As a woman , I had so many bad experiences that I have turned into a sceptic and in general such a pessimistic person. I want to change my outlook on life.
Is there an act of kindness from somone that you'll always remember?
I have taught middle school but this academic year I'm substituting as a high school teacher. Grade 11th and 12th. So 17 18 year olds.
I'm 27 years also.
People tell me I am very soft and have a very helpless looking face. Like I look like I need to be rescued.
I got the job as a substitute teacher to teach high school. The management told me the following things about the students
I'm new so they'll try to manipulate me
They'll test me
They'll compare me to their permanent teacher (going on maternity leave)
I have to be strict
I will have to work really hard because they too have high expectations.
Apart from working on my content knowledge and pedagogy what else can I do.
I am so scared.
I thought I would share a happy moment with the community.
Periods weren't celebrated enough because I got them every month. Until, I stopped getting the regular flow, missing them, getting random spotting throughout the month, and finally skipped a whole 2 month. That's when I decided to go see a doctor.
I got diagnosed with PCOS now known as PMOS. I was devastated. My doctor prescribed me inositol. She asked me to make a lifestyle change else it could get worse.
I had been depressed for many years but the pcos especially made it tough. I would be on the floor, crying. FOR NO REASON AT ALL. I was crying everyday. A lot.
I went for a walk every evening. Cut junk food.
My best friend and I would track each others steps. Who could complete 10k steps. Honestly she was my motivation.
Then I saw people running on the road. So I started running too. Turns out I enjoyed running so I ran everyday. I lost 10 kg in a year.
My depression got better too. It was mostly the pcos fucking with my hormones. I started drawing. Started an Instagram e comic page too. Enjoyed life and lastly
I wasn't crying out of the blue anymore. I still cry but it's better now.
And my periods? They came back. And what a grand come back it made. It's been 4 months of regular on date periods. I celebrate them with a chocolate now.
The cramps are back too but oh well. Can't have eveything in life.
Lastly just want to say. Don't lose hope. Keep doing it everyday.
