Just as a warning, this isn’t the happiest post ;v;)/
I’ve been super sick since Boxing Day with a bad tooth infection, I managed to get antibiotics and I’ve been on heavy meds for the past 2 weeks in preparation for when I can finally get into my own dentist ;-; It’s been so bad aaaa I’m not looking forward to my dental bills this year;;
Dealing with other dentists has been so rough with empty promises etc, I’m so disappointed in the state of how these dental offices are working in the U.K. since covid. I’m studying as a med student in a pharmacy and the amount of people who are trying everything for at home remedies for tooth pain is so upsetting. </3 my pharmacist was great and was pushing me to contact the people I need to even when I was on shift so I was really thankful for that (but I think he was also just happy I was making the effort to still come to work during the busiest time of the year despite the insane levels of pain I was in- better than sitting at home with no distractions though.)
Christmas and new year were really rough after we lost my grandad last year, and I truly felt so sad to the point I couldn’t enjoy any of it. I feel awful saying that as I love my family and friends dearly, but my heart is still grieving and I’m still learning how to tackle life feeling this way. We always had traditions and a lot of them revolved around him, so it felt empty and lonely trying to manoeuvre through those days without him there.
My mum was diagnosed with skin cancer and had 2 operations this year, and thankfully (with everything crossed) is clear at the moment, we got the news of her having that the day after we found out my grandads funeral date, so it’s really, really been the worst year of our lives.
So I’m still in a lot of pain, And I know I’ll be having more procedures for other health complications sometime this year but I’m glad the most stressful period of work is coming to a close and I can focus on my studying more (I hope!) I might try and take some time out of work to do a bit of self healing. I’m struggling at the moment but I’m not at the point where my mental health is drowning, I’m just... tired? Exhausted, actually. I just know I have to take time for it soon. There’s some other things happening in my personal life I can’t mention here just yet, but I hope will get better quickly.
I also wanted to thank you guys so much for your support this year and helping me through some rough patches earlier this year when I lost my grandad, this is truly the kindest and most welcoming Community that I’m blessed to be a part of, so thank you again. I’ll forever cherish this place. ❤️

Heartbroken to add that I lost an amazing auntie in February to health complications, so we lost 3 family members this year. It’s been awful and I’m trying to navigate these emotions and life as well as being there for my family, but it is heavy. I love you guys;;
