Doisy & Dam



Having only recently been told to go gluten free I am new to all the products that are available. And I have to say I'm glad to of found Doisy & Dam chocolate.

I have always had a sweet tooth, sometimes to much of a sweet tooth. So to find chocolate that I feel I can only have a little amount and feel satisfied is a gain for me.
I tried the maple, toasted rice & pink salt.

And I have to admit I was actually surprised at how good it was. I've tried other gluten free chocolate and not been so impressed but this tasted really good.

With some 'normal' chocolate they separated as soon as it got into your mouth this didn't. I was able to suck on it and it lasted a lot longer than I expected. It's dark chocolate so there was an after taste as well as the hint of maple but it wasn't unpleasant.

I love the fact that you can get small bars as well as big. It makes it more appealing I have to say. And easier to carry in my handbag instead of buying other sweet food when out.
The packaging is appealing as someone who is creative. Having the chocolate in packaging and then a box makes it really stand out from other brands.
Do I think it is worth the money. The answer is definitely YES

The only problem is now finding others to try.

Not in the best head space.

So turns out I’ve been battling a mental health episode for at least a three months if not longer and I haven’t been aware. Before anyone questions why I didn’t know what was happening it’s because I typically don’t see what’s happening until I’m at a point that someone goes “WE NEED YOU TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE” It builds up slowly and manifests to a point that I’m really in a negative head space. I’ve learnt this time and the hard way that everything that I thought was happening wasn’t. It was my anxiety and grief having a fight off and I was the looser. Not to forget the ruminations of things that might happen or I might do ( some of those thoughts are hard ) Insomnia Panic that I’m seeing things out corner of my eye that aren’t there Negative thoughts - not good enough etc  Real bouts of sadness Not really wanting to eat - snacking  Racing heart Believing things are wrong with me when they aren’t  Those are only a few of the things that I have been dealing wit...

If this week has taught me anything

If this week has taught me anything it’s that the grief monster can hit at any time and totally floor you. That three years feel like just yesterday. And that there is people around to give a hug when needed. So last night in the midst of volunteering it hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears started and it took me a long time to proper calm myself. I’d manage to tell the coach right at the start of the night that i was struggling and that it had been a hard week. That it felt like just yesterday that he’d died and not nearly three years. I’m lucky with the fact that the coach I work with also was my husbands coach so that in itself is a help. I’d managed one class and was more than half way through the second when a shot I threw was called rubbish and one look to the other lady that coaches with me and I was a mess. If I hadn’t of already been sitting on the floor I think I might of ended up there. Luckily for me she also knows my history and shouted on the main coach who got to me...

Nearly three years - reflection

I’ve found my self lately thinking about what has actually happened over the last years and thinking about and saying thank you to people that have helped me. I’ve heard stories of people that loose someone close to them and the friends that go with. In some respects that is true for me but in other cases the friends that were ours mutually are now mine and the friendships I have with them have grown. ( do I think they would be that way if my husband was still alive ? Answer it would be different. But they would still be part of our lives ) Other people I have met since this new life for me started and I’m grateful for everyone of them because they probably unknowingly have helped me through the hardest years of my life so far. Some of them I’ve only spoken on line to ( you know who you are ). Other friendships have been formed in person and the communication with them has helped even on the darkest of days. Each of them unwittingly helping navigate me through this journey of grief....
