Body parts

in Black And White2 years ago

Our car is still dead, or just pretending to be, however it didn't make it much easier for us, on the contrary.
The next time I hear someone say - a car is not necessary, I will give them a shopping list and my bike.
See ya 20km later...

My body is changing... And I don't just mean visual appearance, which I don't care in the sense of how many kilos are hanging around.

Endurance, I don't count birthdays, but my body is telling me - I'm getting old, then I sit down and think about what I was capable to do at a younger age, 48 hours of sleeplessness?
No problem.
Work all day and then ride a bike 40km?
No problem.
Paint the whole apartment in a day?
No problem...and the list goes on and on.
Seems like payback time has come, my back hurts a lot.

I can feel the pressure in the lower part, like it's going to explode, my ovaries are pulsing, they act like it's tight in there. Grabbing my Pilates ball and letting all my nerves to stretch out, I can hear muffled crackling. Pain is a pleasure, this time. Mind is still wandering around, sharp pain brings it back from the last party I attended, recently I stumped on those photos, me sitting in lazy bag, sun just came up,I'm smiling, mid pale, tired as hell but happy.

My skin is adjusted on moisture products, you know those shiny little packages that promises flawless skin just in two weeks, not using them anymore except for the glycerin, transition is kind of rough. Seems like all my imperfections are finally gathered, still don't care, in front of my eyes flashes the image of me standing in front of the mirror, skin and bones, tanned skin, perfectly tight, my bones are visible. I loved my visible bones, they was a mark I'm having a perfect weight - back then when I convinced myself I can go for days without eating.

Nowadays, it's a tough mission to shut the people up, when they start criticizing my eating habits, let me eat the whole package of cookies you @#%#^, finally I'm in peace with it. You don't know, you wasn't there when I had fear from it.

Can you guess numbers of times I lied about having a meal?
Me neither, I stopped counting.

Push that chin back, lemme see those hormones that are peeking under it. Yeah, I mean those hairs, do you grow beard?
Sometimes I wanna punch people in the face when they try to make a joke about it. Educate yourself and please do not try to be funny about it, cause you can not laugh at it, it's not yours, it's mine and that allows me to be selfish about it, those are mine hormones!
Go, get yourself a pair.
And don't ask me will I have a kids, you see? I don't know!

And I am sad about it, lately often, so shhh.

I mean I can handle everything, I convinced myself into it, but there is a tiny little spark that makes me nervous each time when that topic is brought on the table, it burns my tummy.
Breath in - breathe out, could I do something different? Was I supposed to make things looks different?

That clock runs out... I'm deeply late.

Last curve, my mind runs upfront, I am old and my memories are old.
But I'm still convinced things were as they supposed to be, slight changes that I've made doesn't change the facts as they are.

We aren't meant for everything, and I'm longing home, am I allowed to say that out loud as a grown up person?

@monochromes, this is my entry for the #monomad challenge, thank you all for your time and interest in what I do.

Sort:  

You are allowed to say anything you feel! I had never wanted to have kids, then had a moment in my life where I regretted that decision. Came back around to not wanting them again but I know how strong that sensation is. I feel for you.

I hope you didn't hurt yourself squishing your head back like that.

Oh, and I have a beard, too. Since I was in my 20s. I am a primate. Hair grows on me with great glee.

I wanted, and I still want them even tho I'm not sure how good would I be playing that role, but mother nature has it own plans not including my opinion.

You got it, right word - sensation.

(remembered you on that chin photo), I have them since PCOS syndrome is established, had no idea they come to stay, not the best tenants to live with.

Oh nooooooo, my cousin has PCOS and it sucks. I don't think I have it, just an angry uterus that threatens to kill me once a month if I don't overeat in fetal position. And a beard. Kind of a mustache, too.

I wanted, and I still want them even tho I'm not sure how good would I be playing that role, but mother nature has it own plans not including my opinion.

I hope that you and mother nature can arrange some kind of settlement. Something to make up for it. Some kind of balance and fulfillment.

Yup, suck a looooot.
Remember well all the airy buns and sugary treats you enjoyed around here as I have to dump them fornotsurehowlongagain.

PCOS can easily lead you to Diabetes, there is no exact cure, periods are painful as hell - literally. You might grow hairs, but you hair also might starts to fall off....

Ummmm, still negotiating, however I promised my self I will never go for artificial insemination, that's mentally and physically torture.

My cousin with PCOS lost hair, but I honestly think it was more the stress of being married to a controlling maniac abuser... it stopped thinning after she divorced him and moved across the country. She and I still regularly converse about our beard hairs.

My cousin who tried artificial insemination also said it was all kinds of torture.

I have periods (of time, not menstrual) where I over-indulge the sweets and starches. I don't know how much it affects my cycle (which can be pretty mean but not quite PCOS status), but I will get super greasy and my scalp will get itchy and oily. It comes on quick and I have to ditch the goodies for a while. The resulting scalp scabs I get to pick afterwards are the only up-side to the reaction.

Depending on the person, hair loss can also be part of it + additional stress. PCOS should stay away frok stressful situations as it's just makes the things worst.

My period cycle disappeared in my 20s (when I found out PCOS) for about 3 years.... That was pure hormonal torture... Cysts are being fed with sugar, what can get you in the worst condition....

Artificial insemination is NO way, my friend had it, I've spent whole time with her and that is a nightmare, torture for body, mind and everyone around, first time failed and she was three months pregnant - devastating.

Luckily she was persistent and now they are having gorgeous twins, but I'm still not for it, too much suspense...

I'm a very cysty person. Mine really like lactose, and if I eat too much milk stuff I break out in crazy cystic acne all over my back and butt and sometimes other places and it looks like I got attacked by wasps. But sugar in general makes everything hurt. Last few days I was wondering why my body felt so abnormally inflamed and then I remembered all the candy and sweets I've been eating like it's the holidays again. Spring fever maybe. Sugar substitutes for not having a boing-boing buddy.

When my cousin was doing the IVF she was constantly spouting out information that seemed like complex mathematical equations having to do with when to go on and off birth control and harvest eggs etc. She and her husband have one kid and want another, but her body doesn't seem interested in pregnancy. She knows so much about her endocrine system at this point she could be given a license to practice as a specialist.

Beautiful. Damn those hormones. At 51 I try to eat well and less but if I stray slightly it all lands on my freaking hips. Xx Beautiful words and photos. X

I don't have to wait that long, my genetics took care of it since day one. 😂

Hormones are litlle b**** on so many levels, tough to fight with...

Very much thank you 🫠
