I’m back! After blogging every single day throughout June I needed a break. I’ve taken 18 days off but it feels so much longer and I’m really ready to get back into the swing of things again, I’m hoping to post a couple of times a week at least. A lot has happened in my […]
So that was it, 30 days of blogging every day throughout June all done! And what a month. I started off with the purpose of each post being meaningful, albeit with the awareness that some would have to be shorter. That didn’t really happen now did it! Although I’ve felt much more connected to my […]
Today’s word prompt was ‘knot.’ What. A. Day. My stomach has been knots. I’ve been on a new level of on edge today. I collected my giant bag of medication from the hospital, took it and it literally knocked me out. Dot was back at the vets and got the all clear which is incredible […]
I’m home! Doctors weren’t over the moon but I feel ready to be treated in the comfort of my own house instead of a sticky germ filled ward! Just sunk into bed with my creature comforts and it feels amazing. I’m a bit all over the place and a little overwhelmed by everything that’s happened […]
No word prompt today as I’ve just got some things on my mind that I can witter on about! I’ve been in hospital a lot in my life but this time has been different. I never get nervous because I always know as soon as I get the treatment I need that I’ll be okay, […]
Today’s word prompt is ‘finesse.’ Still in hospital so I’ll be brief once again. But I’m off intensive care and on a normal ward wooo! I’m due to be in Disney in 8 days so concentrating on getting there. Don’t think people are ready for the absolutely skill in which Danielle will be wheelchairing me […]

Today’s word prompt is ‘verdant.’ ***Before I get started this blog now has an Instagram! Search @MissMentalHealth for updates and extra content!*** Suggestive of lush green vegetation, today’s word resonates with me. I’ve been lucky enough to do a lot of travelling in my life and as I’ve talked about before in this post it […]
Today’s word prompt is ‘directional.’ I have absolutely no idea what direction anything in my life is heading in. Where I’ll live, what I’m doing with it, who’s in it. And uncertainty is difficult to accept for most people. As humans we like predictability. Way back when we were cavemen life was harsh and short […]
Today’s word prompt is ‘‘exchange.’ I recently keep finding myself wanting to completely switch things up in my life. In today’s age of social media it really is hard to not compare yourself and your current situation to everyone around you. The problem with that is, as we all know, people only tend to post […]
Today’s word prompt is ‘line.’ Will have to be another quick one today. Fitting blogging every day around life and a full time job is a challenge! Today’s word had me stumped, there were a few different directions I was thinking of going with it but they’re fairly deep and meaningful and I’m exhausted so […]
This blog is one year old today. I started with the intention of only really writing one post. I was coming off medication and going through withdrawal and couldn’t find the information I wanted about what was happening to me, so I wrote it myself from an experiential point of view. If you want to […]
My goal for the year was to write one post a month but I missed March already! A lot has changed in my life in the last few months, and as a creature of habit I don’t do too well with change. Inevitably, following a period of arguable chaos and instability, comes the opportunity to […]
If you’ve seen the news over the last week you’ll have seen that Raphael Samuel, a 27 year old man from India, is suing his parents for forcing him to be born. Samuel is claiming that he didn’t consent to being created or being entered into the world and the expectation placed upon him to […]
Over Christmas and New Year 2018 I found myself being bombarded with nostalgia. Although I do very much believe the turn of the new year is really just another day, it is inevitably an ending. Endings of any kind are always an opportunity for reflection on how you experienced the journey to the end. Throughout […]
