Block Out Curtains in General Things
I’ve been hallucinating. Mostly it’s sounds, like music sounds. Xylophone or drum noises or like a popping, basketball bouncing, someone talking indistinctly, singing. It’s usually outside so I ...
Its been a while. in General Things
It’s always been a while, right? I basically only come here when shit goes wrong. Sorry. I just feel like writing about the daily dolldrums would be non-productive for all parties. It’s coming up...
One foot in front of the other. in General Things
I have a job now. It’s even in the Health Science field, which is my undergrad degree. I am now an official Respiratory Scientist. I only have three subjects until I graduate. The Ian thing is ok...
Resolution? in General Things
I disappeared, sorry if that has worried anyone. I’m okay. Ian drove two hours in the following weekend, and the floodgates opened. He confessed to feeling dissociated from his daughter, and vehe...
Silence in General Things
On Sunday, I lost it. I melted down again at Ian, because he won’t communicate anything with me. He won’t even communicate that it is difficult to communicate. He just does and says nothing. He...
Shit's fucked in General Things
yep Dear Ian, I don’t know anymore. I need you to communicate with me. I don’t understand why words are so hard. I have had to say hard words.. I have been pushed to the brink where I was forced ...
Exclusion in General Things
Abnormal Pap results. Colposcopy scheduled, maybe a biopsy, and a swab for HPV but they’re pretty sure it’s a risky one because of the epithelial growth. Fuck. Sworn at by Ian because, tired of ...
Stimulation and Harvest in General Things
IVF stimulation isn’t so bad. I had a couple of scans to count egg follicles and confused every sonographer because I have an IUD as well. “So… erm… how is this going to work, exactly?” ‘Oh no, ...
Needle Fun Times in General Things
I had a whole day of panic yesterday after realising my cycle was starting. I checked the diary and it was due. That meant needles. Self administered needles. Today started needles and omg it wa...
$ in General Things
We have $205 to feed us over the next two weeks and $672 in immediate bills. I don’t know what to do.
It ends crying. in General Things
Supposed to be studying. I don’t think there’s much chance I’ll fit any more information about immunology into my brain so I’m just going to focus on what I already know and revise that. I need 5...
Kids, man. in General Things
I was thinking earlier about how much of a cunt my brother is, but managed to suppress the impulse to type a cathartic rant about it by the time I got a spare moment to log in here. In the meanti...
Rainbow Baby in General Things
One year ago, my friend gave birth to their Rainbow Baby (baby born after loss/miscarriage) after five rounds of IVF. And that was it for me. I had a friend in high school who suffered Endometrio...
Balls. in General Things
Well, I went to therapy. It was balls. I mean it’s properly serious this time. The things I can disclose to friends jokingly like when my mum gave me her hand me down vibrator “because I bought m...
Sliced Bread in General Things
Here I am in the library again, hating at people. People are noisy and make smells. I had to sit at a desk up against a window so I am basically a live mannequin on a computer. I have a test in h...
Something Profound in General Things
Well, I was going to write something but then I read all of my bookmarks and now I’m here.. with one cold hand and one warm hand, waiting for Ian to arrive from 2 hours away so I can eat. He is l...
More Drunk in General Things
So prosebox has changed layout since six months ago. It’s so white and weird and clean so unlike the reason, I assume, people partake in blogs. ANYWHO I’m drunk again. Drunk-box. The cat is looki...
Six Months in General Things
It’s been six months since last log in. I’m sorry. Also I’m a bit drunk. That Bearded Lady Moonshine is SO GOOD. But I switched to decent but cheap wine (Johhny Q 2014 Shiraz). Uni is okay. I thi...

Some time later. in General Things
Well, it was slightly longer than a month before Dad started attempting contact. He started to call Ian as I continued to block and ignore his attempts. I felt I needed to offer an explanation, p...
Going Complete No Contact and Donating Life in General Things
I can no longer maintain contact with anyone in my family. Mum has too much control. I called my brother to ask he appologise for calling me horrible, and he went on this massive tirade about.. b...
A Secret Not So Secret Trip in General Things
My father always sends me a text when he is leaving to travel somewhere. And another text when he arrives. Instead, this time I get a photo message from my mother, of my nephew, and it is clear t...
Decided in General Things
I’m tipsy, so bear with me and my typos. I needed to start deciding about people whom use and hurt me. I am too forgiving and quite frankly, a door mat. So a few months ago when my neighbor abus...
bcc: family in General Things
Dear Mother, Well. I just don’t know. Lets start here: You guys harassed me for years to explain ‘the problem’. And when backed into a corner, I did, thrice. But it was like my voice was the b...
Test Time in General Things
My scans were re scheduled to tomorrow. 12 hours from now I’m being prodded in the boobs. I had the brain CT last week while kids were at school. They said it was fine without injecting contrast,...
