72 hrs - mental health


To say that the last 72 hrs have been majorly triggering is an understatement.

I went north to Aberdeen for my sister in-laws wedding. It was a weekend of firsts and a weekend that showed me how things really are.

The following are examples of tweets that I put out over the two hardest days

“ I’ve not even left the surroundings of my own village and my anxieties are already kicking off”

 “ ocd thoughts of no one will ever want to be with you because of your mental health and you know it’s gonna be a long train ride “

 “ the tightness in the chest, the fear, the anxiety of knowing what’s coming. I’m 30min out to it all starting and turns out that’s enough time for everything to properly start in full.”

 “I look at the scars on my arm and ankle and hope that I dont follow through with adding to them”

 “ it’s not on my terms. I’m not in control”

 “ I wanna be sick. Have to speak but want to cry. Just want to be held”

 “Wired, and not in a good way. There has been tears. #anxious is understatement. I’m now lost in thoughts”

 “1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 putting a fake smile on when your dying inside. I expect you to come through the door. Anxiety is gonna spike and my fidget levels are building “

 “ the mental crash that is happening is hard. Am I coping? I’ve learnt to put a good face on. Do I need a hug? Most definitely “

How did I cope ? I honestly don’t know. I feel mentally drained. I didn’t get any official photographs. Lost out on part of the service and went to bed early.
Is it fair ? No. Is it life ? Yes

My mental health shows it’s self in many forms and I’m sure I saw near enough all over the last few days. ( watch me get proven wrong this week, when new signs / thoughts / triggers kick me off ) but it’s part of what makes me me. I’ve cried until i thought I couldn’t anymore. Been angry. And felt all the emotions under the sun. But it’s life and it goes on,

Sales/wish list

Like many I will be doing the sales this year. But it won’t be till the end of the week (let’s hope there is stuff left) A girl can dream right, the presents that weren’t received or the things you have your eye on hoping they come down in price. For me going into 2018 there is a few things that I would like to see if they are in the sales or at least within budget due to getting money to spend. I’m going to start a fresh with 10,000 steps a day so a new set of headphones would definitely be needed as the ones I have I spend more time trying to keep them in my ears than listening to anything. I think I would also love a new jumper as I’m known for wearing the same ones until they hole. I so really need to find new things to listen to as well. With a specific present i got I’m wanting to buy a ring that can wear everyday. The money was from my grandparents and we lost my gran the middle of the month. So something to wear that reminds me of her I think might be nice. I used to alw...

Physical books vs kindle

where do you stand on this question? Physical books vs kindle ? For me I’m a physical book person but can see the benefits of kindle. I love walking into a book shop and seeing all the different types of book that are available. The colours, sizes, designs and even smell makes it more appealing. Feeling the crisp pages of a new book and knowing that you will be the first person to read that, to me that is what it is all about. With a book that you can hold you aren’t worrying about the battery running out. You know that you can just pick it up and start reading. There is also something very satisfying about finishing a book and seeing it closed in front of you. Don’t get me wrong I know that having a kindle has its advantages. You don’t have to carry a extra book around in your bag for one. And that if you do finish one book you don’t have to wait to get to the shops to get another. But does having a kindle really make it feel like you are reading a book? I guess the question wi...

Alone in a crowded room

   Being alone in a crowded room is something that I have been struggling with for some time. I could be sitting with a table of people and feel like it’s just them that’s at the table and that I’m not part of the table.    Would anyone notice if I got up and left ?    You try and start a conversation and the answer is giving to someone else and you aren’t even looked at when a reply is given. And with that you feel like shouting HELLO I’m here. It was me that asked the question. Are you even aware of what your doing ? Do you not see how it may look ? OR is it just my head trying to make me feel like crap. Because if it is it’s doing a really good job.     The noice gets louder and it’s sounds just like one person and not about 30. The want of putting your fingers in your ears and trying to make the sound that little bit quieter.   Sitting alone in a pub and you feel like your being judged but also very much alone. Do you interact ? ...
