• Literally losing my mind.

  I don’t know if it’s stress, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideas/daydreams – or all combined – or none of it and I’m just getting dementia earlier on in my life – but I’m losing my mind, guys. I’m losing it. I’ve caught the wrong bus and ended up in Aussie wilderness (we call it “whoop whoop”)…

• In a crisis

  Alun and I have had a pretty good marriage these last 8 years (12 altogether including dating and engagement) because we’ve been blessed enough to take turns having meltdowns. Praise God, the things that stress me out are “too easy” for Alun and the things that stress him out are things I think are “totes…

• JD, you’re okay

  Today’s blog is about being hurt by a really stupid thing. I work in a position in Local Government. The work building is HUGE and is made up of a labyrinth of long corridors. Like…SUPER LONG corridors, guys. One of them is the main hallway that leads from Reception (where I work on a team…

• #Bloganuary – What’s my dream job?

  What’s your dream job? My whole life, I’ve wanted to be a Kindergarten Teacher. I love children and even when I was a little girl, I’d set my bedroom up as a classroom and teach younger children everything I knew, bless my heart. As a teen, I was always involved with kids clubs and after-school…

• Bloganuary – What chore do you find the most challenging to do?

  #bloganuary #bloganuary11 #bloganuary2023 #Housechores #moppingsucks #sweeping #damnit Chores, you say? Well. This ALL depends on how my mental health is tracking, really. Some days, I can do it ALL and the entire house is sparkling. Floors are swept and mopped, bathrooms are spotless, beds are made, laundry is done and the kitchen looks so clean…

• New Year’s Eve

  Raaaaaa. Where to even begin? So much has happened in the last 4-6 weeks, I don’t even know how to tell you all about it without going on a huge RANT and boring you to death, lol. Let’s just say it’s been an emotional rollercoaster that I have wanted to jump off many times, but…

• HOW IS THIS OK?!?

  Yesterday was a really, really hard day. I was climbing the walls in an extremely high state of distress and no matter how many times I waited to be seen at the Nurses station, asked for help, got told “yes, in a minute – go back to your room and put some mindfulness and distress…

• Plan B

  Today I’m fortifying my castle walls and to protect myself as I rebuild, I’m not going to interact with anyone if I can help it. I’m going to stay in my room all day so that no one can talk to me. Yesterday really traumatised me and I’m not sure how to recover from it…

• “I can take it”

  

  I want to help whenever I see someone hurting. I can’t seem to help but want to go over to them, put an arm around them or automatically lift up the other end of whatever huge burden they’re pulling along behind them so that between us, the burden won’t be as heavy on that person.…

• 4 Policemen, 2 Ambulance officers, flashing lights…and a tearful husband.

  I’m struggling, guys. I’m really struggling. I don’t feel anything apart from grief, loss, rage, confusion and a profound hurt that has sunk into the marrow of my bones and physically makes my body ache. Alun won’t believe me and if I talked to a friend about how I’m feeling, I’m so scared I’ll burden…
