My life sucks

[Blackcloud]

@rav3n Haha that means I’d be halfway done throughout the undergraduate certificate degree by then. I was thinking of choosing the 2 remaining units from that degree as part of my electives with cross-institutional study but I’m not sure if I’m able to or if that’ll be possible.

Tomorrow I’ll be going for a follow up laser hair removal session - it’ll be my second last one and then the last one will be next month. 🙂 not sure what I’m gonna be doing for Sunday though - it’s either I go out for a walk or just stay at home.

What about you?

@Blackcloud @Good morning how are you? I’m sorry I’m quite sick and it’s hard to respond at the moment. 😞 

That sucks you only got a bit of sleep the other night. 3 hours isnt much and makes you feel tired all day. Due to this dreaded cold I slept most of the day yesterday and all night last night. 

Ah online study is so good and convenient too. It’s good you’ve just got 1 assignment and then a test to wrap up the semester. Then a break before starting new course in July? 

Yeah getting a cold with peripheral artery disease is really quite awful. I also have thallasemia which means colds etc are worse and last longer for me. 😞 

I look awful at the moment. I’m not doing much today. Zero energy.

@Blackcloud sucks that most places don't allow for cross-institutional studies, would've been more efficient!

hope the laser removal went well, is it painful for you? did you end up going for a walk or staying home? 

my Saturday was chill, just stayed home and made a poster for my friend. and then today i was supposed to watch my friend (the one i made a poster for) do a marathon... only we missed the marathon cos of traffic 😅 so we just had lunch and dipped. was nice seeing her tho!

@Cuddlebear hi again, and no worries about it being hard to respond right now despite being sick ❤️ I'm sorry I didn't get to respond sooner either as I needed some time (like a few days) to respond just to refresh my mind a bit and whenever I feel ready to respond back. 🙂 

Yeah, so after the assignment and then the test, I get to have a whole 1 month break before I start my bachelor degree in July 🙂

I'm sorry to hear you're going through that 😞 I'm not really sure what else to say other than looking after yourself during this time as your physical and mental health are the most important~ ❤️

Sending you some virtual hugs - I hope you've been able to do some self-care to help manage your mental health 🙂 was there anything you did or/and are doing as a form of self-care? 

You're a strong person, and you're doing amazing - I hope you realize that, and I truly mean it when I say it. ✨

@rav3n It was actually my 7th follow up laser (underarms) session, but yeah I did felt a bit of pain as soon as the laser machine landed onto parts of my underarms haha. I had it done in the afternoon so I stayed home after I was done and got back home. 

oh that sucks that you guys have missed the marathon 😞 the traffic can be very annoying to deal with especially during the afternoon/peak hours! Is the marathon a one time thing? Or how often does your friend have to do it for?

I can’t imagine running a marathon myself tho - I did cross country when I was in year 8 as part of the SCSA cross country excursion and looking back I would NEVER do it again 😛

Mine too. Wish I was...

@Blackcloud Hello I see you cooked a really good meal 🙂 Awesome! A months break will be lovely. Will let you put your feet up a bit and relax without Uni pressure 🙂 

I’m still sick. Cold is still crap but not as bad as when it started. Hopefully I’ll feel better each day now. 

I honestly just try to survive the days. I have no ability to do self care stuff when I feel like this. I try to connect online when I can. I mainly hang out with my dog and cat. That’s all I can really do. 

[Blackcloud]

@Cuddlebear That’s fair enough. Today started off not so great for me so far as I wasn’t able to fall asleep last night, I figured it’s because I chose not to turn on the fan during the night last night when I tried to sleep because I thought if I turned on the fan (even keeping it away from my face) then it would make me feel cold after I wake up…despite the cold weather we’re at now… but yeah I’ve tried this a few other times (not turning on the fan at night when I sleep) and it also hasnt led me to fall asleep until I turn the fan on during anytime of the night, so I’ll be sure to do that every single night from now on till I relocate to another accomodation.

Apparently, the room I live at right now - the window doesnt have the ‘door’ where you can open and close in order for the air to come in, so it leaves the room to be poorly ventilated (it goes the same with every other rooms in this student accomodation).

[Cuddlebear]

@Blackcloud @I’m sorry your sleep is disrupted. It’s an awful thing to have happen. Poor ventilation doesn’t help either. Sounds like a good plan to have the fan going though to help the sleep. 

I just tested positive to covid which explains feeling so unwell. First time I’ve had it. 😞 

I really hope your day settles into a much brighter one today. I’m gonna try get onto my doctor and get some medicine to help with covid. 😞 

[Blackcloud]

@Cuddlebear Oh nooo, now you’re not off to a great start either 😞 I’ve tested positive to covid almost 3 years ago and it was the worst thing I’ve had!..definitely wasn’t worth the experience.. one morning I had to go to the bathroom cause it felt like I was about to puke/vomit and at the same time it felt like my heart was about to k!ll me?? And that I lowkey was about to faint…but thankfully I survived through all of that, although it was actually a painful and extremely unworthy experience not gonna lie…So I cried very hard during that time - worst kind of sickness I’ve experienced in my life… I’m usually fragile and have low pain tolerance so yeah. But my mum having enough of dealing with me continuing to cry and scream in the bathroom although she tried helping me as much as she could….is part of the reason why I don’t have the best relationship with her because of how she deals with such situations like this, the same thing goes for when I kept crying and screaming whenever I got menstrual pain on the first days of my cycle…😐

I hope the medicine you’ll be getting from your doctor can help with your covid symptoms as well, you’ve got this! 💪
