So here I am again, playing the waiting game. Waiting for help with my mental health. A few months ago now I contracted my local mental health service, who were absolutely USELESS! Such a contrast to last time. I know that they are completely run off their feet at the moment, but they haven’t treat…

Coronavirus Diary – Page 14 (Social chaos)
This week I was supposed to be on holiday in sunny Spain. Because of Covid -19 this hasn’t happened and it is not likely to happen any time soon. Even though we were not going away, me and my family decided to try and have a few days out together. Yesterday we decided to go…
Coronavirus Diary – Page 14 (A mug of frothy familiarity)
After what feels like a million years in lockdown, from the 4th July pubs and bars were allowed to open again in England. I had heard on the news about all of the social distancing measures that were being put in place so that this was able to happen. I was imagining hand sanitizers everywhere,…
Coronavirus Diary – Page 3 (Life on pause)
Feeling a bit down today. I want normal life back. Silly thing to say really, we all do, especially the people who have been affected by this awful disease. We all wish life would just go back to normal. Like we can just wake up and it will all be a bad dream. I’m feeling…
What to do now?…
When my sight deteriorated at the age of twenty three I really didn’t know what to do with myself anymore. I was a Nursery Nurse and I had been since leaving school. That was all I had ever known work wise. I had been wanting a change for a while, so in a way this…
Birthdays and Besties
Recently I wrote a post about my birthday and how it didn’t exactly go to plan. It was nobody’s fault at all, it was just one of those days where things kept happening. Luckily though I had another birthday do to fall back on. I went out for a meal with my friends. We went…
OFCD Syndrome
All my life I have had to deal with hospitals, appointments and tests, it’s just the way life is. In some ways I feel it has made me stronger. I don’t freak out over the tiniest needle or worry myself sick over routine check ups. There has never been a stage in my life where…
My PTSD Journey – Part 3 (The end of CBT)
Well here we are… the end of a very long and challenging year of my life but also a big chunk of my life. Over the last year I have been living with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and having cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to treat it. Before starting my therapy I heard a lot…
Love your liver – Alcohol doesn’t
“Don’t drink” they say, “You’ll damage your liver” they say. What does that even mean??? You may be sitting there supping your drink in a beer goggled bliss. But it won’t last forever. You really don’t know what damage you are doing to yourself. Yes this is a drinking lecture, but it’s not just any…
This is me
Hello blog world! You may have seen me around before but this is my first ever very own blog! I have blogged for other people in the past and I still will. But sometimes everything has to fit into a box, or follow a certain theme. Sometimes I don’t want to fit into a box,…
