Puberty = Difficult

 

I was bullied all through puberty. It was the hardest time of my life. My children are just now going through puberty. Wow! Talk about moodiness! My kids are starting to get acne. I can see how much it is bothering them.
I have battled acne my entire life. Kids bullied me for many years and made fun of me. It was devastating.
I thought in my thirties, it would be over. I was wrong. This week I have battled acne like crazy. Everything and anything will cause me to get a zit. It is frustrating. I remember I received my first visit from the acne fairy at age 12. My face was covered with zits by age 13, and always oily. I was bullied and picked on until high school. I figured out how to cover up the pimples with make-up during high school. Thankfully, the terrible acne did not leave scars on my face. However, zits gave me a visit all through my twenties. My face completely cleared up in my thirties. It is wonderful!

The old pimple rival popped up again last week. I get really stressed when I get acne. Do you? I think the stress causes more acne! So, it is like a horrible conundrum. I switched make-up last week to a cheaper brand, so this is my punishment. During acne’s 20 year reign in my life, I have learned the things that cause acne and prevent pimples.

Here are the items that break me out in mountains of unwanted pimples:

  • Coffee
  • Coffee Creamer
  • Soda
  • Candy
  • Sugar
  • Cookies
  • Cake
  • Pizza
  • Cheap Make-up
  • Any lotion except Oil of Olay
  • Sunscreen of any kind (in make-up and in lotions)
  • Stress
  • Heat (I have to put ice cold water on my face after a shower)
  • Chips
  • French Fries
  • Chinese Food (no idea why)
  • Certain Vitamns
  • Certain Medications

A few tricks to defend against the enemy:

  • Salmon Oil (vitamins) prevent acne (inflammation)
  • Eating Salmon or Tuna
  • Aspirin (stops the inflammation) I take baby Aspirin
  • Splash ice cold water on your face in the am and pm
  • Sunscreen causes me severe acne
  • Vitamin D3 is an acne deterrent
  • Do not “pop” the pimples (can cause severe scars)

Acne is an inflammatory response. I try to be vigilant about not eating, drinking or taking any vitamins that cause inflammation in the body. There are several books written about inflammation. Inflammation in the body is the cause for acne.

Acne is a huge pain in the rear. If you are a young person who has severe acne, I know exactly how you feel. I never wanted to go to school. In fact, I tried to get out of school most days. Everyone always told me to “pop” the pimples. Thank Goodness I did not listen. I see adults who have severe acne scarring from “popping” pimples during their puberty years.

I hope this helps you in some way. May the force be with you!

If you have children going through puberty, I feel your pain!

Surviving Loss

Have you recently lost someone? Grief can be caused by:

•death of a loved one
•loved ones with dementia
•separation from family or friends
•change of lifestyle (grieving how things used to be)

If you have just began the journey, you are not crazy! First, yes people talk but you do not understand them. You do not hear well. Your senses are dulled. You are in shock.
The earth feels scary and shaky. Find a place you feel safe. Go to that place whenever needed.
Eat. I know you don’t want to, eat crackers if nothing else.
Read a book about grief or loss.
Sleep. Anytime of the day. Your body needs rest.
Take a short walk. Please?
Animals – if you have one. Talk and cuddle with them.
Cry. You must.
Yell. You must. Go outside.
Take a bat and hit the trash can!
People will not understand. That’s ok. Society does not allow time for grief.
Make the time.
Do not allow others to tell you when to stop grieving.
Suggest Zumba very therapeutic and Zumba people are loving people. They love new members! Most of them have suffered greatly too.
I know you do not hear people. It’s ok. You are not crazy. Be kind to yourself.
Children – show them love. They need it now more than ever. They sense your pain.

You can and will survive. You must make it. You have to for those you love that are still here. They love you and need your love just as much as you loved those who are no longer in your life or have moved on to a better place.

Everyone will experience grief. It is a part of life. Grief is a formidable opponent. However, grief can be overcome if you are kind to yourself.

Diarrhea Monday

Seinfeld

Do you ever have those days where nothing goes the way you plan? I woke up this morning for a job interview. Woke up with the worst case of DIARRHEA. Needless to say, I was on the pot for way too long, which made me run a little behind. However, made it to the interview on time and I think I looked hot. The temp service told me to dress “business casual.” I wore slacks with a very nice sweater and high heals.

Upon arrival at the interview, I realized the employees of this software company were wearing jeans with holes, flip-flops and t-shirts. I was completely overdressed. This was an interview for a Internet research position at the company. Can you say “mortified?” During the interview, the two people interviewing me were complete brats. I could tell that they were the type that believed everything should be handed to them on a platter and not earned. Those are the type of people who are so dumb, but always coast through life without any problems.

I asked the interviewers more questions than they asked me. It were as if I was interviewing them. Believe it or not, I actually knew more about the software than these two brats. So, I handed them my letters of recommendation and they handed them back to me. How professional? They were around 22 or something. I am only 32 and they treated me as if I were a person that should be taken to a nursing home. The brats never offered me a drink or to use the restroom – nothing. Maybe I am old school, but when I would interview people, they were always offered a beverage!

The brats showed me out the door. thankful the interview was over, drove out, and WOW realized I WAS OUT OF GAS! Rushed to the nearest gas station, started to pump gas and the PUMP WOULD NOT WORK! So, as I was trying to get the pump to work I almost peed my pants because the brats never asked me if I needed to use the restroom.

Canceled the purchase at that gas station and drove to the station down the street, because they had a bathroom. Pumped gas, and rushed inside before I peed my pants. Upon making my purchase the sweet lady at the register noticed I was mad. She said “girl, what you upset about?” I said, “noone will hire me, they all say I am over-qualified.” She said, “girl, I have an MBA and I am workin’ at this gas station, aint that crazy?” Couldn’t believe it.

I hope your Monday was better than mine! Happy Tuesday! :)
