Hello my dear patrons.

I did not recovered well from Paris ... Exhaustion and burning pain are still very high especially after I walk or try to do anything else than just sitting down . I'm reading and reading stuff trying to find more solutions to get better without success and my moral isn't at his best at the moment even if I won't say I'm depressed because I'm not. Just so frustrated... and disapointed because I didn't expect a backlash at all.

Anyway , I told you a few days ago I still had my Harley Quinn's costume to finish .

I didn't even make the most of the costume but customizing it takes so much time I don't know when I'll be done with it.

Just putting the clothes on and take a selfie in the mirror costed me all my energy today ><.. I don't even know how I'll be able to do the tattoos, the makeup, put the wig, and wear everything...Looks like an impossible task.



So I have already customized the T shirt, resized pre-made shorts, made the glove and bought the accessories. I need to do some customizing on the boots which are not exactly accurate at the moment, assemble the 3D printed gun and paint it,  craft some ammo, finish sewing the holster, do some makeup tests and try the whole thing.

I would call this very lazy cosplay crafting but that's all I can give at the moment.




I hope my next post will be written with more energy , positive attitude and less pain.

Remember to enjoy every moments because you don't know what tomorrow will be made of.

The pain and exhaustion doesn't mean you're not healing. That's the first thing to remind yourself. You know why this is happening: you recovered so much that you were able to push yourself a bit too hard! It’s progress! You are getting better. This is not a setback. This is a part of the process. Let that thought stay with you. Use it to replace the fear. You're improving even if it doesn't fell like it just this moment. That said, if you’re looking for things that might help, here are the somewhat bizarre sounding things that have worked for me. These are all things that trigger the parasympathetic nervous system and, more to the point, the vagus nerve which will help you relax and heal while reducing inflammation. Hum – As silly as this sounds it absolutely works and is my somewhat embarrassing go-to. Humming creates vibrations in your mouth, lips, and jaw, all of which are filled with nerves linked directly to the parasympathetic nervous system activity. Calms me right down every time and is the easiest of the options. Touch your lips with a finger or knuckle – works similarly to the above – puts me to sleep whenever I can’t get my brain to turn off. Let yourself cry or find something that makes you laugh – both forms of catharsis have been tremendously helpful at times (though I can’t say why from a purely scientific standpoint). Deep breathing – In for five seconds, out for ten. Inhaling triggers the sympathetic nervous system, exhaling triggers the parasympathetic nervous system. Paying attention and regulating your breathing can help you consciously regulate your autonomic nervous system. Valsalva breathing – works same as above but has a bit more immediate results. Take a deep breath, close your mouth and pinch your nose shut. Attempt to exhale into the closed airways (not too hard and not enough to make yourself dizzy). This really works as it is sustained simulated exhaling (parasympathetic) without the inhale (sympathetic). You’ll know you’re doing it right if you feel pressure increasing in your nose and chest (and your ears might feel a bit plugged). Listen to soothing/calming music (nothing intense or that evokes an excessive emotional response) – I stick to classical music. A few of my go-to choices are: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Song of the Caged Bird by Lindsey Stirling, Night Song by Rhonda Mackert, and River Flows in You by Yiruma. Invite friends over – this is the method that involves the least thought/effort! If you can have someone over to provide some pleasant distraction it will do wonders for your mood. Meditation – I do this in conjunction with music and deep breathing. Since I can’t really still my mind (ever) I instead let the music guide my imagination. As an example, when Song of the Caged Bird by Lindsey Stirling or The Drift by Blackmill come on, I visualize similar scenes of a little army of cells in my body getting themselves armed and ready then going off to restore order in my brain (or whatever part of me hurts). Try whatever works for you. Now the things I’ve never tried but have been told to try… Splash cold water on your face from scalp to lips. Place ice cubes in a plastic bag and hold them against your face while briefly holding your breath Drink and hold lukewarm liquid in your mouth and focus on the feeling of the liquid on your tongue. The logic of these three has something to do with the “dive reflex” but I’ve never bothered to look into it any deeper as the other options work well enough for me. These are just things that work for me. They should work as well for autonomic dysregulation as they do for epileptic activity as the neurological mechanisms are similar. Hope one of these helps. If not then time will certainly help. Good luck and keep smiling as best you can.

If tomorrow has you in it, I shall be content. Take care.
