The Hypothyroid Life

Which is so, so, so amazing, I can't even tell you.

Which also means I should be able to go back to blogging on a regular basis.

That being said, I got my recent TSH, T3 and T4 tests back and everything is back in range. Thank God!

So...I recently started dating again. It's been a good 10 months since I've felt the ability to connect to another person that way. Part of it was a break up that kind of (really) devastated me, and the other part was that I was feeling so sick, and my anxiety was running so high- I literally didn't have the energy.

But one day, I woke up and and decided that I was ready to give this a shot again and as luck would have it, less than 48 hours later I had a date...

Which went really well. We were out until 4am just talking, making out.   And I knew I was in trouble.

We've hung out twice since, and have already had the conversation that this is something that's going to be taken slow, so we can really decide if we like each other. I know that I tend to jump the gun when it comes to guys. My last boyfriend and I were in a relationship after three dates. So...the fact that I'm sitting here, unaware- it's kind of causing me to panic.

I don't think it's thyroid related this time- because I've been feeling pretty good. But it's so hard to tell the difference. I'm trying so hard to be not annoying, and not clingy- when frankly I just want to know more about him. We texted pretty hard core the first couple of days- but he just started a new job and it's been busy. Which I understand. I do. Been there, have the t-shirt. So communication has slowed down dramatically.

And that scares me. More than it should. 

I know that I'm being ridiculous- and I know that we have plans to meet up on Tuesday. But my head won't stop spinning and my stomach won't stop knotting.

I need to get my shit together or I'm gonna scare this kid away.

My sister and I got a new roommate and have been spending the last couple of days helping her move in. 

I've had a lot of serious cramps the past couple of days which has made the whole thing pretty interesting but I think they're starting to settle down. It has also been hot as hell here this past week- which has been causing me to overheat like crazy. No chance of going outside for festivals and stuff...
