• 30 questions with JD :)

  Totes copying from an awesome blog by one of my favourite bloggers “Frog Machinery” where he interviews himself and gave us all insight into who he is as a person. In true Janet fashion, I like his idea and want to do the same. I’ll put the kettle on, you get comfortable. Let’s go! When […]

• Friends make the world a much better place

  I’m off mood stablisers and this is my 3rd week of withdrawing from them. It has been HELL. I’m not even kidding. So now that no medication is ‘stabilising’ me, I’m crying at the drop of a hat. Everything makes me cry. Toast that dropped on the floor – butter side up – I stared […]

• Jealousy between friends

  Because of how I’ve grown up – being ignored for the most part, I’ve learnt to compare myself instantly to everyone around me. I find myself lacking pretty much every single time. “That girl is prettier than I am” (I think that of nearly every girl I see) “That guy is so much more talented […]

• Happy Memory #2

  Alun and I were moving house. I was SO EXCITED about it as the first home we moved into was something Alun chose while I was working long hours and when I saw it, my heart dropped. It was an old (VERY OLD) yellow cottage on a quiet street near a Primary school and really, […]

• A happy memory

  When I told Jon I wanted a divorce, he left our house that night and moved back in with his family. Jon was surrounded by an entire, loving family while I paced up and down in the living room on my own for months afterwards. The first few days after Jon had left, the electricity […]

• Facts are facts

  The worst thing about suffering with mental illness is that you can’t trust yourself. You live in a constant state of gaslighting yourself “did that really happen or did I imagine it?”. It is the worst thing to suffer from – not being able to trust your own thoughts. When I’m in the depths of […]

• Choosing the path less travelled

  That’s something about myself that I genuinely like…I don’t give up easily. I am a resilient f**ker, me. I will keep moving forward even when it hurts like a bastard. So, I’m going to work every single day and I’m doing my best on invoices that read like Japanese to me. I don’t understand Japanese. […]

• I miss him

  I was walking through the city on my way home yesterday and there it was – a worn, dusty brown baseball cap on a table in Forest Chase. I looked around, in case someone had just gotten up and I could call out and tell them they’d left their hat behind…but noone was around. I […]
