The first third of 2016 has probably been the worst of my life. It has prompted me to write this blog, as a diary of sorts but without the privacy. If this year has taught me anything so far it's to be more open, even about things that are stigmatised. Especially things that are stigmatised. People need to feel like they're not alone. While (most) people don't want bad things to happen to others it is okay to take comfort in the fact that you're not the only one.
I've tried many times to write and stick to writing a good old fashioned hand written diary. My teenage years were spent writing in a diary, but like most things back then I didn't see them through. I started with good intentions and lots of gusto only for it to fizzle out. I feel like I'm improving on that as I reach the big 3-0. In fact I think I've gone to the other side of the spectrum. I've become impatient (I like to pretend determined)and almost never leave things half finished. This may be down to my crippling anxiety issues but at least I'm more efficient! I've also learned that I'm quite adept at building things and DIY so that is a bonus. I'm sure my dad won't notice I still have his power drill!
My future posts will contain things that people may not want to read, such as mental health, miscarriage...well mainly those two things as they are current issues in my life. Above is a picture of my two cats sat on me, which is rare them being both together and settling. Individually this is a daily occurrence, but I truly believe they sense a change in me as they haven't left my side. Oh yes I forgot to mention my blog will contain cats.
