Refreshed.

I genuinely feel it in my soul. I disappeared into travelling with my partner from May 2023 to January 2024. We had an amazing time, and it still feels so surreal to have been out and to have seen the world. It still doesn’t feel real to me at all…despite the picture evidence. Yet, at the same time, it also feels so long ago that I went. I’ve only been back for 5 weeks and the adventure feels…

Hiatus

I know I haven’t been as frequent as what I used to be. I’m pretty sure I wrote more in 2021 than I did in 2022, and even less in 2023. So, here’s the deal. I’ve been busy planning, researching, and booking my dream life goal which is travelling. It is something I’ve wanted to do since I was 21, and finally at 31 I have earned enough in my savings to take a full year off work to travel the…

Good Enough

Will I ever be good enough, is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately. I’ve had a series of events that has caused me to spiral into a negative mood and struggle with my sense of worth. I have always struggled with my purpose, with who I am, with whether or not I am a good person, with whether I am deserving of anything I have in my life. This feeling has always been there…I have…

Frustration

As per the title, I need to vent about something that has been annoying me for 3 weeks now. My partner has told me I shouldn’t let it bother me so much but it does. I feel cheated, and like a fool, so I’m bound to feel annoyed. I know sometimes with my mental health, things can be blown out of proportion, or I end up focusing on little things, or I get annoyed with things that shouldn’t even…

A week later...

…I’m loving life. Honesty, I’m doing well. I was very stressed, anxious and depressed in my last post but it has been a week, and I am good. Since my last post, I have put in a sick note/sick leave for a month and I am enjoying the feeling of not having to get up for work at the moment. However, don’t think I’m sat around doing nothing. I spent my initial week off sick (self-certified) doing not…

Enough...

I’m done. I am sooo done. I’m writing this 3 days after I’ve phoned in sick for 7 days. I’ve self-certified off work sick for 7 days. I’m done. I have never in my life been more angry, frustrated and disappointed in a workplace in my whole life. I have had crappy jobs, and jobs I wish I’d never applied for, but despite those, I’ve never had a job where I’ve phoned in a 7-day self certification…

Well, Hello 2023

New Year, New Me. New Year, Fresh Start. New Years Resolutions. This year I will…I’m going to give up…I’m going to start…Make this year, your year. ETC. Been there, done that, and it repeats every year. We have heard them all before and they never seem to last very long…you know you don’t keep those resolutions! So, this year, lets do something different. Let’s stop pressuring ourselves to do…

Ten for Thursday #33

Ten for Thursday #33

I haven’t done one of these for 11 months. Last one was January, wow. I’ve just not had any ideas for a long time, since I went back to my old job actually so I guess I’m overworked/stressed in it. Anyhow, I’ve been struggling with my mental health again. This week, I’ve actually had time off work as annual leave and so I’ve actually had time to reconnect with myself and do some…

Hate.

Such a strong word. Definitive. Conclusive. I need to write about this word today because I am both deeply hurt and shocked. Furthermore it has stirred up some deep insecurities and self-esteem issues I have been working hard to squash. Everything I’ve worked hard to overcome ruined with a single word. Late last night/early this morning, I was informed I am hated by my colleagues at work. Not…

Regrets

My first attempt at poetry. Please be kind.

I wish I had never let go.Of my childhood joy and wonder,the thrill of theatre and plays,voicing my happiness in choir,running my bow across the strings.Bullies can be cruel,ruining the experience of school. I wish I had never let go.Of saying what I wanted,choosing for myself,ignoring my mothers ideas,my beliefs in life.I felt like I had no other choice,my future falling due to lack of…

I’m renovating…

…my blog. This started as me wanting to get my thoughts out of paper (figuratively speaking). But I have always wanted and would love to get writing properly. I really want to spread my wings and develop writing creatively. This will be hard because it is so easy for me to just write my mind which is why I started a blog in the first place. I will still be keeping the blog for my own mental…

I've forgotten...

I’ve forgotten…

…who I am.…my reasons for writing this blog. …what I’m doing. …the crushing reality of how lonely I am. It has been a while since I wrote on my blog, and I’m grateful for the time away despite saying I was back in April. Coming back and seeing the poll and the social media feeds, and that’s not why I am on here. I’m not writing for others. I’m writing for me. It’s my diary to me. I lost who I…

I'm Back...and with life goals.

I’m Back…and with life goals.

I’m back at blogging but not as I was.  I’ve had 2 months off from blogging and writing.  Too be honest, I have had 2 months off from a lot of things. I’ve been working through my own things both mentally and emotionally. Following my mini-update I have been working with my therapist and feel like I am in a better place, I think that maybe I took my Uncle’s death much harder than I anticipated.…

Why?

I don’t really know where to begin with this one. I’m sat here feeling empty. I found out Sunday 30/01/2022 at 3pm that my Uncle had died unexpectedly from cancer. I’ve spent the evening crying, some while binge-watching a TV show I wasn’t paying attention to, some in the bath trying to warm from feeling cold, some while sat trying to write at my laptop but the words not finding me. Like now.…

Mini Update

I have been mega busy this past week so have been unable to write my usual – lengthy – Monday post. I know! You are so happy it isn’t super long this time – right? Good news in 3 areas this week. I am starting therapy next week, which should help with my negative thoughts, which turn into negative emotion, which turn into my depression and no motivation.  Hooray!  I will be working on a CBT…
