Intro To Molly 101

Like it says in my description I guess you can say things are a bit strange in my life. Let me elaborate a little bit on what I mean by that.

1. I have a heart condition (I was born with it) that's not even the biggest mess in my life. I feel like at this point in my life and every time that I go back to my cardiologist's office he just keeps telling me that I am getting more and more strong, so I guess that's a really really really good thing.

2. I had a stroke when I was six. That's a bigger issue in my life right now. I have come a long way from when I was little but the dystonia just doesn't seem to be getting any better like no matter how many treatments I get. That's another thing, the treatments for dystonia, no matter how funny it might sound, is actually BOTOX. I've been getting this treatment before botox became "a thing". Even though for the life of me I will never understand why people would put themselves through that much pain. I have always gotten it with anesthesia before and now that I have switched to MGH I don't get that VIP treatment anymore. So when he jabbed that needle in my foot and I was screaming in pain, ya not fun. AT ALL. I get why people do get botox but at the same time I don't get it. It's complicated and confusing for me.

 3. I'm turning 26 on Sunday. This is weird for me, I don't know how I feel about being 26, what a funny age that is. What's not so funny about this age is switching insurances from my parent's one. I'm so mad because I had tufts navigator which was really the absolute best. I loved it. It was just always there and easy to manage. Now I've taken my companies premium insurance (because you never know when the next surgery could pop up, ugh). It's just a big mess changing insurance because I have had to tell my dystonia doctor, cardiologist, pcp, my icd people, my coumadin people, and my at home testing people (also a long story). I dunno it just seems like a big hassle but I know I shouldn't be complaining because at least I have health insurance so there's that. But this is also my blog and I don't think anyone's going to read it so I can pretty much do whatever I want. haha!

4. My grumpy fucking light of my life Charlie. We rescued him from a shelter two years ago. At first I didn't want him (I know I'm so mean) because he didn't play or run or jump or anything he just sat like a lump on our couch for like a month. And his tail was always down which made me sad :(. But finally after a few months when he got more comfortable with us he finally came out of his shell and his tail did this cute curlycue thing and he's happy now. I hope he is, he seems it. He's a long haired dachshund mix and they say he was abused. But I don't know how anyone can do that to animals, like seriously so fucked up beyond belief. Like they took a normal dog and scared him enough to make him not play with toys, to always guard his food, and he's like a tiny beast around other dogs. He HATES other dogs which is a real shame because I've always wanted to take him to the dog park. I know I'm a big dreamer right?

5. Living with my parents, you know what? This is the least complicated part of my entire life at the moment. I actually enjoy living with my parents and if it was more culturely acceptable I would live with them forever (just don't tell them that, it'll go to their heads).

6. I know I didn't mention this in the description but I have a boyfriend. Hallelujah!!!! Finalyy, Molly has a boyfriend. A little background, I have never dated until this year because I am an extremely awkward person. Luckily I found someone who appreciates that. I know he loves me but secretly I don't really know why. I dunno my insecureities come out a lot in our relationship and I'm working on them. I'm kind of terrified that my insecurities will one day take over our relationship and he'll dump me. Wow that's depressing I don't think I've ever thought/written/ or said that outloud. Yikes.

7. I have a fitblr which in tumblr terms means a blog about everything to do with health. I also post things about fitness, healthy and clean eating, veganism (even though I'm a sorry excuse for anything that comes close to one lol), workout challenges, eating disorder recovery (I'm currently trying my damnedest to recover from binge eating, although I've never clinically been diagnosed it's pretty clear to me that I have a problem). I actually told Bryan (bf) about it and he was the first person I had ever told. It was kinda freeing but now I'm afraid he looks at me differently. I dunno. ANYWAYS my fitblr is all about positive thinking and motivation which I try to maintain throughout my days. I really really do try and stay positive in spite of everything that I've been through.

Okay I think that's enough for now. I'll be posting pretty sporadically throughout the day. I'm really going to try and make this blog stick. I think it's a good way to release some of my thoughts that I'm having.

Thanks for listening :)
