Stan – My A Dog
Poor Stan. He really has been through it. If you’ve been (un)lucky enough to meet him you’ll know he’s a very ‘special’ dog. If he was a child I would have had him screened for ADHA or Autism a long time ago. I’ve been around dogs all my life and never have I ever met…

Currently…
10 months into my thirties – how I’m doing and where my mental health is at. I can’t believe how fast the first year into my thirties is going. We’re six months into the year and I’m two months away from my 31st birthday. Christmas doesn’t seem that long ago but I think that…

May 2023
I felt like writing a little life update to try and help me see where I am in my life right now, but also because I’m putting off my last uni assignment *procrastination* so by typing I still feel like I’m achieving something, even if the deadline is in two days. I spent…

New hobby
Describe one positive change you have made in your life. I’ve been attending a regular pole fitness class for over a year now (just over 6 months worth of weekly training) I’ve never stuck at anything for this long in my life. It’s so much fun and I actually want to get good at it.…

A lil break
Blog Update March 2023 I’ve tried writing some new posts relating to childhood trauma and my mental health experiences as that was the initial purpose for this blog but sometimes staying stuck in the past can rob you of your future and I’m not currently in a place where I want to revisit those…

Diary entry
Diary entry Jan 2023 Current mood – I feel like I don’t know who I am or what I’m doing, personally and professionally. I feel like if I’ve been stable the majority of the last year then I don’t actually like who I am without hypomania. If this is the true stable me then…

Psychosis
Psychosis I didn’t sleep for 5 days. I’m not sure if that was the cause of psychosis or a symptom of it. It was likely an episode of hypo mania that progressed into psychosis but I don’t remember much in the couple of months leading up to hospitalisation. I was living alone at that…

Maybe.
Maybe I’m fighting the inevitable. Maybe it’s the seasonal change and the darker nights. Maybe it’s because my dad accidentally rang me instead of his heroin dealer then tried feeding me some bullshit about it. Maybe it’s because despite being 30 years old and having built a nice life for myself I’m still affected by…

Turning 30.
I’ve spent the last ten years dreading turning 30. Society puts so much pressure on us to achieve certain things by a certain age and leaves you feeling like a failure if you don’t. The majority of people this age are getting married, buying houses and having children and I’m not doing none of those…

Leaving school into the big wide world.
I never had a set plan for what I wanted to do when I left school. If I watched Casualty I wanted to be a paramedic, if I watched Animal Hospital I wanted to be a vet, if I watched CSI…you get the idea. I was always envious of anyone who had a talent or…
