Mind Body and Trauma

[Mental Fairy]

This is the latest edition to the family. Fast is an understatement! I did take her for a spin when I got home, I’ve never sweated so much in my life. Even on hot day runs.

It's a beauty!

Note: I had a glass of red wine after work with a friend and immediately became angry. Is that normal ?

from wikipedia:

In vino veritas is a Latin phrase that means 'in wine, there is truth', suggesting a person under the influence of alcohol is more likely to speak their hidden thoughts and desires.

maybe there is rage just under the surface that you are suppressing

please take care, Mental Fairy

i wish my friends had the burden of poor mental health taken away, awesome people should be always feeling awesome and living awesome lives

Hi MM

It caught me by surprise. I had less than a glass, small amount and boom immediately angry. It was so strange. I hardly ever drink. It was so small and it blindsided me. It’s nuts.

Well, there certainly is so much to be angry about in this world!

What did your friend say, or think?

Hello Mental Fairy,

Just checking in.
Are you back from your bike adventure?
How'd it go?

Hi SD

Today was my first real mountain ride. Not mountain bike! I live very close to the mountain so behind my house is a road called Frankely Road, google map it. It takes you up a road that gives you a range of multiple options of what way to go. I could go to rangers, or head right and go south to Oakura. Today I picked to head directly up to the rangers and fly down with a childish giggle.

I am still getting used to clipping in and out of the bike. Had a near miss here and there with this little action.
In the mix I have been following a running plan and thankfully tomorrow is an off day so I can give the run a miss tomorrow.

Attending two retreats a week now for Yin Yoga on a Sunday evening and I’m doing music therapy type yoga and breath work on Wednesdays. I have to say the anxiety levels drop massively with the music and breath work class. The Yin yoga takes me a while to slow the brain matter down. I lay there wishing someone would fart.

Speaking of arses…omg my bowel has been a complete twat lately. Not sure what kicked off the withdrawal from working but it worked today for the first time in six days. Let just say it took me over a very flustered hour to find the plunger. WTF does keeping it behind the downstairs freezer make an emergency situation any less of an emergency. Anywho, I used the plunger while cursing the new extra wide three ply plush paper we got and guess what……..the bloody plunger got stuck. What’s a Crohn’s gal to do? Get on her bike asap and claim someone must of broken in to use the bog. So now it’s 5:17pm. Joe will be home soon to find a very erect wooden plunger nicely lodged in the crapper. I did think about using a knife to break the seal but with my accident prone list of things, I thought it best left for him. It’s in the marriage contract.

I did have two days in bed with really low emotions and did consider the worst option available but fell asleep, haven’t been that low in a while. That was midway through the week. Then I had music and breath work and came right again.

Hi MentalFairy

I love this update. I imagine you are a long-form alternative stand-up comedian. Not afraid to go to a real place. Still bringing the laughs.

Please take the very best care of yourself.

Thank you my friend. I needed to get my day on digital paper!

Huge hug to you MM
