although i have been drawing today, i have also been doing a display at the library for next week. I thought as i left i should have taken a photo to add to my blog...maybe next week. if you want to check it out, heres the link: http://www.mentalhealth.org.nz/page/995-home.
this morning as i pottered around home, i got a call from my GP saying she had looked at my last ecg and they have found that the electricity in my heart is moving around in a different way than it should. she was a little concerned so has sent it off to a specialist to look at. small things like this, this week in particular makes me think how much stress i have put my body under and the damage i have caused it. i left the pharmacy the other day with two big bags of medication for the month embarrassed that someone might see me, and was also told i needed a bone scan due to loss of bone density caused by years of restriction. for someone who is 25, is isn't how i imagined my life would turn out. i was always a healthy active kid who never really even got little sniffles...if someone had told me that i would be where i am today, i probably would have laughed at them.
as i got things ready for the display and as i read articles for my assignment due soon, it just makes you think about how precious like is.....and without the supports and family, its hard to know where i would be right now. so next week, take care of you, your body and your mind, and if you see people on the streets collecting for mental health awareness or have the time to take a look at the mental health website, do it as a little more awareness from everyone will go a long way.
