One of my dearest friends married her college sweetheart and then confided in me that sex was extremely painful. I wish I could have been a better friend to her. Perhaps I assumed that because her father was a physician, she was okay and eventually it would all work out. Unfortunately her marriage fell apart. If only I could go back and share the following story with my sweet friends. Vaginismus is the medical term and it is treatable. Like any other ailment, we must advocate for ourselves: Listen to our bodies and keep complaining until you meet the right medical professional.

Doctors always say
Just listen to your body.
Mine screams constantly.

Listen to your body. If you are getting triggered by that person, triggers bring on anxiety which can cause stomach issues, hands shaking , heart racing. Don’t ignore them. Those people remind your nervous system of a trauma you still haven’t healed from.

Giving In.
My body whispered
Exactly what it's looking for
Specifically what it needs
And I heard
Bits and pieces
Every now and again
Finally I gave in
Wanted more than I was doing
And getting more than I was giving
So I did
And I thought to myself
The whisper was not merely a whisper
As I make these necessary changes
Started listening to my body
I realized the whisper was actually a roar
Interesting to realize
Even if you think you're aware
How much we actually miss out on

I hope you’re recovering well, Mun.
Kinda, still…the tiredness and weakness is driving me crazy, and before COVID I could do an hour of skating no problem. Now, I can only do a half hour! I have 10 days left to this show I’m doing, and I hope I have the strength to skate both days! I know I do, but sometimes I fear what I’m doing might not be enough. 😞🏳️🌈 @iloveyoutoinfinity @cunningwarrior @ebbyscrooge @princessariel2k23 @sweeneytodddemonbarber @joshuawilliams74 @victorwilliams69 @seakingtriton2k23
Clear your mind. I know this has been hard, but you must continue to be strong. I know you can do this. There are many who are in your corner Mun. Don’t forget to listen to your body and take good care of yourself.

I thought of something when writing an essay (someone else has probably thought of this but I wanted to share this!)
When the mind can't articulate, the body will communicate.

Listen to your body
Recently, I have agreed on what is causing me inner discomfort. I didn’t give myself time to think it through and ask what it was that I really wanted. And, after I had agreed, my body gave me a hint that my decision wasn’t the best: it became hard for me to breathe, and anxiety and fear reverberated in my chest. I sat there with discomfort and generally felt bad.
When I listened to those signals and cancelled the plans, I was flooded with immense relief and safety. It was as if relief filled every cell in my body, willing my anxiety away. I breathed deeply and bathed in that relief. I felt good.
Through the years, I got better at recognising my body’s signals, but it’s still a work in progress. It’s hard because most of my life I ignored not just my body but my emotions as well. Was on autopilot. Nobody told me that living through negative emotions is okay. Don’t be angry / endure it / it needs to be this way / through “I can’t” / through “I don’t want to.” Really, why pay attention to your own discomfort when we were born to endure things and work our asses out?
For me, the fact that emotions and feelings may kick into my body became a discovery—that there is such a thing as psychosomatics. That negative thoughts, people in your environment, and surroundings may affect a body more than an actual illness. At least for me.
There won’t be any big conclusions. I will just remind you that you don’t have a spare one of yourself, a spare body. Listen to yourself and your sensations more often, and take care of yourself. 🖤
