How to adult with Joy

Started my ADHD meds 🥹🥹l also want to go tive💕😞😞

I finally saw the big boss at the end of the ADHD journey- I had to pass all the small bosses and side quests before I reached this destination and I was honestly afraid he would tell me I couldn’t have treatment. But, alas I’ve been offered a life line - methylphenidate. The treatment starts tomorrow

Dating in your 20s was so much easier than in your 30s…It used to be a simple matter if someone liked you or not! Now I have to consider if they want kids, prenups, mortgages, existing kids, per allergies.. mbti?

I also reflect on two very different stroke patients this week. One who died and one who survived despite having all the risk factors..

A long reflective episode!

This episode will explore my process of selling my ADHD diagnosis with the psychologist and what tests they did on me. I am now questioning my entire life and feel like I am having a identity crisis :(

Working with the stroke team and what I learnt so far …

Saw my first cardiac arrest in public space today.. fancy ECPR and ECMO Machines.. super fancy.

Also, it’s been a while since i updated.. so much has happened.. and the GAMSAT sadly did not this time :(. Forgot to say, I paid a fee and they allowed me to defer to September this year instead. I got sick, but mum came to save the day ! Also, the hospital corrected my acidosis and low bsls.. lol ..

I’ve started the ADHD assessments with the psychologist. I talk about the mental health stigma people still have till this day. Also, have been going on a bit of a health journey during my annual leave and got my iron infusion finally! Also talking about parking battles with neighbours.

I’ve started a new instagram blog focussing just on my health journey - Instagram handle: mybodyrx

I am terribly sick again 🥲.. this time with RSV and possibly whooping cough? My GP used AI in our consult today!

Have completed Gamsat section 2 via painful proctoring at home.. snd section 1 +3 will be on 22nd of March!

Also, I explain why I am a sad gal..😭

PS forgot to mention happy birthday to my cute 1 year old kitty Nezumi❤️

All about the Netflix series: Trauma code and how I discovered my hospital has a Trauma Centre! Also touch base on the medical student who was recently found impersonating a surgeon ! He even made his own website and photoshopped his degrees…but he forgot to register on AHPRA 😏. I am also a couple sleeps away from the first part of the GAMSAT exam which used to be called section two🤣

I went for a fructose intolerance test at my gastro clinic. It was not the most pleasant experience, but it will hopefully help me lessen down my constant bloating 🥲. I also missed the Keshi concert (again) 😔..

This episode is all about me buying crypto with a credit card and getting my credit card cancelled 🤣… I can only laugh in hindsight. Remember, only invest in what you can afford go lose 😔

I went on 16 first dates in one night! You bet this introverted girl was tired AF. I share what I learnt from this experience, and maybe dating apps don’t suck all that much after all.

Do I have ADHD? I guess we will have to wait to find out! An update on what’s been happening in the last few weeks… I see my gynaecologist for my post surgery appointment in which I may need an iron infusion…Then my gastroenterologist recommended me to get tested for lactose intolerance! So many medical things to do this year! Welcome to 2025 🌞

Goal of being more selfish in 2025 🤔

Yeah you heard it right!

This episode talks about the Squid game season 2 maccas meal and how I am up to episode 3!

I chat about my recent trip to Adelaide over Christmas.

I also finally talk about how I want to be less an empath and more selfish this year . Another goal being kinder to myself and others (strangers).

I want to uniquely me and want to find those accept me for who I am and not what they want me to be.

Whats your goals for 2025?

I go through another birthday and some traumatic times which leads me back to another mid-life crisis.

It’s probably been about two years or so since I first heard about endometriosis and how I would be able to get it diagnosed. It was a long journey to get to where I am today to get answers to my why my periods were so heavy, so painful, and left my iron deficient. I finally was told post surgery, you do have endometriosis after all and hence that explains the pain, bloating, and heavy bleeds. I go through my experience in the private hospital sector, which wasn’t as pleasant as I had hoped it would be.

How do we decide what is worth spending money on? Why does everyone seem richer than me? I explore what it means to be grateful for what you have and not to look around and compare. Comparison is the thief of Joy or something like that (pun not intended). Also, I literally go through a whole day off with me.😂

So my neurologist just casually asked if I plan to have kids, because he forgot to say I have to be off my medications for at least-6 months. I’ve been on o medication for over a year now…🙂‍↕️. Thanks for helping me solidify my decision to not have kids as I don’t want my migraines back😡

I find out I have an UTI in the weirdest way possible…and that there a covid outbreak on my ward🥲… I highly recommend listening to the interview that Life Uncut podcast did with Brits neurologist! I am glad its not just me who worries if I can have kids when I have such severe migraines 🥲.

This episode starts off talking about the death of a patient and how weird hospitals are. I also talk about a patient who had a code blue today!

I talk about a comic from the woke salaryman instagram!

Like and subscribe pls 🥰🎉

Do you ever dream about a random ex and then wake up with the urge to stalk their instagram? Well I did, and boy was I surprised at what I found. I also tried a kpop dance class and I sucked majorly..! I also can’t even look at myself when dancing 😦… body dysmorphia is a real phenomenon😪.. also, I am going through menopause at 33…

Do you ever work with people who are always consistently late?! Have you ever had such entitled spoilt students??! I also talk a lot about the migraine injection that has changed my life 💕Emgality and revoking the number of times I have choked in public

My first time renting out was an interesting one.. started off good and then ended terribly. But finely they moved out last week and now I can finally talk about it freely at home. 🏠

What happens during a hypnotherapy session 💭! I go through what it’s like to have gut-directed hypnotherapy sessions at home with the Nerva app my gastroenterologist has recommended me. I also discuss how women live longer when single and with no kids 🙂‍↕️. Did you know married men live longer but not married women?🤔

*Spoiler Alert* 🚨 I talk about the Thai Movie “How to make millions before Grandma dies”, a heartwarming movie that will make you reflect on your own family and make you miss them 🥹. Highly recommend!
