Back to training I go.

Today I was my first night back to athletics in three months. I missed it so much. I would have gone back during the summer but I was an idiot and hurt my foot by missing a step going into my garden and ending up in a cast two weeks and crutches for another week but I slowly got better until I jumped off a bin. I know what you’re thinking why the hell would a person jump of a bin well it’s because I got locked out and me and emer wanted to go into my back garden to play with Lilo. I got over the gate onto the bin and that’s where I had trouble getting down and so I decided to jump and well I landed in the hospital that night. Get it, I jumped and landed in the hospital, yeah it’s a bad joke I know I’m tired and I’m in fifth year and struggling to find time to blog so I’m trying to catch up not but I really should be staring on my L.C.V.P homework..... Maybe I’ll just do it in the morning. We haven’t been told when it is due yet but I don’t have that L.C.V.P teacher again until Friday so I will have plenty of time to do it. Yeah I have three teachers for the one subject, I’m an idiot and get confused trying to do simple things that Mrs L tell me to do on blogger and I’m meant to remember what teacher I have for L.C.V.P and when. I might be organised but I have a terrible memory.

Sorry I was meant to be talking about training so now I’m going to get back on track. I went today knowing that I would have to run because it’s too early in the season for throwing sand I am having a bit of trouble with jumping at the moment because of my foot so I would be able to do my glide anyway. So I knew I would have to do polish cross country and I thought my foot would hurt so I figured I would go and do as much as I could.

It wasn’t too bad to begin with I got my two laps warm up done and then the other four laps we had to do. Yeah I said four, anybody who knows be would think it’s a miracle for me to do two never mind four. So before we started the polish cross country I had done 6 laps I was pretty tired and my foot began to hurt but against Pauls advice I carried on but I was only going to jog and I wouldn’t do the exercises everybody else was going to do because I wouldn’t be able to do most of them with y foot at this stage. I jogged really slowly but got to have a nice chat to Vivian along the way so I could put up with the pain. So after the three laps of polish cross country I was don’t I couldn’t do anymore and so I told the coach and went to sit in the club house while the rest of the group did the last two last of fart leg.

I was happy with how the session went because well I  managed to nine laps with breaks I know I didn’t do as much as everybody else did or all the exercises but that was because I couldn’t with my foot. I’m really annoyed over my foot being so sore. It was getting better and I was running around on Friday in school I won’t say who I was running from but it involved my hiding under a desk at one point but any I was running in school but when I go training it decides to get sore again. I think I will be missing training on Thursday :(  I feel so lost without athletics. There might also be a trip to the doctor and physio needs to help my foot get better :(  But I refuse to be on crutches again and it will get better even if Aoife says it won’t

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...
