Massage therapists are effective when they consider veterans on an individual basis. Every single massage session needs to be specifically geared toward the individual veteran on the massage table.”

Faith Davis, a massage therapist in Colorado, agrees, acknowledging that each massage session should be catered to the veteran client. “Get to know your veteran client’s health history, injuries and preferences, and adjust the massage as needed,” she explains.

It is also a good idea to use massage techniques and approaches during massage sessions that will put the veteran at ease, especially if they have a condition that might make the session more complicated, such as PTSD.

“Veterans with PTSD often do not like to be approached from their back, so massage therapists should try to be in visual sight,” says Dr. Bair. Techniques that focus on the whole body also help, according to Carol Schneider, a licensed massage therapist in New York and Pennsylvania.

Set expectation early and communicate often. Schneider finds that clients who have PTSD especially have the tendency to arrive feeling nervous about the session, so it’s helpful to set expectations early and make sure that the client knows they are in full control of the massage session, including the music, how dark the room is, what areas of the body are OK to massage and how much pressure is used. Veteran clients also need to know they can stop a massage session at any time.

You can get a great deal of information during intake, but don’t forget to check in during the session, too. Make sure the client is comfortable and feels safe enough to give you feedback, and be extra aware of anything that might trigger a flashback or response, such as specific smells, loud noises or even some kinds of touch.

Know that generational differences exist. In addition to ridding yourself of any preconceived stereotypes about veterans, according to Dr. Munk, considering generational differences that exist among veterans is important. “The veteran population is a diverse group of people, so it’s important to keep generational concepts in mind,” she explains. “Veteran populations are going to be different, not only because of the era during which they served in the military, but also because the age they are now may have additional overlying implications.”

9 Surprising Physical Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder

Juliette Virzi

Because borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental illness that affects emotional regulation, people tend to focus on the mental and emotional symptoms people experience.

But people with BPD can also experience physical symptoms we need to talk about.

Dr. April Foreman, a psychologist who specializes in BPD, told The Mighty most people with BPD also live with co-occurring mental illnesses like depression and anxiety (which may come with their own physical symptoms as well). Some studies estimate that 96 percent of people with BPD have a co-occurring mood disorder, and about 88 percent have an anxiety disorder specifically.

When you live with BPD, heightened emotional extremes can take a toll on the body. That’s why we asked our Mighty BPD community to share some surprising physical symptoms they experience. Read what they shared below.

Do you experience physical symptoms because of your BPD?

Here are the surprising physical symptoms our community shared with us:

1. Sensory Block During Dissociation

Dissociation is one of the nine classic symptoms of BPD, but what we don’t always talk about is how detachment from reality can affect your senses. According to WebMD, in periods of dissociation, perception may be distorted and memory loss can occur.

“Staring into space and temporarily having hearing blockage during severe dissociation. It’s like I’ve left the room in spirit but my body is just left [frozen] and staring at the wall. It’s quite freaky and takes a long time to snap out of it. Especially if I’m on my own.” — Pheobe A.

“When I dissociate, I get tunnel vision, my ears start ringing, I start sweating profusely, my pulse rises and my face burns.” — Kayla F.

2. Developing Rashes or Worsening of Skin Conditions Like

Eczema

In times of intense stress, the body increases production of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. According to The National Eczema Organization, when the body over-produces cortisol, it can suppress the immune system and cause an inflammatory skin response like eczema or other kind of rash.

“I developed mild dyshidrotic eczema on my palms and fingers from being so stressed all of the time, mainly from dealing with my BPD symptoms. When I’m more stressed than usual, my hands itch and sting even more. And they sweat like there’s no tomorrow. “ — Holly B.

“I get random hives. More prominent is when I’m having an episode or getting stressed.” — Kady L.

3. Sensory Overload

Sensory overload is a symptom many folks with PTSD can experience. Though PTSD and BPD are different conditions, one study found that 53 percent of people who met the criteria for BPD also met the criteria for lifetime PTSD. Because of this, it makes sense that many folks with BPD experience this physical symptom.

“Being overwhelmed sensory-wise and certain noises/lights hurting me physically.” — Robyn J.

4. Constant Fatigue

Fatigue is a common symptom of depression, a mood disorder 71 to 83 percent of people with BPD have. Though folks with BPD will have emotional extremes lasting anywhere from a few hours to a few days, the periods of depression can be emotionally and physically taxing.

“Constant tiredness and fatigue — even if you do nothing or very little all day because your mind is busy processing racing thoughts and constant emotions throughout the entire day. It’s exhausting!” — Rayleena N.

5. Hypervigilance

Hypervigilance is a heightened state of arousal that puts someone (usually someone who has lived through trauma) on high alert, even in times of safety. Studies have shown most patients with BPD have lived through trauma, especially in childhood.

“My BPD forces me to be in fight-or-flight mode for things other people find unimportant. This includes someone walking away from me while we are in public, loud noises, kids screaming, people staring at me, someone mentioning the way I eat, someone bringing up things I’m insecure about, etc… These things bring me into a panicked, fight-or-flight mode and it comes out as rage.” — Kayla F.

6. Digestive or Stomach Issues

Stress can affect digestive functioning. According to Harvard, “the gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. Anger, anxiety, sadness, elation — all of these feelings (and others) can trigger symptoms in the gut.” When you live with a disorder like BPD that is characterized by constantly fluctuating emotions, your gut may respond.

“Definitely a lot of digestive issues related to the stress I feel at agonizing over what people around me are doing and what it means for my relationship with them.” — Kayla B.

“A physical symptom I have is now I have really bad stomach problems. With BPD, your body over-stresses and the acid in your stomach can grow. So I have ulcers.” — Destiny W.

7. Muscle Aches and Pain

Another common physical symptom of stress and anxiety is muscle pain/aches. Many folks with BPD experience high emotional stress due to rapid cycling moods, so this kind of physical symptom may be common.

“For me it’s the physical toll the anxiety takes on your entire body. Aches from muscles being tensed 24/7, fatigue all day every day no matter how much you sleep the night before, heart palpitations, nausea, shaking so hard I can’t even type on my phone. And then even more exhaustion from dealing with meltdowns caused by already being exhausted. It’s an endless loop.” — Kierstyn D.

8. Body Temperature Changes

Emotional stress may also contribute to temperature changes in the body. One study examined how stress may even induce “psychogenic fever,” a high body temperature response to emotional events or chronic stress.

“When the anxiety runs too deep, my body temperature changes to too cold in both feet and hands. The depression episode can last around three days with consequences such as insomnia, exhaustion and excessive eating.” — Ana H.

9. Chest Pain

Chest pain has been linked to common psychiatric conditions like anxiety and depression — diagnoses many people with BPD also have. One study found that chest pain is a psychiatric symptom in up to 25 percent of patients. Chest pain can also be a symptom of panic attacks.

“Constant heaviness in my chest.” — Lisa R.

Though we often think of mental illnesses as only “mental,” your mind is intimately connected to your body. If you live with borderline personality disorder and experience common “mental” BPD symptoms like “splitting,” uncontrollable rage or chronic emptiness, it might be worth talking to your doctor about if any physical symptoms you experience are related to your mental illness. Whatever your experience is, you’re not alone BPD warriors.

Hi, I'm Juliette. I'm the Mental Health Editor here at The Mighty. I joined The Mighty because I believe storytelling is a powerful tool in raising awareness about mental health and trauma. I'm inspired every day by the brave vulnerability of our community, and it gives me the courage to share my own experiences with trauma and mental health. #MightyTogether

New Post has been published on FlexEasy Liquid Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM

New Post has been published on http://flexeasy.net/index.php/2017/08/27/adrenal-fatigue-how-it-affects-your-life-and-how-to-heal-it-2/

Adrenal Fatigue: How it Affects Your Life and How to Heal it

80 % of American society is afflicted with adrenal fatigue at some point in their life yet most are unaware of the problem. They simply know they don’t feel well or perhaps symptoms lead them to explore other disorders; we do know that often symptoms denote multiple possibilities and sometimes overlap disorders. Do these symptoms apply to you?

♠ Weight gain, especially in waist or stomach, and it stubbornly sticks to you

♠ Fatigue ~ lack of energy ~ lethargy

♠ Insomnia

♠ Brain fog ~ concentration difficulty

♠ Morning sluggishness ~ need for stimulants to get you moving

♠ Constipation

♠ Nervousness ~ anxiety

♠ Mild depression

♠ Dry skin and hair

♠ Arthritis

♠ Pain in upper back and neck

♠ Unexplained hair loss

♠ Cold hands and feet ~ or just plain cold

♠ Allergies ~ both inhalants and food

♠ Low body temperature

♠ Reduced sex drive

If you said “yes” to several of these symptoms there is a strong possibly that you are experiencing adrenal fatigue. If you said “yes” to half or more, your adrenals are fatigued.

What is adrenal fatigue?

Adrenal fatigue is simply the allowance of stressors to influence and perhaps take control over your life. Stress is a big issue in most people’s lives and all too often the person has no idea how to deal with the stress. The result is adrenal fatigue as well as many other imbalances within the body, mind and spirit of the individual. Stress has many faces such as:

Anger ~ fear ~ guilt

Not enough sleep ~ chronic fatigue

Chronic illness

Chronic infection

Too much exercise

Improper diet

Gluten intolerance

Worry ~ anxiety ~ continually focusing on negative aspects and events

Exposure to large amount of toxins

Surgery

Caffeine

Excess sugar

Digestive imbalances

What happens when your body becomes stressed?

Your adrenal glands are located directly above the kidneys which are found in the back of you right above your waist. In this tiny gland is the most abundant hormone in your body – DHEA. Cortisol (often referred to as the hormone of death) is also found in your adrenal glands. The adrenals main purpose is to be a stress regulator. Here’s an example.

You are traveling down the road and someone pulls out in front of you. You slam on your brakes, maybe say a few choice words, and are grateful that you avoided an accident. In the meantime you had probably stopped breathing momentarily, at the very least you only took shallow quick breaths. Your heart probably began racing and felt like it would pop out of your chest and maybe even your head started throbbing. What you probably don’t know is that your cortisol also shot up to accommodate for the demand put on your adrenals. This is what we term flight and flight, and it is beneficial when something like this occurs. However, when our life becomes a continual fight and flight atmosphere, we can easily develop adrenal fatigue. The adrenals kicking in for a sudden trauma is meant to be temporary. From the stressors already mentioned, it is usually a combination of various stressors that create this syndrome for you.

As a result of continuous stress to your body, your cortisol remains elevated and thus the symptoms begin. It is very likely that at the same time your DHEA is declining, and if you are 40 or older, it is doing so naturally. We know that hormones do decline with age, but if we are stressed they will decline more rapidly. All of this not only tears down your health but ages you faster both internally and externally. And who wants to age faster!

As a result of experiencing adrenal fatigue, most individuals reach for stimulants to get and keep them going – coffee, sodas, pills, alcohol, chocolate, nicotine, etc. They are masking their problem and it continues to grow worse without their awareness due to the cover-up.

Here’s the importance of cortisol.

It normalizes blood sugar ~ When a stressor occurs the cortisol increases the blood sugar level in your body, working with the pancreas to provide enough glucose to provide energy for your cells. Continuous increased blood sugar levels creates a blood sugar imbalance which can lead to multiple physical disorders such as diabetes.

Anti-inflammatory ~ Cortisol is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. When trauma happens to our body the cortisol is released to reduce the swelling and repair the injury. Too much trauma produces too much cortisol. There are many disorders associated with inflammation such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis.

Immune system supporter ~ Cortisol influences most cells that participate in your immune system’s regulation. Chronic high levels of cortisol suppress the immune system allowing an individual to be more susceptible to illness, especially to viruses.

Stress balancer ~ Cortisol helps to balance your stress reactions, but if stress becomes chronic then it can no longer maintain the balance. The result can be weight gain that is difficult to reduce, high blood pressure, estrogen dominance that can lead to uterine fibroids and even breast cancer, and much more.

So you can see how easy it is to find yourself in the throws of adrenal fatigue and yet suspect other disorders. I personally believe, as do many health practitioners, that it is imperative to repair your adrenals no matter what illness or disorder you have because the adrenals will always be affected if there is imbalance anywhere in your body.

Steps to repair your adrenals

1. First of all understand this. Traditional medicine testing cannot detect adrenal fatigue unless it has become severe. That’s why so many physicians tell their patients – and you may have been one of them – to go home and relax or give them a prescription drug for anxiety to help. That’s simply a band-aid approach and resolves little if anything, and it definitely doesn’t cure the problem.

2. However, there is a saliva test that holistic practitioners and doctors are using that has excellent results in measuring your cortisol and DHEA levels. It is called the ASI, or Adrenal Stress Index. Although nothing is ever 100% accurate, this has very high accuracy. The reason is that your saliva is part of your tissues and can relate to the lab technicians what is being absorbed within your body as well as the level of your hormones.

3. Realize that all physical disorders have emotional cores. You may be able to “fix” your adrenal problem temporarily by making some lifestyle changes, but if you don’t release the negative emotion that underlies your stress it will simply come back again, perhaps in another form. We are multidimensional beings and it requires a balance in all four areas to be healthy. One tire on your car can cause quite an imbalance if it loses enough air. So it is with your body and health.

4. Remove your stressors. You might be laughing right now as you’re thinking I don’t know what your life is like and what you’re going through. You might be surprised just how much I do understand. And yes, you can successfully become stress free. You see, I’m a recoveree of adrenal fatigue and had been experiencing it for decades but didn’t know it. I gave birth to and raised five children, worked all through those years, was driven to succeed in my work, began having big health challenges, divorced, experienced major financial struggles for several years, found myself in a potentially destructive business arrangement from which I finally detached, and so on. We all have our stories but you don’t have to stay in them. I left my old story and created a life free from stress and its affects on me. You can do it too! The key is in how you respond to the stressors. If you want to know more about how to live stress-free, click on my website http://www.drcarolynporter.com on the home page, and order my free eBook entitled Stress Free Living. There are many other products and services listed on my website that may help you as well.

5. Get enough sleep! This can be a real problem for many people. So many come into our health store begging for something so they can sleep. Insomnia often accompanies adrenal fatigue yet it is most necessary for repair. 7-8 hours or more are necessary for healing and the adrenals repair most from 11pm – 1am. (some say the repair begins at 10 pm) So that means that you night owls might need to make some changes. I had to do this as well. Melatonin, 5HTP, herbs, magnesium, warm baths, reading before retiring, working with a coach to learn new ways to respond to your stress, listening to soft music, are all possible was to help you sleep. It is also essential to clean your liver and digest your food well to sleep well. Guides for this are mentioned below.

6.Change your diet. Follow these guidelines to allow for adrenal repair:

♦ Eliminate sugar, caffeine, and alcohol – these fight against adrenal repair

♦ Consider adding salt to you diet – but only Himalayan or Celtic types

♦ Consume many organic vegetables, at least 6 every day

♦ Consider juicing veggies several times a week for cleansing your body

♦ Drink 1 mug of warm water on empty stomach every morning with ½ organic lemon squeezed in it – cleanses the liver easily and naturally

♦ Exercise, but only moderately at first. Rule of thumb is to stop if tired.

♦ Eat regularly, at least three meals per day – may benefit from 5-6 small ones

♦ Eat plenty of good protein as amino acids found in protein help restore adrenals

♦ Progesterone cream – promotes healthy adrenals and thyroid glands, helps to

balance estrogen overload ♦ Supplementation – this is an individualized process – there is no one protocol that works for everyone and what works for one can be toxic to another. Below are some suggestions but please do your own research and seek the help of qualified practitioners for your repair process.

Note: When your adrenals are fatigued the immediate craving is for sugar, yet ironically it is the worst thing you could consume as it furthers the adrenal fatigue. Individuals who crave sugar or carbohydrates often find that adrenal fatigue is a root cause of their cravings.

Adrenals will be better served with organic vegetables, the darker and brighter the better, plenty of good quality protein to ensure enough amino acids, plenty of water and the inclusion of beneficial oils like refined, organic extra virgin coconut oil. This kind of coconut oil can actually cause weight loss and provide the good fats necessary for the conversion of ALL hormones in your body.

Supplementation that can support adrenal repair:

♦ Vitamin C and bioflavonoids – 1000 mg to 5000

mg daily, divided doses

♦ B-5, pantothenic acid, or panethine gelcaps – 1000 – 1500 mg daily, divided

♦ Vitamin E, mixed tocopherols – 400 iu’s

daily, one gelcap

♦ Magnesium – citrate good form, 500 mg or

more daily, powdered form good

♦ Natural progesterone cream – men can also

benefit

Also may be beneficial:

♦ B complex, 50 – 100 mg 2 x’s daily

♦ Multi-vitamin/mineral – once daily

♦ Antioxidants

♦ DHEA – be careful with this, especially

women, as only a little is needed to help

♦ Natural hydrocortisone – caution here as

well – prescription only

Additional suggestions:

Since most individuals with adrenal fatigue have compromised digestion, it is vital that they can digest food and supplement intake properly and have a good intestinal flora balance. You might want to include the following in your daily diet to assist in adrenal restoration:

♦ Probiotics – 2 – 3 times per day

♦ Digestive enzymes – with every meal

♦ Eating raw fermented vegetables – daily

Note: Often less is best, at least to begin. If your body is not functioning optimally, it may be necessary to introduce supplements and changes slowly so as not to “shock” the body or overload it. Of course, in the case of serious disease, it is often beneficial to saturate the body quickly to detoxify and ensure healing. Baby steps do best and know that adrenal restoration takes time, from 3 months to as much as two years, according to the severity of your adrenal fatigue.

Here are some websites that provide lots of good information on adrenal fatigue and a healthy lifestyle…

Wweelp. I guess it's Rambling Time.

Not even sure how far I'll get in any particular topic, but, we're still kind of rusty with blathering shit for school assignments, so.. Here I am, exercising my shit-blathering pathways, or whatever.

I guess an initial General Weather Report would be suitable, given that seems to be how our collectively chronophobic ass keeps track of things that we will Almost Definitely forget in the nearish future.. But that would require thinking in detail about Various Things and that's kind of Not My Bag rly, heh, so. I dunno, I guess we'll see what happens.

Suppose starting with the current thought process will suffice. There's this trans chick on YouTube we follow, who posted recently that she's getting bottom surgery, now that she's recovered from her facial feminization surgery. From there I ended up at.. One or two other videos, pretty sure it was two, about her transition timeline.

And now "transition timeline testosterone" is sitting there in the YouTube search bar staring back at me and I'm just like :\ lol dunno, or someshit.. sigh.

This video made some Feely Feels rear their dysphoric heads, because of some Hashtag Relatable shit about the way he described stuff.. And I'm sure the seething jealousy that he got top surgery means something, heh, meanwhile we're over here crossing our fingers that the body isn't too fucked up for even a breast reduction, which, even for that, the co-pay alone.. ugh.

I mean, not like I actually know how much it would be yet, hopefully Tahni will remember to ask about that when we see the primary again for the results of the next ultrasound to make sure that ovarian cyst isn't fucking cancer, fucking goddamn cancer, never would have thought we'd be stressing over that as a possibility but here we fucking are..

Well. I personally don't have much history, hehe, what with the Iiii don't, exist, Iiii don't, exist.. et cetera.. yeeup, not sure where that was going, but anyway. Yeah. If not from the fucking ovaries, possibly from the goddamn thyroid, which is Fun. Apparently there are no actual known causes for the thyroid cancers, shit just fucking happens, more commonly in "women." Yay.

But I mean, even if it is some kind of fucking thyroid cancer, at this point just take the shit out and put us on thyroid meds for the rest of our life, just make this shit stop.. ugh, but it's probably not even one thing, is it, this whole fucking body is going to shit, and how many months will it be until we've done enough tests and shit to figure out what's even going on..

It's so funny, two years ago they Really Thought it would just be an endoscopy and colonoscopy to find the cause, just a couple tests.. xD Ahh, funny in a kind of lol kill me way.. But at least shit is actually showing UP on tests now. Just having the vague undiagnosable bullshit is a different kind of agony, like before the LPR was diagnosed, it is Fucked Up trying to get any kind of answer on shit when your main symptom is just a constant hellish nausea, not anything that comes back from a lab test with Actual Results that doctors will Actually Respect.. To say nothing of how family and friends start slowly but surely deciding to themselves that it's just you making a fuss out of "nothing."

So, yeah. Different kind of hell, but godfuckingdamn I would take almost any other ailment aside from this fucking Everlasting Period bullshit. Talk about fucking dysphoria, haha. You really hate acknowledging the existence of this entire section of the meatsuit you're stuck in? Here, have some as-yet-undiagnosed ~menstrual issues~ that make the most unpleasant thing that section of the meatsuit does last TWICE AS LONG AS IT USED TO!! THAT SURELY WON'T MAKE YOU WANT TO STAB YOURSELF AT ALL!!!!

Yep. Look how well I'm coping. XDD STFU self, damn.

Or, well, I guess don't STFU, still need to exercise the word-vomit muscles, god knows how the fuck I'm gonna get by the rest of that godforsaken pass/fail How To Actually Do Shit With Your Psychology Degree Part I class.. Due tomorrow is an assignment in place of a midterm, to make a resume and goal list of shit to do that'll make said resume better.

Except there are no accredited fully-online law schools yet, so what in the ungodly fuck are we gonna even do with the degree? It's not like having it is gonna make the body less of a complete medical fucking wreck, it's not like it'll erase the fact that we can never know when we're going to be suddenly fucking incapacitated with dizziness/ridiculous cramps/intense don't-fucking-move-or-you'll-gag nausea for days on end so we can't actually keep a consistent schedule of doing anything outside of the house, what the fuck good is it gonna do me to make a fucking resume reminding me of exactly how worthless of a job candidate we are at this point?

Whoops, that Got Deep real quick, haha. But like, seriously, what the shit do I even put on a resume aside from the fact that we accidentally started the Psychology Club at our high school? If we use the non-chronological resume format it'll make the employment gap stand out less, but it's supposed to emphasize skills and experience instead, and what fucking skills or whatever can we even put on a resume? What fucking skill set will make you a viable job candidate when you can't even stand for the length of a shower without your legs getting shaky, but you don't have a fancy enough degree or the social stamina to handle a job that doesn't require some form of physical labor? Not to mention I think there's also supposed to be a made-up cover letter, something like "Hi I'm XYZ and I'm applying for ABC job with this resume", what the fucking shit can I even put for that when I know how Ridiculously Limited we are at this point?

A bunch of blathered nonsense to fill a page with lots of words and hopefully conceal the fact that we're completely making shit up. That's what. Because I can't just say "I'm Pretty Much Fucked in terms of traditional employment because chronically ill autistic multiple, and am trying to plan out a career in online comics, or if online law school becomes a thing I'll gladly use my psych degree for that." That's how you fail an assignment, even if it's the truth. I can't exactly write a cover letter to the internet announcing our intent to try that shit. So. Yeah. All aboard the Blathering Train, instead.

But yeah, anyway, that's enough financial/career angst for right now. Back to dysphoria angst!, lolol.

Yeah, so, here I am staring at this shit in the search bar and just.. Like, I don't even know if it would be medically safe to try HRT at this point, but aside from that, I don't even think that's what we want, ideally? Not interested in dealing with facial hair, armpit and "downstairs" hair already pisses some of us off enough..

Not sure if we're interested in being perceived as male, I guess, but not really wanting to be perceived as female either? I'm pretty sure at this point most of us are either specifically agender, or don't subscribe to the concept of gendering traits at all and just call themselves non-binary..

Like, the vast majority of us have fucking hated the body's boobs since they first showed up in middle school. We gave Not A Fuck for gendered shit, in general, but on an autistic sensory level we Fucking Despise pressure on the body's chest and these bitches are heavy. Even moreso than usual, recently, what with the hormones being fucked up. Fucking hate it.

But like, how do you explain to a doctor that you want the boobs off completely? The best we can probably realistically hope for is a reduction because back pain, but I dunno if it would Raise Questions if we asked what the smallest possible size they could do was. Could we settle for As? Would it be weird to ask to go from DDs to As? Weird enough that someone would take the time to be like "now hang on a second" and start trying to make us go through the red tape bullshit to be on record as Officially A Trans TM?

If we could get away with not wearing a bra without looking like we're wearing weird droopy melons under our shirt, I feel like that much would be enough for several of us, even if the body did still technically have some small boobage. As long as it didn't impede us or anything we wanted to do, if it didn't get in the way or weigh down on our chest, if it didn't make our shirts fit weird, I feel like we could deal with that..

But then I see this trans bro on YouTube here and hhnnghh why can't we just not have themmmm..

I mean, ideally, why can't the fuckers be detachable so those who don't hate them can put them on when they feel like it and the rest of us can go on our merry way without them, but, heh, science isn't quite there yet.. Next best thing seems like it would be getting top surgery and letting whomever felt like having boobs just stuff a bra when they wanted to. But of course, insurance won't pay for it if it's just because We Really Want It, we'd have to either be Officially Trans TM and jump through all those hoops and hope top surgery is covered, or we'd have to just settle for a breast reduction covered under back pain.

I guess it also Says Something, that so many of us in the system are asexual-and/or-gay dudes, or simply never thought about it and are female "by default" aka because the body was categorized as that and we didn't care enough about gender to think there was any other option, we just accepted the narrative presented to us, that we were just "not like other girls." None of us have ever felt super masculine or super feminine, that I can recall, because What The Fuck Even Is Gender, and why the fuck is it necessary to divide up traits into human-created categories anyway..

But it makes it hard to figure out exactly where we are in terms of transness.. We've known Basically Forever that we "aren't like other girls," but gender means so little to us that we never particularly wanted to be a boy either, so calling ourselves a trans guy or even just non-binary transmasculine still seems odd, even though it seems like the latter should fit..

But then, how much of that is just cisheteronormativity in action? Because I know we've had several dreams wherein we had a wang and it felt pretty natural, not foreign and out of place like the body's current genitalia setup. But like, what the fuck does wang-creating surgery even look like, that sounds like a whole mess of complicated shit to figure out, and we're already medically compromised..

With the arrival of our newest non-straight dude, one of several in the system, some of us have had to seriously reexamine where we stand on gender shit. I guess at this point it's generally accepted that we would have been much better suited to existence as "semi-effeminate AMAB homoflexible non-binary ace," rather than "pan-quoiro AFAB possibly transmasculine non-binary ace"..

I guess it feels like masculine should have been the starting point that we feminized to our liking, instead of starting off with feminine and not knowing if we want to be "masculine enough" to be categorized as "transmasculine".. Is it "masculine enough" if we want the boobs off but can't do HRT because half the shit this other video mentions sounds just as bad as having the boobs? We can't stand body hair and acne and all that, and god knows how HRT would even work with all the hormonal issues the body's already having..

The more I think about what we ultimately would ideally want, the more it seems like we would really just prefer having no AFAB reproductive parts/periods and no boobs, maybe a wang and a lower voice, and that's it. I guess maybe we could try out the aesthetic of some minimal beardage, but body hair in general already irritates several of us.. So like, for various reasons I don't see HRT happening.

We already know most of us would have the boobs off tomorrow if we could, but I guess what's tripping some of us up now is the fact that Vern is way less genitalia-repulsed than most of us, and in fact seems to generally handle the notion of Having A Body better than most of us.. And he definitely identifies as a guy, a non-binary semi-effeminate robot guy but still definitely masc-leaning, so.. What does it say about us if so many of us have already been questioning this for so long, and now the one who's most secure in his gender identity out of all of us is one of our masc-leaning non-binary guys?

I don't even know how we would.. React to it, I guess, if we did try to.. I dunno, embrace being transmasculine or something.. It doesn't feel like we'd prefer to do anything drastically different, behavior-wise, and we don't care enough about pronouns to try to figure out something gender-neutral that isn't "they" because gender-neutral "they" within a plural "they" system is confusing as fuck.. So like, I don't think most of us on the fence about being transmasculine would change our names or whatever, or use he/him pronouns, it would just.. Feel better to not have certain anatomical bits be perceived as part of who we are?

But then that just kind of makes us wonder if we're being a Bad Trans TM or something, like if that counts as reducing gender to body parts or something.. This is all so goddamn complicated.

Hot damn, finally got around to looking up some YouTubeage about how the fuck a phalloplasty actually works.. Taking skin, fat, a nerve, and an artery from the donor site to make it, that sounds so fucking unnerving to even think about, taking body stuff from one area and like.. Making a wang? Ughh, there are so many stages.. Yeah, no, even getting the AFAB reproductive bits out seems like possibly too much intense surgery for us, I don't see how we could ever manage this kind of bottom surgery, shit sounds fucking terrifying, I guess the notion of taking so much shit from another area on the body just kind of gets us in a body horror kind of way..

So yeah, I don't see us being able to do that.. And I mean, we're not really sexually-focused to begin with, so like, aside from just the base-level comfort of Having It, it's not like we'd desperately Need a wang or anything to have a fulfilling life? Just NOT having the AFAB reproductive shit/periods, that would be the main thing, not having that shit and not having the boobs. If we had a lower voice we could pass as a guy if we wanted to, and we'd probably like that, but weighing that one thing against the whole list of other shit that comes with HRT, it's probably not worth it.

But how do you ask for, much less get covered for, removing the boobs and reproductive stuff with no Official Medical Reason, just "because I don't want it"? Non-binary dysphoria doesn't seem like it would be considered a Valid Enough reason for it to be covered, but we don't want to go into a Full Transition either, so.. yeah, I dunno how we'll end up being more comfortable just existing in the body, with so many roadblocks.

I dunno, objectively it's probably internalized transphobia/nb-phobia or whatever the name for that is, not feeling "trans enough" and whatnot.. But I guess part of it is also, why can't we just be a fucking gender mystery and be allowed to exist that way? It's our fucking meatsuit, why do we have to pigeonhole ourselves into either Male or Female just for our insurance to believe that certain bodyparts cause us extreme dysphoria and we'd be better off without them? Why can't we just be a person with no boobs and maybe a wang and a voice that can't be readily identified as male or female?

I dunno why I'm even rambling about this, I know why, cisheteronormativity and various historical fuckeries, et cetera. I guess it's just frustrating trying to figure out where we are on the gender spectrum when we're blocked from making the modifications that would make the body feel less alien to us. Maybe if we could actually get top surgery, we would have a better idea of whether we consider ourselves transmasculine or just some kind of masc-leaning genderfluid non-binary, which is where several of us seem to be right now..

Hnngh. This guy seems like a good example of where we might end up one day if we do end up trying out HRT, but the idea of the body being more of a pain than it already is in terms of body hair/acne/et cetera just seems so shitty..

Haha, is it weird that I'm kind of hoping that ovarian cyst will end up being cancer and they'll give us an option to remove the whole reproductive setup in there? Because we would do that shit in a heartbeat. What's that called, a hysterectomy? A total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral ovary-something-something.. How do you convince insurance that you Need that to improve your quality of life, without establishing yourself as Fully Transitioning?

Wow, this guy's scars are so small, huh, would have thought it'd be worse.. Goddamn, we'd love to have all that shit taken out. Not like we're fucking using any of it, it's just been causing us more and more agony since puberty, can't be doing this fucking 11-day period bullshit anymore, the dysphoria was bad enough on its own..

ugh, why the fuck am I even looking at all this, not like we can do any major surgeries for a while yet, if at all..

I don't know, I guess trying to work out what we would collectively be least-dysphoric with is useful, it's just extra depressing thinking about how hard it'll be to get the boobs off, or even reduced, much less the whole reproductive removal biz.. feh. Time to ramble about something else.

hmph, actually, should probably do the other quiz for that pass/fail class.. -.- That way we can just deal with the resume/goal list bullshit tomorrow, mmmmboy.. meh, that would require more focus than I probably have though, guess it'll be tomorrow.

I dunno. The 10th-to-12th anniversary is fast approaching, probably best to just disappear into distractions a bit longer, at least until it's passed. Still not sure if it'd be best to avoid tumblr or what, on the 12th, but I guess we'll see.. meh.

#this is mostly collective-wide shit but i Cannot Be Fucked to properly tag all this so #i'll just leave this here for now
