Croke Park.

Today we went to Croke park to see the GAA m museum. We left school at 12 and it was a really fun and packed day. We started off by getting show a video and it show us what happens in the stadium before a match is played. It also showed us all of the different people that are involved in the different things in the stadium. After we were shown the video we went out under where all of the seats are and we were shown different things and told about them all.

We went into some of the different places like the dressing rooms and the players’ lounge and where the players would go to physic and where they would warm up and things like that. It was pretty cool if you ask me. The players’ lounge was amazing. Once we had a bit of a look around in there and we all got nicer and warm and found cosy seats we were told about the history of the GA. What better way to be told history the on nice seats in a lovely warm room.

One we had done that we then went to see the stadium we went out to the grass. We got to walk through the tunnel that the players walk through when they are going out onto the pitch. That was pretty cool too. Once we had took some photos a few people whet up to where the winning team receives the trophies and held up a bottle of water as if it was a trophy.

Then we sat where the president sits when she is at a game and we got talked to for a few minutes there before went went up even higher in the stadium. We went up three different escalators. And well the floor after the escalators well I didn’t like them very much and neither did Kellie. Once we got up I finally convince Kellie to go up a bit higher even though she was scared of heights she still managed to go it. Not to the very top but we got up a bit higher. And well it was scary but the view was amazing. I just want to say sorry to Kellie again for making her go up as I didn’t  realise that she was so scared she was holding on to her chair but it was fun all the same.

After we did that we went into one of the boxes and that was pretty cool. Me and Kellie found the radiator so we were happy. That was then end of the tour then but then we got to go back down the escalators. I hate escalators especially going down. I had to be the last one to go down because I hate going down on them so much. We got to go look at different things in the museum like photos and stuff. After that we were allowed to look around and play some of the games ourselves and go to the cafe before meeting up to get back on the bus to go home.

It was a really good day over all and I think that everybody really enjoyed it . I know that I did.

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...
