April was rough, mental health-wise.
I'm OK - just having to adapt and take care.
...It's kind of worse when there's no real reason or trigger because there's nothing you can blame, y'know?
...and it really doesn't help that the pollen this year is exceptionally, brutally, high, so my hayfever is extra-present this year.
Kind of hard to focus on your mental health when the pollen is making you feel like a zombie, lol.
(Oh, and hayfever is linked to climate change. #TrueStory.)
Still, baby steps!
Any month you can walk away from is a good one! 😅
And I didn't have a migraine this month! Woo! Lol.
I'm quite pleased with this month's random assortment of posts.
- Hope you like 'em too! 😊

...And that's April! How was yours?
Talk to me! 😊💬
Ugh I'm so sorry that you're having allergies on top of mental health problems. I always feel silly for being so incapacitated by allergies, but they really do ruin a day/week/month, even if everything else is ticking along just fine (which it isn't! for anyone! the world is garbage!). Hugs, and I hope it gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteAllergies suck, and even non-anaphylactic ones (thankfully all of my known allergies are non-anaphylactic,) can be *so* bad. I have a lot of skin allergies - like a *lot* of skin allergies - and for the past year or two my hayfever has decided to add a skin allergy component, so I have to remember to put a scarf or wide headband in my hair, or my scalp goes bright red and feels burn-y. So much fun, lol!
DeleteThank you - hope everything's going OK for you! <3
Wouldn't pollen (alien pollen??) turning us into zombies be a fun story? Adds a new wrinkle to allergy season. *Cough* anyway- looks like a nice April post- wise. Sorry it was a rough one- hope May is a better month!
ReplyDelete...I'm not sure I'd find that fun! Lol. Would be interesting, I'll give you that! :)
DeleteThanks - have a good May! :)
"Kind of hard to focus on your mental health when the pollen is making you feel like a zombie, lol."
ReplyDeleteUgh. You don't deserve to fight two battles at once. I hope things will get better soon, and anyhow, you should be proud of all the posts you managed to bring forth no matter what!
Thank you so much - that's so sweet! :) I do have hayfever tablets, which make things a little better, but they also make me tired sometimes (and I babble nonsense when I'm tired! Lol.)
DeleteI'm really sorry it was a tough month, Cee! My family get horrible allergies so I can definitely relate to you feeling like a zombie. My dad relates it to your head being in the clouds, it's not a fun feeling at all. I do hope you have a much better May.
ReplyDelete...I think of it more like being pricked by thorns, but it's not fun generally, no! Thanks, Em :) <3
