Iām not sure where to post an irl update, hope here is okay? Sorry Iāve been gone so long!
Iāve had a bit of a struggle these last two years. I was in a really bad relationship, and my therapist has confirmed I was emotionally abused in it (I constantly felt I was the one in the wrong, and my ex would turn fights and situations around on me to convince me of that, would stonewall, gaslight, etc). I didnāt even realise while I was in it, and the relationship affected my self esteem and energy levels (I eventually got to a point of exhaustion that I stopped seeing family and friends, even losing a friend in the process). I didnāt leave because I thought we were in a bad place because of me and I was trying to constantly work on myself while simultaneously worry about them and what they were doing (because they lied a lot). Even at the end, they said they had done absolutely nothing wrong throughout the relationship and Iāve been angry since I found out it was abusive.
Besides that, I work full time and Iām studying a BA (as a distinction student) so it left me with no time to recover any energy and I was constantly burnt out.
Iām in final year at the moment, and actually looking for a new company. But the next four months are going to be hectic
I am doing much better now though! No longer in that relationship, I have a lot more energy back despite all the working and studying. I made a new best friend at university, stayed with her a month in Cape Town (I live in Joburg) and Iāve decided I want to move down there to be with the ocean, and amazing people. Iām happy, just busy
TL:DR: I was in an abusive relationship and stopped even seeing family/friends, and I work and study full time so I just disappeared. But Iām happy now! And a mysterious squirrel has summoned me back
Sorry I neglected my acorn avenging duties, I hope I can be forgiven please catch me up on everything and how you are all doing!!
Oh my goodnessā¦Look what the squirrel dragged inā¦
HUGGLES
I am so sorry, Sweetie, to hear about your predicament. What a jerk. Oh, well itās over and you learned something. You are better than that and should be treated nicer.
Whatās been happening? The squirrel and I have been having races to see who is the sickest. Not sure who is winning. I didnāt have a headache ALL weekend.
I fell LAST August and have been having headaches ever since. Sometimes 3 a week or more. Been to the useless docs. I Had a MRI. nothingā¦ I am going for an ultrasound and x-ray the middle of this month.
Besides thatā¦not too much. Lots of free games, deals, the usual.
Yea, if you read the OT thread you probably get caught up on most of what has been happeningā¦
So glad to see you thoā¦ We have had no avenging in such a long time,Way too longā¦
runs circles around the lil Acorn happily So happy you out of bad company and back with your wacky Chrono family.
The world is meds and life style changes and trying to reach doctors of one kind or the other. Right now, things are fairly even. Like @delenn13, the weekend hasnāt been too bad. The tiredness is the worse bit.
Soon as possible, I have some crafts projects to work on / finish. Tonight, Iām finally doing my entire noggin of hair - almost done. Itās been breaking and tangling due to utter fatigue and neglect. >< Must admit, the squirrel has been eating lots of nuts, tis easy protein. fold ears You have much to avenge @AcornAvenger.
Whoops I seem to be bad at this. Just guide this acorn to the right places
Definitely! I wonāt compromise my boundaries for anyone in future
Oh no Please keep us updated, that sounds like a lot to go through! I canāt believe they canāt figure out whatās wrong Bodies are very complex, my mom has been misdiagnosed a couple times. I hope they figure it out soon so you can hopefully get rid of those headaches
okay, on my way there now. Do we need to move this topic to there?
So glad to be back Thanks for dragging me here Iām sorry to hear about all the sickness whatās wrong?
Aww no, what did you do to your hair? did it help?
*pats head and hands over some acorns. Donāt worry lil squirrel, eat as many as you need to keep your strength up avenging wouldnāt be the same otherwise
Sorry Iāve been gone so long!
Iām sorry to hear about all the sickness
