To that little girl who was never good enough

It’s been a while since I’ve last posted anything. Mostly because I’ve been trying to block out life as it’s just too much at times. Anyway, a lot has happened. Some of which has been positive and some has left that feeling of being unsettled and not good enough. I’ve passed another year of uni… Continue reading To that little girl who was never good enough

It’s just all too much

Hello It’s been such a long time since I lasted posted anything and to be honest it’s all too much for me at the moment. Even work is proving to be causing me stress like I’ve never felt. Maybe it’s me and it’s actually my fault. Perhaps I deserve having this stress in my life.… Continue reading It’s just all too much

Remembering your worth

Life is hard! There’s no denying that! The past few years have been tough for everyone and for some it has been so much tougher than for others. My struggle has come from a realisation for reflection that my past was hard and it has such an effect on who I am now that some… Continue reading Remembering your worth

Imposter syndrome

Hello! It’s been a while since my last post and to be fair nothing much has happened. Uni has started up again and this year I’m already feeling like it’s an uphill battle. Trying to balance a home life where nobody actually cares that you are trying to study and still expect you to cook… Continue reading Imposter syndrome

Grief

For some of us we show an outpouring of grief and it tears us apart from the inside, for others grief is something which we keep hidden and do not let others see… Continue reading Grief

Sometimes doing absolutely nothing helps too. I’ve never been one of those people who can just sit and do nothing. Even when I am doing… Continue reading Sometimes doing nothing is amazing.

You don’t always need a plan.

I love having a plan. It’s what keeps me grounded. Although recently I have found that these plans are taking over my life a lot!! While I need to have some of these plans, especially the ones which are going to support my future like going to uni and having some to do lists at… Continue reading You don’t always need a plan.

Sometimes you have to remember you are not doing it alone.

The past week has been tough. There’s no denying it. It has been so long since I have felt so low. Rest assured I have got the support I need to from the doctors. It is very easy when you feel low to feel alone and lonely. Even if surrounded by people. This can be… Continue reading Sometimes you have to remember you are not doing it alone.

Sometimes you just need to ask for help.

Two posts in one week. What can I say I’m spoiling you all. To be serious today I have struggled more than ever with my mental health it all started yesterday to be honest. When my sister said that I never say I love you to anyone or anything. Now to be fist love is… Continue reading Sometimes you just need to ask for help.

Challenge versus pressure.

It’s been a little while since I last posted here and things have been relatively good. Deferring a module has definitely helped my mental health although there are days when I think could I have managed with the two? Obviously trying to manage a very hectic job full time did mean I couldn’t do it.… Continue reading Challenge versus pressure.
