Anxiety

It may come as a surprise to hear that I actually cope really well in stressful situations. Put me under pressure and I will generally exceed expectations. I put this particular trait down to how I cope with my anxiety. I’m often in a heightened state of anxiety and still have to function, which has […]

Weekly Update (9th September – 13th September)

This has been the loooooongest week! Has anyone else felt like that? My boyfriend had Tuesday off of work and my cousins have been round different days this week so I think it really threw me. I’m finishing the week with another sinus infection and feeling rather rubbish, however the week as a whole has […]

Autumn Date Ideas (AD)

Autumn’s weather can be unpredictable and sometimes a little disappointing, however that does not have to stop you from enjoying a date (or two!). Those cold, dark nights are the perfect romantic backdrop for a relationship to blossom. The cold weather brings about thoughts of cozying up on the sofa with blankets, hot tipples and […]

Mental Health Update (I Saw A Mental Health Nurse)

On Tuesday 27th August I had an appointment with the mental health nurse at my surgery. It had taken about 6 weeks for that appointment to come through. The appointment wasn’t until 2:30pm and so I had all morning to worry about it. I felt that there was a lot of pressure on this appointment […]

Weekly Update (2nd September – 6th September)

I have pledged to make September a month of self care (you can read the post here). I thought I would keep you updated during my weekly updates as to how each day of self-care is going. Sunday was the start of my month of self care and my goal was to go for a […]

August 2019 Monthly Favourites

I cannot believe August is over already! It feels like only last week I was writing and posting my July favourites. To be the end of August signifies the beginning of Autumn. If I’m honest I’m not ready for summer to end, it doesn’t even feel like we’ve had a summer! This is another month […]

Mental Health and Confidence

My anxiety has taken a lot from me over the last couple of years, including my confidence. I’m often afraid to do anything on my own as I’m scared of how I will cope if I have a panic attack. I know avoidance is not the best approach to this and I am slowly trying […]

Weekly update (26th August – 30th August) Bank Holidays and Upcycling

It’s been a really fun week this week. I also saw a mental health nurse and so I feel like my recovery is really on track at this point in time. It’s been a really positive week and I’m going to try and hold onto this feeling even if next week is a little bit […]

A month of self care

It’s safe to say that here in England we’ve had a rather rubbish summer and I think it’s been the same for most of the world. Summer is my favourite season for a number of reasons. I enjoy the sun and sitting outside for ten minutes reading a book is a real treat, in addition […]

What I want to achieve at 25

At the end of June I turned 25, which seems scarily old to me. In the grand scheme of things I know it’s not old, I just feel like I’ve gone a quarter of a century and my life hasn’t really started yet. I’m yet to find my purpose. I’ve mentioned on posts before that […]
