It has been a while since I have made a post, but it’s for good reason. I was happy. Still stressed as can be to make life work in favor of happiness, but I had found a sliver. I quit my job back in August as a USPS Letter Carrier. I miss my customers dearly, but this career did not allow me to thrive as an individual. It worked against my mind and body, leaving me a shell of who I could become. I had nothing lined up besides Uber Eats driving, I did that until I happened upon a posting for a local bird shop hiring. I brought in my resume and before I knew it I was changing out newspapers in c ..read more

I left my job as a Letter Carrier to focus on my bulimia recovery and mental health. I took a big step recently towards improving my quality of life. I left my job as a Letter Carrier to focus on my bulimia recovery and mental health. I will miss the community where I spent the last year dearly. After five years of various physically focused employment and five years of bulimia, it was time to make a change, and so I did. I am now delivering food for Uber Eats while I seek out new employment opportunities. I am also living in a way I never have before. I am happy and healthy. So, why di ..read more

Walt Whitman “re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body” Walt Whitman Leaves of Grass, Preface I came across this quote yesterday; I find it profound.

Life gets weird. I haven’t posted in a while, I started several drafts, but I ended up going nowhere with them. I have been experiencing what has felt like a decrease in my mental stability. Everything seemed intensified, from the way my body reacts to the anxieties of my day to day life, to my emotional responses to everyday interactions. Racing thoughts, anxiety attacks, exhausted, but with bouts of energy, trouble eating and sleeping, and this heavy feeling of confusion, hopelessness, and failure; I didn’t understand why I was feeling this way. I was supposed to be healthier. No longer ..read more

Aiding my digestive health as I recover from bulimia. In the past, while having active bulimia, I never noticed issues with my digestion. It was always when I would try to start recovery and go without purging when I would experience issues. Each person experiences there own recovery side effects; for me, it was mainly bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and cramping. The first month was the most challenging. I had never made it beyond a week into recovery before the destructive habits started back up. Eating anything would leave me feeling as though there was a weighted balloon ..read more

I need a fresh start in my professional life, but I don’t know where to begin. Right now, it feels like my job is slowly trying to kill me. On an average workday, I need to eat around 3700 calories to be healthy. To have a healthy, clean diet, this amounts to a lot of food for me to eat without causing mental and physical distress as I recover from bulimia. A new job would be incredibly beneficial in my recovery, and untimely, my health and happiness. But where to start? I have many interests, but not many skills I can showcase as I continue my job search. I need to break away from my histo ..read more

Procrastination or Self Care?

Today felt lazy. It was so needed. Self care days take on many forms. Sometimes I’m out and about in town, maybe out in nature, or home cleaning. Today I had nothing planned, absolutely nowhere I needed to be. I love these days, they can turn into anything. Sure there are things I need to get done, they will get done, just not today. No one is waiting on me to get these done, today was my day. A day to have fun and be creative. This morning I went about my routine for non-work days, but then I received a message. Someone was interested in buying a backpack I had listed weeks ago. It has ..read more

I try to incorporate stretching and meditation into my daily routine to relieve some anxiety. I get a lot of anxiety, it feels like my brain goes into overdrive and I keep thinking of better solutions to all my problems in life. But most of the time I can’t do anything about it, but overthink. I ended up taking a couple days off work for mental health this past week and feel better for doing so. This video was made for fun and is not informative in any way. Just some snippets from my daily stretching routine. Featuring Lollipop (LP) as the trouble maker ..read more

Ten Years of Change I am proud of who I am today. I am not proud of every moment that led me here. But I am here. Life has its unique challenges for all of us, and we overcome them in our own way. Take your time as you find your way, life is a constant opportunity for growth. Five months ago I hit bottom as I struggled with a five year long eating disorder. I was reaching new and amazing places with my transition from female-to-male, but still held back by this destructive disorder. Now five months in recovery, I look back on the past ten years of my life and all the change I experience ..read more
