At the start of July, I began having moments of anxiety which I managed to keep a handle on, but since the announcement on the lifting of lockdown measures, I've started feeling more anxious. While others felt alone in isolation, I was pleased to stay at home in my safe bubble. Back to work? … Continue reading Same sh!t, different day
A recommendation on an Instagram post had me on Netflix watching the first season of "Spinning Out" last week."A figure skating Olympic hopeful struggles to balance family, love and fragile mental health as her dream of winning takes a dizzying hold."Nine episodes where the lead character Kat, battles with her Bipolar Disorder alongside her mums … Continue reading Spinning Out
As I pondered the question raised in a blog post on Pointless Overthinking by Betul Erbasi. I was reminded of this poem I read in a local Christian magazine many moons ago. I wish I remembered who to give credit, but this poem has stayed with me. Sometimes choosing to share as a note in … Continue reading The Sentimental Heart
This week I took some time to practice a little self-care. I have to admit it hasn't been a priority since the lockdown and I guess I fell into auto-pilot and then self-condemnation at the time I had wasted. There was no mental relaxation. I tried meditating, and for those moments or days, I felt … Continue reading Self Care – Journal
I've been feeling exhausted. Not physically but mentally. Tired of my thoughts, tired of overthinking, tired of any and everything I think I have to do, should do, want to do but don't. I know I should be practising self-care, but when I take a moment to think about what to do, all I come … Continue reading Random ramblings

I then got distracted by a particular Celebrities posts. He seemed to be posting manically which I identified immediately because that was me declaring in … Continue reading Glitch in the Matrix
Last month I set a few small goals and was pretty pleased with myself as I crushed them. I finally organised my wardrobe (two days), cleaned the house and went through papers and documents and I started writing on my blog again. I decided to reward myself but couldn't think of anything so I purchased … Continue reading You can’t hit a target you can’t see!
I'm back. It's been a while. I guess it would be fitting for me to begin with an update. The first thing I'll start with is I finally secured that desperately needed job which I started and was doing pretty well until the lockdown happened, then I had to take on the new role of … Continue reading I can, I will.
About last week Last week started ok until I woke up one morning to a barrage of audio messages from my ex which I initially ignored until he sent me a text suggesting I'm ignoring him when I'd decided I didn't feel like going through emotions and feelings from the past first thing. His or … Continue reading Back to the Future
I wrote my first post in November which was a pretty big step toward talking about my Mental Health Journey and though I would have written another one by now. I guess it just wasn't the right time but I had to check and I had written to posts which are probably incomplete because I've … Continue reading Sometimes we need to go backwards.
