Current health situation

Hey there!

Long time no see, I know. Life kind of came and swept my feet away from underneath me. In the span of 1,5 month I've had multiple ER visits, three hospitalisations, SO many tests done, had a drain put through my back and met with a lot of doctors. It all started with an inflammation of the sack around the lung (pleurisy with a fancy name) that wouldn't go away despite anti-inflammatory drugs, which has turned into doctors believing I have a tumour called a thymoma and possibly one or a couple autoimmune diseases. I just posted a video on my youtube channel going a bit more into details of this whole ordeal and where we're at now, it can be found here.

This has been very challenging in regards to my mental health. At one point I had to be hospitalised for my mental health because I had trouble processing all the information and all the questions. The doctor there and I decided for me to only work half days instead of full time, which was incredibly scary considering I really wanted my new boss to like me. She was very understanding in the end, thankfully. It was definitely the right decision, because I can get home from work and still have a bit of energy left for the rest of the day, whereas I used to come home and just cry until I could go to bed.

As of now, I'm trying to take it one day and one appointment at a time, but it's easier said than done. I am home and relatively well physically right now. Having a health crisis while also struggling with your mental health brings up a bit of existential and difficult questions, but I'm trying to be as open as possible about them to people who care about me.

This is not the update I wish to post, but sometimes life just gets in the way of your plans, you know? I will continue to update both on here, youtube and instagram if you're interested in following my journey <3

Take care and stay safe!
