feelin' hormonal

i'm still in a state of brutal misandry, excessive melancholy, and other such synonyms for wanting to smash. however, i've taken to pouring bailey's in my ice cream and and that seems to be helping slightly. also, i've discovered that browsing the container store's website is like some kind of obsessive compulsive porn for me and i may have accidentally ordered a holiday wrap tote... dude, it fits 40 inch rolls - it's not like i had a choice here. danger bay or not, storage solutions soothe me.

anywho, i went to another ologist last week - this time of the endocrine variety. your endocrine system is basically what regulates how your body functions, and thanks to my life sucking, i have a faulty one. i was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism after years of being told by doctors that i was just a fat, lazy asshole. my endocrinologist was pretty impressed that i had already seen several other ologists and assured me that i'm not a fat, lazy asshole, but my thyroid is, so he increased my medication in an attempt to get that shit under control. fingers crossed.


i was also tested for B12 deficiency again, and since i already take B12 supplements and still have ALL of the symptoms, i might have to get a B12 shot once a month because why wouldn't i have to? i get the results next week.

all i wanted was to stop feeling like a bag of garbage, which was definitely too much to ask. in the meantime, i guess it's back to the container store. ribbon dispensers are a necessity, right?

love and storage solutions,
so pauvre

Ribbon dispensers are very necessary!!

Sorry to hear about all this general shittiness - I do know how you feel to some degree, I have endometriosis and it took doctors a LONG time to diagnose, along with tests, so many tests and so many painkillers. Sometimes I felt like I was maybe going CRAZY. But you will get there lady!

Ribbon and wrapping paper storage is totally necessary. Anyone who attempts to convince you otherwise is a damned fool.

Ribbon and wrapping paper storage, for you, Aleesh, is pretty much a basic necessity like a toothbrush or undies. That much is clear. Also, I am with you in the B12 department. I was told I was super deficient in it, but my taking it for years seems to have not actually remedied that. Go figure. Good job staying on top of all this stuff. I want to hear more about the thyroid issues. I will email you asap.

Glad you were finally diagnosed properly, sucks about the diagnosis though. Good thing is you can take meds & they'll level you out again. I was diagnosed w/hyperthyroid and had to have mine removed via radiation so I guess you can say I'm hypo like you now :) Hypo sisters unite lol.

dam that thyroid! It really needs to get its act together. Hope the increase in meds helps out. In the meantime I just bought a plastic bag dispenser and its changed my life.
