Personal archive

Read about my battles with Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), my mental health, surviving both childhood sexual abuse and a 12 year relationship plagued with emotional abuse, as well personal projects / challenges, and anything vaguely Jem-related.

AARRRGGGHHH

I am an in such a fucking foul mood this evening. So many stupid things… I spent part of this afternoon re-doing work that I spent almost three hours yesterday polishing off (don’t ask). My face broke out in spots down one side last weekend and they won’t piss off. I look fifteen again. I… read full entry »

Walking Malarkey

So, as the doctor prescribed I’ve been taking a brisk walk every day. Except, I have a confession… I’ve discovered that I am that bloody unfit that I am struggling to keep it brisk for over 5 minutes, let alone 15. I can only try and guess at how the hell I used to do… read full entry »

Doctor, Doctor!

My 18-monthly depo checkup/3-monthly jab was this morning. I was particularly looking forward to this after the doctor had to Google the procedure and the nurse left my arse exposed to the world last time. Fortunately this doctor — although obviously new — was more clued up than the last guy. He started asking me… read full entry »

What a Shit Day!

I’ve had such a stupidly shitty day. I can’t rant about it because of, ooh, just the small matter of privacy that I discussed in my previous post. Is that classed as irony? Safe to say that I managed to humiliate myself more than once by not asking the right questions and not paying enough… read full entry »

Wait, no, it’s not in my head… It wasn’t God trying to communicate (he’d only be telling… read full entry »

Another Cold, etc.

I’ve got another bloody cold. I’m hoping it won’t affect my testicles this time. None the less I’m playing it safe and drinking lots of orange juice (vitamin c ftw.) Talking of “ftw”, I’m thinking of making this ftw (that’s ‘for the win’) t-shirt my next syswear purchase. I think it’s only fair that after… read full entry »

A Recipe

1. Take one bottle of white wine 2. Pour generously into large glass 3. Add hilarious show, Mock the Week in this case. 4. Laugh wildly. Result: woken neighbours and sore ribs from laughing so bloody loud. Alcoholism is a pretty good cure for stress though, I have to say. It’s not like me to… read full entry »

DVD Recommendations, etc

I’ve finally managed to sign up to one of those online DVD rental things. I kept telling myself I would and not getting round to it (story of my life) so I feel like I achieved something by doing so. Anyway, now that I’ve signed up and lovefilm.com have given me a funky 2 week… read full entry »
