The Things Life Throws at You

Heating pack was my best friend
It sometimes seems like when one thing happens, so many follow. These past couple weeks have been very much like that. Dealing with a break up is hard enough then add on a coworker passing away and then pulling a muscle in your neck and just plain old having a complete meltdown. I have the bad habit of not expressing my emotions and being strong for everyone else and not wanting others to see that I'm struggling that once every 6 months or so I have a complete breakdown. Ugly crying included. I'm grateful that even though we had just broken up the guy stayed and let me express everything.
Along with pulling a muscle in my neck I went to the doctor and now I have to go to physio and get massages. I have never done either. The idea of getting a massage kind of freaks me out as I don't like people touching me. I am hoping that both help and I will not be in excruciating pain with almost every movement. With only 2 weeks left of classes then exams and then leaving for Europe, I need to get better quickly.
I have now been cleared by my physiotherapist to start working out again. I have healed enough that I can do yoga with modifications and being mindful of my neck and not pushing things. Just in time for exams and get some hiking done before I leave for Europe. 
I didn't go get a massage yet and might not as they still freak me out. Having my physiotherapist touch me was enough. 

Have a wonderful week and good luck to all you students writing exams!!
