Dissapoinment for Green Hero.



Well yesterday we were meant to be getting all of our magazines from the printer and well we didn't. Our managing director was in contact with the printer during the week while the magazines were being printed. We had made arrangements for the entire group to go to Louise's house on Friday after school to receive the delivery and get our pictures taken. We had arranged to get time off school on Monday to go and give the magazines to the schools. We had also gotten permission from or year head and everything was very organized.

At lunch time it was getting closer to the end of school and we were all getting really excited to see the final product of all our hard work. We have spent the last few weeks working very hard on this. In school and out of school. At lunch time I left art in a very positive and good mood. I made my way up to the lunch room and was telling everybody how exciting it was to be able to see the final magazine in only a few hours. Then Louise stood up and told me that she had a bit of bad news. She said that we weren’t getting the magazines yesterday and it would be sometime next week before we could get them. After that I was not in a very good mood I can tell you that. But hey these things happen. Louise told us the printer said that his machine broke down and that he would get the magazines to us as soon as possible. He said that he would print them Monday and fold them Monday night and he would deliver them on Tuesday.

We had done so much work leading up to this and were all ready to receive the delivery. We were a bit out off by this but its ok all we have to do is change a few minor details and we will be all set to give them out to the schools next week. We did however manage to get the prizes for the competitions in the magazines yesterday. Smyths said that they would give us a twenty euro voucher and reasons said that they would give us a book. Niamh and I decided that we would go to liffey valley to get these. After walking in the rain to Smyth we finally got there cold and wet. Got our voucher and headed off again. When we got to Easons we got on very well. We were told that we could get one book when we spoke to them on the phone. But when we got there we were given three books. We are very greatufll for these two shops for sponsoring us these prizes..... :)

A prisoner of my own mind

A while ago I wrote about a bump in the road that saw me take a step backwards…. That bump is still very much on the road and I am simply coasting along hoping the end is in sight somewhere. But when the end comes I have to ask, how long will it last for? How long will the good times last before we hit another bump? I don’t want this anymore, I no longer want the label I have attached to me, I don’t want borderline personality disorder. When I was first diagnosed I resisted my diagnoses, last year when I got unwell again and found myself re-entering the mental health services and engaging with the community mental health team I had to use every ounce of energy to truly accept my diagnosis and in many ways empower the label and allow it to help me understand myself. That label, which had a positive purpose no longer holds the same status, now it is simply something I do not want, something which has taken over my mind and body, it is something that I need gone, I need it to disappe...

An unexpected week

Last week I went back to work and to say I was scared would be an understatement! On Sunday night I prepared myself as much as I could for what I anticipated to be one of the worst weeks I would experience in work. I expected to be riddled with anxiety to the point where I wouldn’t be able to go to work- I was not. I expected to feel pure panic as I drove to work each day, bordering on a full-blown panic attack- I did not. I expected to cry, each day over something minor, something small, something that wouldn’t have mattered- I did not. I expected to obsess over everything; put more rituals in place to ensure everything was perfect-I did not. I expected to hide the fact that I had been in hospital for my mental health, I expected to allow the shame I was feeling to take control, I expected to shy away from my colleagues during the week, I expected to fight this battle on my own, but I did not. It was a hard week in many ways, it was the first week back, I was sc...

Day 14- Two weeks post-op

Image
It's hard to believe it has only been two weeks since my corrective double jaw surgery, it feels like it happened months ago! I was hoping that my two week update would be as positive as my first week update but I’m afraid its not. For about the past week I have been dealing with a lot of pain on my right side particularly at the site of surgery on my lower jaw. Having met with my surgeon last Friday he prescribed another course of antibiotics, as he was concerned there could be a slight infection due to the pain I have been experiencing, much to my dismay the pain in my right side is only worsening. It’s nothing I am very concerned about; I mean it’s only two weeks since the surgery so it is more than likely as a result of you now my jaw being broken! But nevertheless it is something, which I am monitoring and keeping a close eye on, should it continue to worsen over the next couple of days I phone call to the surgeon, might be in store. Swelling has improved a lot sinc...
