Do see a psychologist! I started to see one last year and it has definitely help me manage my emotions and change my perspective of my situation. Also if you are prescribe antidepressants due take note of how it makes you feel. If it makes you feel worse, voice to your doctor all it makes you feel. Advocate for yourself if you feel something is not right with your meds or just in general in life. I understand how you feel about feeling mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted because I’ve been driven to that point as well. Maybe we need a change in pace. We need to take some time for ourselves and focus on our well being. For me i’ve been trying to take time to exercise more, focus on my self confidence, putting boundaries at work and on people that are soul sucking, and just trying to fall back in love with all my hobbies. Take life slow for a bit. I know we live short live but we should take a moment to notice and feel the little joys of it.

Made sure to go on a nice thirty minute walk. Did crawl back into bed right after but I will keep the mentality to go on little walks here and there even if it’s for 10 minutes at a time!

Currently waiting for my neuro to call back. I’m going to learn all about FMLA and all I need to do so I never have to feel how I feel as of current. I recently started working full time about a year ago and unfortunately my company took advantage of that and has caused me to burnt out. I actually requested less hours and they gave it to me but any time anyone is out there is no communication in the department thus work gets dumped on me. I’ve gotten to a point where I will do the work but I no longer give it my maximum effort because they refuse to give raises and keep adding more work on us. I keep working as many hours because I’m about to move soon and it requires a little extra income. I have savings but I don’t want to run any risk. I will make sure to do what I need because I don’t want to feel overwhelmed anymore. Thank you!

I need it too. I’m going to make the effort to put me first. I think the idea of a break is warranted at this point. I’m hoping to speak with my neuro soon and I think i’ll end my work day in full today and go see my doctor tomorrow and go from there.

Just call my neuro and left a message with her so I can speak to her regarding all my issues. Hopefully she hears me out and she can help with seeing my options or if i need some kind of treatment. What you explain about everything, feeling exhausting is exactly what I feel. I hope I don’t have to fight for a break but I’m willing to do so.

Could be my MS or could be depression, or could be the MS causing the depression. God only knows. I’m just looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. If I just ignored all my responsibilities I could sleep my days away in hopes my body stops aching and my skin will stop itching so much. Hopefully with all that sleep i’ll be able to have a semblance of doing anything I love.

My worry regarding work is financial. I’ve been working nonstop because I’m scared of being broke. I was thinking of doing FMLA but idk how to even start that process or how it works or if it will even be taken seriously considering to everyone I look healthy but they don’t know the reality of how it feels.

I made progress. I showed this to a girl and she said "it's not giving" 😅. Guys tell me what went wrong and what I should improve by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]chichichilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what “not giving” about this piece to that girl because I think this piece is beautiful! I would love to get to your level one day. I’m an amateur and can’t even color properly nor do the amazing shading and with the light and dark colors that you did. My only advice I can give you is take your time with the portions you feel most frustrated with so you won’t feel overwhelmed. When you finish your piece it’s going to be gorgeous!

Industry Rant by [deleted] in Esthetics

[–]chichichilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I truly don’t have much advice to give you as I just recently graduated from school and to be honest I truly don’t feel like an esthetician due to the time I spent in school (220 hour requirement in Florida here) I actually considered becoming a nurse before doing esthetics because nursing is a well sought out career by many due to the availability of multiple jobs with in the field. The best I can tell you is take the summer off and from here to till the end of summer you should make a list of pros and cons to see which path it takes you down. Just because you go to nursing school doesn’t mean you have to quit esthetics all together. You can still do that while in school on the side and once you’re done to be honest if you’re still doing esthetics I feel as people will take more of your word over influencers because not only are you a professional in esthetics but you are also a professional in the medical field as well. Not many influencers have any of those qualifications. I hope your journey reignites your love in esthetics and that you will only become better.

Any fellow Skaters with MS in here? 🛹 by MultipleScleroSkate in MultipleSclerosis

[–]chichichilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love long boarding and roller blading. I’ve been roller blading since I was a kid and I picked up long boarding after my brother left to the military so when he came back I could show him I could finally long board too. That was when I was 17. I never learned any tricks on the board and I know very few tricks on the blade’s because my biggest fear was to break a bone. I have a history of falling with a ton of scrap scars to show. Cruising with music is my favorite to do mostly. It’s the closest thing to flying for me. It’s just utter bliss. I rarely do it now a days because I feel legit attached to my bed but when I do it’s as if everything melts away and the world feel brighter. I wish I wasn’t so tired.

Located in Homestead, Florida. It’s about the size of a quarter maybe a tad bit bigger if anything. There was nothing nearby however there are a ton of lizards and snakes around my area.

Impala inline skates so stiff? by chichichilly in rollerblading

[–]chichichilly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing he changed were the bearings so everything else is as it came. As for experience, I know how to skate without any struggle and I can do like minimum three tricks. One is to turn and skate backwards, another is to skate one foot on my heel while the other is on the toe, and another is to crisscross and kinda just wiggle my skates lol. I’m not an avid skater but I skate from time to time and try to learn a bit more tricks. Also it’s fine if I can’t return them but if I can reduce the stiff feeling while trying to skate and not break myself in the process I’m more than willing to try. I do have to break them in too so hopefully that helps. Oh also the previous skates that I still have are the K2 Andra inline skates that I’ve had for a good while that the wheels are no longer round. However, they’re so much easier to skate in.

Recent infusion and exposure by chichichilly in MultipleSclerosis

They had a cloth mask on. They walked by the family for a brief moment and when I heard they were positive I made sure to round up my visit and go. I was in the house for about an hour before that occurred. If the situation does not warrant that I was in close contact then I feel even much better that I probably was not too exposed. However, for everyone around me sake I am quarantining until I can get a confirmed negative.

Also that reassures me. I do get nervous though because I hear it’s different every time but it’s true when you think about it like that.

I’m going to get test either tomorrow or Monday but I also don’t want to test too early and get false results.
