People with mental health - my thoughts


People with mental health issue don’t always show that they have any problems.
We suffer in silence and take a lot of the burden on ourselves, for fear of being judged or even rejected. That just isn’t right or fair. We are all entitled to talk freely.

We shouldnt feel that speaking openly about what we are going through / feeling is something to be ashamed of. We fight day by day sometimes hour by hour just to survive and that’s one of the hardest things.  Even to explain to someone who doesn’t suffer.
We may be put under a label or laughed at when we try and explain why we didn’t even get out of bed or even the house in the morning. Because it took all of our energy just to wake up let alone get up.
What sort of a world do we live in when people get to such a point where they think Suicide is the only way out? That they are so alone with there thoughts that they don’t / can’t tell anyone how they really feel. How many lives would be saved if people felt like they could open up.

Now I’m the first to say that i don’t truly open up about how my mental health is and how I’m truly doing day by day. With the fear of being judged or scaring people away if I was honest I do keep a lot to myself. Don’t get me wrong I still have periods when I’m in a trigger before I realise it (hours / days / weeks into it) But telling someone when I’m at my lowest how I feel would be enough to get anyone worried.

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 ? ...
