• 30 questions with JD :)

• Thankful

  I’m still in pain. Still suffering. Still uncomfortable no matter what position I sit or lay in. So instead of complaining, I’m going to tell you what I’m thankful for. I’m thankful for Alun. He’s going through a lot of grief and has his friend Dave’s funeral on the 8th June. Even so, he is […]

• Black box

  A talented artist Stan Walker sings a song I LOVE called “Black Box” where in the chorus he sings “There’s a little black box yeah, somewhere in the ocean…holding all the truth about us…there’s a little black box, a record of emotion…everything there ever was…” (** Black boxes are anti-breakable boxes on planes that record […]

• 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 […]

• The time a homeless man gave me money

  I’ve had enough of hurting, I’ve had enough of crying so today, let’s go back to 2008 and re-visit a memory that makes me smile, ok? I had moved back to Perth (woohoo) while still married to my first husband to go back to Uni. We’d searched like maniacs for an apartment for me and […]

• Everyone has a story

  I’m watching “Mindhunter” on Netflix and as shocking and appalling as the serial murders are (honestly sometimes I cover my phone screen with my hand, I can’t bear to watch the violence or the suffering of the poor, innocent people getting murdered). But a part of me is curious about the workings of the mind […]
