group meditation? sounds interesting... i'm in! I'm at GMT -4 (currently 3:48 AM).
what can I tell... I usd to be perfectly healthy as a kid, then verything messed up with my turning into a woman. When I was 12 y.o. and my hormones
went crazy not in the normal way. Aside of the secondary hypothyroidism I have hormonal hypermenorrhea (
here starts the period comments, so if you
don't want to read about this, skip till it's over ) that means my period was a nasty red river that lasted for 7-9 days... My mom never
believed me that it was complex, I was always pending about stain marks on my school uniform or the chairs I was sitted on (I used to carry a spare
uniform in my locker "just in case"... and I needed to wear it more than twice). If the common woman wears 2-3 regular pads in a day, I used to wear
6 or 7 heavy flux ones in just one day. Nights were so stressful, because I never knew if the pads were secure enough... my bed in that time had a lot
of blood stains in the matress and I changed sheets all days. Finally, one night, when I was 18, I pulled my mom from an arm to show her the mess I
had in the bathroom (it was 5 AM) and cried her to carry me to her gynecologyst because leaving a bathroom by 5 AM like a crime scene wasn't normal
in ANY way. They took me a $hiton of tests, trying to discard POS and another issues. Hormones. and nothing more than hormones. Oh, and since my mom
didn't paid attention at time, I need to bear with cronical anemia forever because of all that heavy blood lose from all those years... Hopefully I
like lentils and liver, I need to eat those forever... And I cannot donate blood forever.
(nasty period talking off)
Oh an also I have two alimentary dissoreders, that are cyclical. I swing between anorexia and COD, that a weird case of bulimia. COD (compulsive
overeating dissorder) it's almost a bulimia, but without purgating after the overeating. Last year i gained around 40 lbs in 2 months because of
that... with some dieting I'm closer to my norml weight, but the last pounds are always the hardest... so here it comes my non friend anorexia. I
notice that I haven't eat propperly in some days, and that's a clear sign that anorexia is near. I still feel hunger, but in some weeks i would not.
It's a cycle. And I have been trapped on this since I was 15 y.o....
that same year, I started to suffer a weird depression that lasted years, with no apparent reason. As I've said, I had suicidal thoughts almost
everyday, life seemed to be so cold and grey, there wasn't anything that made me shine by that days... I had some love relationships and all went
wrong because my extreme laziness and coldness (in EVERY sense of the word, I felt cold like a rock too). The guys got bored on me, cheated on me,
left me alone and so on. In the last serious relationship I had I started to catch colds almost every week. My ex BF (a very nice guy, he still owns a
piece of my heart, we are just friends now) pushed me to go to a doctor and get some tests. And OH WOW! my t4 count was 90% under the normal!
One of my grandaunts appointed an hour with her endocrynologyst for me, an he putted me in sodic levothyroxyn (I don't know the names outside my
country, but here's called Eutirox) FOREVER. And my life really changed overnight. I was like before hitting the 15 y.o, so happy, cheerful, etc.
Enough said that this little pill did more for me than the psychiatrist and psychologyst I was going in for years and also left the
antidepressants.
... but now I need to get a calibration of my medicine and since this pathology was discovered when my mom didn't live with me, she didn't take it
serious. I have been begging her for money like 3 months ago and nothing. She said she was going to send me the money last week and nothing happned
yet. One of my best friends gave me the money so I'm going next week even if my mom doesn't want it. I need a fix, I'm weaker and weaker every
day.... I cannot focus, and my short term memory sucks. Also my nails brittle like mad and I've messed up a work for college thanks to that. I don't
want to feel like my mom doesn't care about me.... but it's hard to feel like this when I haven't paid my monthly college fee because she hadn't
sent me anny money and I'm not wearing my glasses because the ones I had broke... 6 months ago (I¡m nlind as a mole...). I know that the family
business isn't going well but it's hard to live like I am now... I felt like I'm not even important for her, and she's my only parent and
sometimes my only family (my aunt, the one I live with... that's also not my aunt but my grandaunt, seems to be the only one who cares... and that
makes me so sad, my family is kinda big and nobody says anything positive about me. Never. I won several awards when in Journalism, literature awards.
Nothin, not even a "well done!" came from their mouths...)
sorry, I needed to rant a bit and my so called "friends" already said that they're tired of my rants... my health is going downhill an my poor
grandaunt it's not working anymore due her age, just receiving her retirement that covers just the basic services of the house, like food,
electricty, phone, internet...( having internet here isn't luxury, is a basic service... the same with cellphones. It's a weird place. Sometimes you
don't have money to buy food - happened to me more than once - but internet it's always on)
Sometimes I just want to go to leep and never wake up again... like tonight. But I know that tomorrow I'm gonna wake up like today, do my assignments
dor college too late, didn't finish them and cry to my teachers because of that. as always...
(sorry for my poor redaction, it's late...)
