Health and Sanity Check-Ins

[sprocketta]

Things are crazy now. I think we are all trying to stay healthy and maintain sanity as well. I thought I would start this thread so folks can check in and discuss how they're doing. I want all my BIC friends to be okay. I will kick this off with a first post. Take care of yourself lovelies.

@SportyGirly125 I'm so sorry to hear your suffering through some health issues.  Hopefully it's nothing serious and you make a complete and quick recovery soon.  🙏❤️‍🩹

It sounds like your exited for your next chapter on the job front. That's an amazing turn of events after a work restructure. I wish you all the good luck in your new venture! 🍀💚

@CynthieLu Thank you 

[Buootiful]

Oh no, I'm so sorry. I do hope it's nothing serious. I'm sending positive thoughts your way 🤗 @SportyGirly125 . Thank goodness you have your next great thing lined up. Best of luck to your new venture ❤️.

@Buootiful @Thank you. Already saw a Doctor today.

Health issues are never a joy, but at least it's an indicator (like a warning or a signal) from your body in some form.  The timing of it all with your job, geez, there's never a good time but they always show up at the most inconvenient of times.  I am also hoping this pans out as nothing, and you chalk it up to a lived experience @SportyGirly125 .

@danielledanielle The Job thing was something I saw coming for a while now so I don’t think it had a factor. Not sure if my shingles returned because of kid stress or maybe a muscle injury.  I am just so excited for the next chapter in my life, a new career.

@SportyGirly125 I am sorry to hear about the restructuring at your work. Goodbyes are never easy. I have heard a quote before that comes to mind. "Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened." I am happy you already have something lined up and that being proactive about your career has timed out well. I am sorry to hear you are dealing with health issues. Take care of yourself (I know you are). Give yourself grace. Let me know if you need anything. 

[SportyGirly125]

@Mellmars1185 @Thank you. I am so excited for my next venture. I have been working ever since I was in college which is over 2 decades without a break. I keep saying that this is bittersweet.

@SportyGirly125 I’m sorry to hear you’re going through a rough time. I hope things will be looking up again soon!

[SportyGirly125]

@JoSometimes @Thank you. I never thought about right timing until this moment so I am super excited for what’s to come.

@SportyGirly125 good luck with your health and getting a diagnosis! 💓 I'm also sorry to hear about the work restructuring. It seems like so many things always hit at the same time.

[SportyGirly125]

@curlychiquita Thank You. The whole work thing isn’t surprising and I have had things planned out for months now. It’s going to suck to tell all the vendors I have worked with since we have such a good relationship. They sure are going to miss me 😊

@SportyGirly125  I hope it's nothing serious! I have hypothyroidism, and it's astonishing how being low on thyroid hormone affects pretty much every aspect of my mental and physical health. Fortunately there's an easy(ish) remedy.

I got laid off at the beginning of May, and the timing was perfect as I was desperately in need of some time to rest and recover, and also get my medication levels back on track. I'm finally feeling good again...as in just this week I began to feel normal. If you can, take some time for yourself to breathe and let go of the old while you're getting your health issues sorted. Good luck, hon.

[curlychiquita]

I'm glad everything worked out and you're feeling better, @Westcoasty!

[Westcoasty]

@curlychiquitaThanks, me too! I was pretty wiped for awhile. I love having energy and being just plain happy again.

[SportyGirly125]

@Westcoasty Thank you. Glad you are feeling better. 

[Westcoasty]

@SportyGirly125Thanks, me too! I hope you get answers soon.

@SportyGirly125 please get things checked out. As a cancer  survivor , I know there is nothing more important than your health.  Wishing you all the best 

[SportyGirly125]

@CorgiMommy @I was already seen by 2 doctors but need to go to my primary this week.

Hey everyone, psychology student here. I’ve been in school ever since kindergarten!! It went: elementary school, middle school, high school, then 3 years of university immediately after that. 

Finally, I have a “break” of sorts… I have a great position in my field, doing lots of administrative work and learning plenty about psychology. I’m in this position for the year, and will complete my undergraduate degree in the following year (2023/2024). 
Seeing plenty of people my age going back to school is a weird feeling because it’s the first time in forever that I’m not having a “back to school” moment lol!
Regardless, I’m in a healthy relationship, making great connections in my field, and putting my mental and physical health first ❤️
