Sorry your are feeling the mood rollercoaster. I hope its only temporary. Hormone levels can have a lot to do with that. When was the last time you had your levels checked? I hope it passes.

You're gorgous, AA. Whenever you feel down, hold onto that okay?

From one of your biggest cheerleaders and someone who believes in you very much.

Work was canceled today due to the cold weather. I had the option to come in, or take a PTO day. I took a PTO day, and was able to start my weekend early. 😎

I haven't shaved in a a few weeks, and having all that scruff on my face has been upsetting me, so I finally shaved. It's a relief to get that growth off my face. I've never had a ton of dysphoria from my facial hair, but it was starting to cause me discomfort.

I have to have a smooth shave every morning or else its a bit triggering, grey/white hairs so they dont show and not much growth but I need a smooth face. I get through a lot of razor blades to get a good shave.

Today was a really rough day. I've felt very down and discouraged all day. I hurt my back at the gym this morning, and that's added to all the unpleasantness I'm dealing with.

Hey Alana,
Those days are such a struggle when you can't get out of feeling down. Kinda all encompassing. I can't make it go away, but you're not alone. I hope that you can work through whatever is particularly adding to this feeling and find some peace soon. Of course I'm sending all my love kindness and hugs to you. I'm always open to reading both ups and downs people experience and helping if I can 😊

Love Charlotte 😻

Alana,

Get some rest. Take a relaxing bath. Think of happy moments.
