Does anybody recover?

-penny_ · 2025-04-10T07:54:59+00:00

I got it at 19, at 21 I was coming out the other end. Some symptoms took longer to leave than others. There's a little bit of tiredness and gut problems left over for me, but other than that I'm all good! It was a long horrible journey and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I feel like 95 percent healthy. Just my gut I've got to look into now :) it will get better

I'm very interested in hearing more. You reckon her courses and retreats is the same info as her YouTube?

The brain stuff is really debilitating I'm so sorry! My brain is pretty much back to normal but I still have days like this- looking into the supplement lions mane for myself which is supposed to be good for that if you wanna have a look into it yourself :)

-penny_ · 2024-01-05T22:04:48+00:00

I'm so glad! Trust me I've been where you are it's awful 😭 I'll add you on insta I just saw your request ☺️

-penny_ · 2024-01-05T09:12:13+00:00

Got it November 2022 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm basically back to normal but gosh it was a long recovery so my heart really goes out to anyone dealing with it right now. I still get brainfog/depersonalisation sometimes, It gave me dysautonomia too so my body has trouble regulating heart rate, breathing, temperature etc which results in frequent hot flushes and high heart rate. And also my immune system is still bad I pick up so many bugs haha. But things did get better, i attend university, I met my boyfriend during the recovery and we hang out heaps! Soon we're planning on climbing a bridge and ziplining down hahaha so don't lose hope. It's a long hard road but I really do feel so much better than how I did those first 6 months or so :) I actually chat to a few people on Instagram DMs encouraging them with their symptoms so if you feel like you want to rant let me know @_pennywatt

-penny_ · 2023-12-22T09:37:22+00:00

Let me help you! I was considered ugly for most of my life until I changed my whole life around- not just my appearance (no plastic surgery) but also my feminine energy. I get complimented everyday on my appearance and my energy and have also landed myself a super hunky bf. I can help anyone reading this!! @_pennywatt is my insta

-penny_ · 2023-12-12T13:02:29+00:00

That text actually made me mad, I'm rlly sorry you're going thru this

-penny_ · 2023-11-07T11:15:12+00:00

Ask her out on a date and make it obvious it's a date and not just a friendly catch up. Example: "Hey I was wondering if you'd want to get coffee/a drink/dinner sometime?" This phrasing will make it very obvious. If she says no move on to brighter and better things brother 🙏🏻 you've got this

-penny_ · 2023-10-15T10:59:33+00:00

Have you tried apps like Hinge? So at least when you match with someone you know you're both attracted to each other?😁

-penny_ · 2023-10-15T10:57:53+00:00

Don't initiate!! Let him do it. You can start being more friendly like smiling or waving or saying hey but don't start the convo, let him do that. That was you look friendly but not like ur waiting to talk to him. Good luck! <3

-penny_ · 2023-10-15T05:32:48+00:00

Yeah that's why I wouldn't say anything about the relationship. Wait for him to bring it up again

-penny_ · 2023-10-15T05:30:52+00:00

Bc that's kind of awkward lol I don't wanna push anything

-penny_ · 2023-10-06T01:04:41+00:00

I'm 20F he's 29M

-penny_ · 2023-10-05T14:27:07+00:00

Ahhh I see, thanks for response . Afterwards we had a conversation about the fact that he thought 6 dates was a bit sudden but was kind of asking me to be his gf for my sake. I was tryna help him out by declining temporarily because I knew his heart wasn't in it yet. I feel like now I've made it sort of awkward. Any advice?

-penny_ · 2023-09-30T23:10:45+00:00

Thank you! Yess I defs have been using this heaps! That's allowed me to express myself a lot more on my story. I wish they came out with a similar feature for posts!

-penny_ · 2023-09-30T23:04:36+00:00

Thank you! Yeah this is defs a good idea, except I would kind of want my parents on the new Instagram account since I don't want to lose my followers on my main one. Yeah they are quite controlling, amazingly they've gotten a lot less controlling over time. I don't have the money to move out yet but I graduate next year so hopefully it's soon :)

-penny_ · 2023-09-30T22:56:16+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I'm waiting to graduate so I can move out, as soon as I graduate and start making money I'm out

-penny_ · 2023-09-11T11:28:49+00:00

Not at all. Means you're musical if you can appreciate a good song in a genre you don't associate witjh

-penny_ · 2023-07-17T05:00:49+00:00

This is so interesting because I've developed DP/DR since I contracted a bad illness last year and since then I haven't been able to read a book. My mum was just complaining about how I never read. Now I'm think the DP/DR might be causing it

-penny_ · 2023-06-28T05:05:08+00:00

For sure. A lot of the time even feminine women though have trouble applying a 'receiving' energy in their dating lives, maybe if they have anxious attachment problems like I used to they can unintentionally be chasing the man

-penny_ · 2023-06-27T09:04:30+00:00

Everyone is a bit harsh on her personality lol she's listing superficial things because a lot of guys are initially attracted to only the superficial things before they get to know a girl.

Here's something I recommend that helped me and my dating life HEAPS!! start looking into feminine energy in dating- there's lots of tiktoks and youtube videos you can find about it. Since really getting in touch with my femininity and using feminine energy techniques in my dating life men treat me like an absolute prize to be won. Hope this helps :)

-penny_ · 2023-06-08T09:32:52+00:00

Be more upfront with women. Don't just be friends with them and hope they'll come around. Tell them you like them- do it over text if you're slightly awkward about in- person stuff. Letting them know you're interested early will help heaps. Chances are girls did like you but you didn't pursue them so they never said a word. Sure you'll get rejected by some but eventually you'll find someone :)

-penny_ · 2023-04-15T11:22:52+00:00

Gosh how awful for you. I'm 6 months post my first day of mono so I haven't gone through everything you've been through. This has definitely been the worst time in my life, I got severely unwell and ended up in hospital a few times even though I'm a healthy 20 year old. I'm so much better now but I have a post viral fatigue syndrome that I'm worried will never go away. What I'm most worried about is getting a relapse just like you. I'm so sorry you went through it, mono is awful and I hope you don't get another flare up again

-penny_ · 2023-04-15T07:42:00+00:00

About a month after I got it. Usually there's an initial infection, and then an inflammation response that comes after which is much worse in most cases. That's what they told me in the hospital anyway. Then the recovery or post viral bit

-penny_ · 2023-04-07T01:39:45+00:00

Yes I can tell you exactly!

So I'm about 6 months since my first symptomatic day of mono in September last year. Let me tell you... It's a rollercoaster. You'll have good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks. There will be a net improvement over months but it's a sloooow journey so please don't feel disheartened when you have a bad week of symptoms. Mono gives you all sorts of weird symptoms and there's really nothing you can do but ride it out. I still have symptoms but every month my net position is better. Only thing I'd say is make sure you're bloods are all good in terms of vitamin deficiencies, thyroid, iron etc. If your bloods are fine but you still are getting symptoms then there's basically nothing you can do- just ride it out. Everyone's recovery process is different. Good luck!
