I’m still really congested, and I feel like I’m gonna have to start taking extra mucus medication just to avoid choking on phlegm constantly. It’s horrible. The doctor at a walk in clinic said it’s not life threatening or anything, but it’s still deeply frustrating.

I feel stuffed up still, and I don’t know if I’ll remember to make posts to queue up for release tomorrow. But I’m thinking about doing it, anyways. And the phlegm completely sucks. Also, I was pacing around. And I’m hot now. So I’m not going to be able to make any more posts for the night, I don’t think.

Well, I’m back from the walk in clinic. We went grocery shopping too. That was nice. Anyways, we now know that the phlegm I constantly have stuck in my throat is of no real threat to me. It’s possibly a sign of allergens or some upper sinus problems, but it’s not anything life threatening. I was super nervous to go to the walk in clinic, but I don’t regret the information I got.

I’m still super annoyed by all this phlegm I’ve got clogging up my throat, but I’m gonna take the doctors advice. I’m gonna wait till summer and see if my congestion is better. Then we’ll know more, I guess. We’ll know if it’s always a massive problem for me, or if my regular congestion is simply exacerbated incredibly in the winter months. So I’ll try to wait. I’ll try to damage my throat trying to force out phlegm. But I don’t regret going to the walk in clinic today, and I’m glad for the answers.

I don’t know why my ear feels like it’s popping so much sometimes. But I feel like it’s the successor to my regular congestion. It’s awful how I basically always have the symptoms of a head cold nowadays..

I feel tired from my day today, so I’m gonna probably stop posting now. I don’t know if I’m gonna shave my head tomorrow, but I have considered it. I don’t know if I’ll try to find new glasses, because it’s apparently going to be rainy tomorrow. I’m really just trying to enjoy my birthday without overthinking, but that’s easier said than done. sigh…

First cold of the year. Day 3 or 4 and it has now moved up to my sinuses . It started in my throat . Now in my throat and sinuses. Getting more sneezy . Might induce at some point might not

I’ve been so focused on trying to force phlegm out of my throat that I’ve probably really messed myself up. My right ear is popping now. And my throat feels sore. But to make things worse: I still have the freaking phlegm! I still have it there taunting me! Am I crazy!? Why won’t it leave me alone!?

Sorry. But it’s just frustrating. It’s really frustrating to deal with this, and I freaking hate it. I hate it so, so much. My freaking phlegm is so frustrating. And yet every post about it gets no attention. sigh…

Good morning 🌞 ❤️🫂

Apparently a massive cold snap is sweeping North America (or at least the US and Canada). I swear I heard the news say it could like a siberian winter. I still don’t mind too much, because winter is one of my favourite seasons. I still have complaints about it (especially since I get so much congestion and stuff), but that’s because I have complaints about every single season in the year.

I don’t have much else to say right now. I feel kind of tired. I have some posts I want to write, but I’m too exhausted to write anything right now. sigh…

My phlegm has been bad for years. For so, so many years now. I think that I may never be free of all of this phlegm. That’s certainly my fear, at least. And that’s so frustrating. Since 2020, I’m pretty sure that I’ve been dealing with this phlegm, and I feel frustrated by it constantly. It’s infuriating. I’m tired still, and I can’t keep writing. But it sucks, this congestion.

idk if this is good but whenever i’m fed up with being congested i’ll stick a Q-tip in my nasal cavity as far back as i can through each nostril without it hurting & then after sneezing like 27 times in response my nose clears up a bit for a few minutes 👍

you’re telling me nose and mouth are the only options for breathing? smh

why am i so allergy right now

I pretty sick but I’m feeling better

GUESS WHOS BEEN CONGESTED FOR FOUR DAYS????? THATS right it’s MEEEEEEEE

.

Hate when you’re congested

And suddenly the atmospheric pressure changes

And it all drains and you’re drowning out of nowhere

I either have a cold or allergies have hit me like a truck in the last week… I am allergic to every plant native to western Washington plus dust/mites and dander. But the congestion/pressure and sneezes are bad and getting worse.

I still mask everyday in my own home though and am not spending much time outside yet as it’s still on the chilly side for me so I’m confused about it. Wondering if it’s worth it to use my last COVID test(s) to rule that out… I’m poor and my nearest mask bloc is an hour away, to my knowledge.

Also, the air in our house is incredibly dry and that’s most definitely not helping. We don’t really have a good spot to set up a humidifier though and my parents would probably be annoyed with me if I tried. Someday I’ll have my own space… Hopefully in the next 6ish months. (But mom ignored my advice about selling her business and now it’s backfiring on her and that was a prerequisite for moving…)

its not bad enough that i feel like my head is going to explode but wow what an interesting sensation this is. can it stop please

Sick rn

I’m considering eating a spoonful of horseradish to clear my sinuses

my nose hurts so bad
