Healing Jounrey Update
This past Fall/Winter was the hardest for my health. I am just getting straight to the point. In Nov, I had Covid, Strep, second-degree burn, and early period ALL AT ONCE. Not to mention the antibiotics they gave me MADE ME GET AN ALLGERIC REACTION. SO ya…fun times. How it happened? I have no idea because I barely went anywhere, I believe it was from a “luxury” building that I was house sitting. This was a month of hell (my birthday month) :) Then for the next couple of months, I was living in a gas leak apartment, being gaslit (literally) by my landlords saying there was nothing wrong, until I finally took it upon myself to call the gas company. It was a small leak but over time it started to create problems. This was literally just a few weeks ago.
It is safe to say, I had a difficult couple of months. I am still recovering. But through this recovery period, my mental state took a toll. I am not used to staying still in one spot. I still make it a goal to visit somewhere new every month. It has mostly been local. I haven’t traveled internationally in a while simply because my body cant handle it.
Because of the current pause it my life. I have been reflecting. A LOT OF REFLECTING.
It was the first time in my life, I started to be firm with my boundaries. It made me realize that NO ONE is worth putting your emotional, mental, and physical last. Your health is wealth.
It also made me listen to my body more, not to push it to the limits. Which I usually do since I have a high tolerance to pain.
Since I am against any medications and was basically forced to take the antibiotics that my body LITERALLY rejected. I am telling you I was in hives barely breathing and knocked out I felt my body telling me to get up and go back to urgent care. I am glad I did, because God knows if I would have ever woken up.
To make matters worse this all happened as I was house sitting a friends house. Her cats made me realize something wasn’t right because they wouldn’t leave my side.
Regardless that is all over, but now the damages are still surfacing. My skin has been paying the price. My gut was completely destroyed so I am working on building it up.
These are the products that have been currently helping me.
Everything happens for a reason. These couple of months really shaped me into a different person. I no longer can tolerate low-quality connections. I believe because I welcomed all into my circle, I was carrying the weight of other’s problems as my own. that I didn’t even have time to focus on my own issues. Hence the downfall of my health. Your mind and body are one. You neglect one the other will soon follow.
I hope this post pushes you to put yourself first.
