Blog
Welcome to the home of the blogs where you can find all of my musings and ramblings.
This is where I talk about anything and everything that has even the slightest thing to do with mental health and wellbeing, as well as pouring out my soul for all to see, which is frankly, quite terrifying. BUT if I want to spread the word and raise awareness of mental health issues then it only makes sense that I ‘walk the walk’ as they say.

The 12 Stockings of Christmas
One universal thing about Christmas is usually, the humble stocking. Almost everyone has one and for me, it’s the best part, full of the little things that bring you joy, make you smile and show you how much the person who filled it, cares for you.

Feeling tired has pretty much been a constant for the past twelve years. I think I’ve uttered the phrase “I’m so tired” so many times it’s losing all meaning. The fatigue does have it’s uses however by giving me blog ideas in the middle of the night. Silver lining and all.
