2 pass head shave. Hi again folks…
I’m not gonna lie, the last few days have been awful for me. I kinda fell back into depressive thought patterns due to private trouble atm and it was really hard. I also relapsed into smoking cigarettes; I am already trying to get back into vaping only and with my newest MTL device it should work.
Today I had the preparation day for my practical and oral exam tomorrow of my midterms to become an RN. This gave me some additional anxiety, but also new energy - I feel like I can be worth something again.
So today’s shave was in order. I actually live VoA - smelling like death is currently fitting for my mood, but the newly acquired Protouch MG are really smooth. Just did an additional pass with the cartridge to look pristine tomorrow for my exam. Honestly, it feels great to have a slick bald dome again after neglecting my self-care for so many days and falling into a pit of despair. Now it’s time to sleep so I can rock tomorrow 💪🏻
Sorry to hear you’re going through a rough patch!
Good luck with the exam tomorrow, you got this!

I also did that a few times in the past. Don’t beat yourself up about the relapses. They happen, it’s no big deal. If you keep at it, it’ll end up sticking. It’s been 15 years since my last relapse.
Thanks DJ. I have a lot to work on atm, but I hope to manage everything and find happiness again.
I actually did it! A 3 © for my practical exam and a 1 (A) for my oral exam for an end score of a 2 (B). Made some careless mistakes, but overall I did good. Now I know what to work on before the final exams next year and the same errors won’t occur again.
Also thanks for sharing your story with me. I’m a bit disgruntled that I broke my over one year streak of no cancer sticks, but today shall be the final day that I smoked cigarettes. From now on it will be vaping only for me and I am committed to that health effort as much as I am to my career. I won’t give up so easily again ☝🏻

I managed to get a B in total. C for my practical work, A for my oral exam. What a stressful day, but I’m so glad that I achieved this under my current circumstances!

Thanks! Honestly, it means a lot to hear some kind words after feeling worthless. 🍀
