Cynni's Blog<p><strong>Hip update…</strong></p> ...kind of... 😇 I start writing this post 5 days before the scheduled call from the surgeon. I got the puncture done 8 days ago. And the surgeon will call me in 5 days (as I write this). Unfortunately... It's a 15:00 call, so I'll have the whole day to be anxious about it. As I'm already anxious about it now. I mean, I know I need a surgery. I know that hip bowl (or is it a cup?) needs to be placed in the right position again. So my leg can stop "wobbling", so it can stop tingling, […] <p><a href="https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/03/26/hip-update/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/</span><span class="invisible">03/26/hip-update/</span></a></p>

:neuro: Pixy's Journey :v_bi:<p>:ablobcatheartsqueeze:</p><p>Ello sweet Friendo, fankoos 💜 for clicking on the read bit to show you my CW Toot. It may be a longer one, as I'm struggling at the moment and I need to clear my head... And I'm "abusing" this Toot to do so...</p><p>We got back from the SniffBook walkies. I felt a bit sad. Like I didn't want it to end already. Even though I had not written as much for my blog as I usually do during the SniffBook round I struggled with finding the right words. There were so many going through my mind and I could not find the right filter to get my thoughts out right.<br>I hope this makes any sense, as it may be confusing as heck, and believe me, that's how I felt too...</p><p>I went upstairs, did I my usual blog bit and... I felt sad. I felt restless. I didn't feel like being inside. I didn't feel like riding the bike or playing a game. I needed to go out again... Walking, especially during night time, helps me to clear my mind. It's been an hour since we got back. So I asked Arwen for another walk. She probably wasn't expecting the one we just walked... She reluctantly followed, but she may have sensed my mood, as she followed the lead and then took the lead...</p><p>I could have walked without her. In Cuijk, I've walked the SniffBook walkies without her when she was staying with my parents. But... It felt odd, it felt off, I was missing my partner in crime. Plus I've felt like people were less weird about seeing someone walk their dog at weird times. And if someone would say anything, I could always "blame" Arwen's age and her need for walkies. I know... I could say I need them! As that is so very true... But not many people find a nightly active live to be "normal" and when I feel this low, I can't really deal with any judgment. If that makes sense... 🤔</p><p>Maybe, if I've lived here longer, and maybe people that arw awake at this time are used to seeing us around... Maybe then I can walk on my own and just say that Arwen wasn't up to it and I was used to it? I wish it was more accepted that some people just thrive in the night more. Although, since I've moved, the people that I've told.... Most have been really understanding. 😊 But since I'm still very new here, I just don't wanna stand out too much... Don't need the attention. That's why I'm awake at night... 😂</p><p>But I'm struggling, both mentally as physically. I've tooted about that before, many times I fear 🫣. Hope people don't think me a whining asshat at this point... Hence this long Toot with the CW. I'll probably also use this Toot as a base for a blog post soon...</p><p>My body is sore. I've been eating more and exercising less... So I've gained some weight. The weather improved a while and I slowly did better. But now the humidity is crazy again, and so is my body... My muscles and some tendons react poorly to humidity. Also why the situation with the house triggers me at times, a *lot*, and why I spend some money (that I'd prefer to use for other things) on using the dehumidifier, especially in my bedroom before sleeping. I struggle with motivation for my exercises, as they don't feel as good as they should. I always had moments where my motivation soared and then crashed, but all this discomfort (and pain....) makes it hard to keep going. While I *know* that if I keep working on it, it will help me in the long run... That's why I try to keep doing the bare minimum at times. But my mind is sad about it, as it does mean that I lose some of my progress that I worked so hard for...</p><p>My eyes and ears are more sensitive. At times, my tinnitus gets louder and I'll need a *very* dark room, painkillers and the TV on for some "white noise". With the house being in a construction area... It means loads of noise! Building noises, loud radio's, trucks and cranes... And when you're sensitive to that, it's even worse on the bad days... I moved to get out of the noise! And now... I knew the area was a new neighborhood being built, but I guess part of me hoped that the houses would all be done around the same time... Very naive, I know... But there's always some wishful thinking, I guess....</p><p>While I try to get enough sleep, somehow I rarely need to use my alarm. And when I do use it, I wake up very groggy... 😔 Some days, I get a decent night where I feel rather good. But lately, I've been having more "silly" dreams. I never remember my dreams. But I remember the weird (often restless) feeling I have when I wake up. And there's the occasional nightmare as well... And I don't remember those either, but I feel most are shadows of the past that keep haunting me, even many years after the facts. 😢 So while I "have" enough time for what should be a good night, it's often just OK enough. Some people suggested a nap during the day. I'm not good with those... If I do fall asleep on the couch, it often makes me either very groggy, or I'll wake up and then have trouble sleeping during my "usual" bed times...</p><p>Because my physical health is struggling, my mental health is also affected. Of course it already struggled with the effects of the move. But I had hoped that, when I'd find a routine that would work for Arwen and myself, that it would get easier. And it does help! That's for sure. But the issues with the house, with Skoosh, with money... It's stress that I can't seem to handle well. And while I try to keep things relative, while I try to plan and tell myself that it's OK that it takes time... Part of me keeps being triggered... And it's exhausting me...</p><p>I wanna do so much. Good things. Positive things. Progress. Satisfaction. But it just isn't going as I hoped it would. And while things could always be worse, I guess, I also feel like they could be better. Which makes it harder for me to focus on the positive changes and things that I've been doing.</p><p>I'm sabotaging myself. And the worst thing is, I *know* I'm doing it....</p><p>In a world as I would love it to be... (bear with me, this is pure fantasy) I'd love to be healthy. No sensitivity issues, no pain, the ability to have a good job that I love and that pays me well. I know that a job also will mean a different life style and routine... But it also would mean no discomfort to battle every day, and, probably enough money to not have to worry about getting things that I'd love to get or that I'd need... My house would be all finished and perfect... My gardens would be beautiful and easy to manage. And my dog would be healthy forever and live to be 20, at least...</p><p>I know, very unrealistic... Told you it was fantasy...</p><p>I could have written this Toot from the hometrainer, from the couch, from anywhere I guess. But somehow... It felt *right* to write this during a SniffBook walkies. A second one... 🫣 I guess I do miss the old route we used to walk in Cuijk, which was longer and gave me more time and more bits where Arwen could be off leash and where it was easier for me to write more...</p><p>We're slowly getting closer to home now. It's 5AM now, and I guess, if weather allows, that Arwen would not wanna miss out on the Herperduin walkies. My weather station said sunrise would be around 7. So I'll let Arwen rest, as I'm sure she needs that. I will probably watch some TV, as my controller is charging at the moment... And I'm not focused enough for a game... So TV and couch time with Arwen... Around 6:30 I'll take Arwen to Skoosh and we'll leave for the Herperduin. If weather allows..... 🤞🏻</p><p>Fankoos 🫶🏻 for staying till the end of my ramblings... I dunno how much I'll be online. I dunno how my mood will be... Let's just see how it goes...</p><p>🧚🏼‍♀️ 🍀 💜 🐾</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/PixysJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PixysJourney</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PhysicalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhysicalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Struggles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Struggles</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Depression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Depression</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AutisticBurnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticBurnout</span></a></p>
Fi<p>Today has been a noisy brain day. </p><p>What do I mean by that?</p><p>Well, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> brain said one thing, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> brain said another <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PhysicalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhysicalHealth</span></a> brain was laughing at them. </p><p>I spent too long getting sucked down a social media wormhole, that made me really start to loathe my physical form, despite the fact that I am trying to get that back to a better place. Then I started to realise I have nothing of any importance to say, so why bother being on social media. And then...I realised that I am really fucking annoying when all I do is talk about myself, its kinda hard to talk about other things when every day, it's just me, in the house, with my will they/won't they co=operate with my brain hobbies. </p><p>So that led me down the path of realising "fuck me Fi, you really are boring, why bother being here", I won't mention the thoughts from earlier on about body image. </p><p>I would love to wrap this toot up with some witty insight, but I don't have one. </p><p>Life with chronic illness is shite, life recovering from breakdown/burnout is shite. Life is generally shite. </p><p>I don't have the energy to fake it on here, and I don't have the energy to fake the niceties when you start telling me what I should do/what will help etc. I've lived this life for over 20 years, I keep fighting, showing up, all that jazz. Just let me have one space where I don't have to worry about people being condescending/treating me like my family used to. Just let me be me. </p><p>So, TLDR, fuck off, let me use my social media space in the way I want to. </p><p>My spoons are rusted in the bottom of the sink, so sometimes a favourite is all you will get, and if my AltTxt is missing...its cause I am posting on my phone and my hands won't work. </p><p>I should shut up now. </p><p>If you read this far, I love you and think you are a superstar....just so you know 😘</p>
