Changing the Narrative
Inspirational people… It’s been a while again since I last posted, I hope this blog finds you well and enjoying the festive preparations. Life here continues to be busy, but generally good busy. As always anxiety levels fluctuate depending on activities and head space to manage it, tricky at the start of the month but …
A little off topic
Happy New Year… Can I still say that when we are more than half way through the month? Anyway, I hope you had a lovely Christmas and it wasn’t too difficult to navigate. Only a few weeks in but lots going on in my head at the moment, not exactly related to my anxiety, yet, …
It’s not ok
Sometimes you hear things, comments people make, some deliberate, some off the cuff and you realise that there is still so far to go with raising awareness of mental health issues and what that means. There are still people who think it’s just an excuse some use to have time off work or not take …
I am a cactus
Its been a while… I can’t believe it’s been 5 months since my last blog post I don’t know where the time goes sometimes. So a lot has been happening, my kids have left school and get their exam results next week. I’ve got a new job (still at the university in the same area …
New Year, still me
Goodbye Christmas… Happy New Year to you all, hope you had a nice relaxing, healthy Christmas. It may have been a quieter one but the break was very much welcomed in our household.

What a week
My new job… So my last blog post was all about the big change coming up, starting a new job, in a new team, in a new location and how I was feeling about that. As that last week came to a close I had a wonderful send off from my colleagues, my friends; lovely …
To write or not to write
Time… Funny thing time isn’t it, when you’re waiting for something to start or even to finish it can seem to go on forever but then other times you look back and think wow where has that time gone! It’s been almost 6 months since I last wrote, I have thought a few times shall …
A Rollercoaster Week…and how to handle them
A tough week… Sunday evenings, made for looking to the week ahead and reflecting on the previous week right? It was a difficult one for me last week, I knew it would be, I had been building it up for a while, a totally unhelpful thing to do as always! The previous week I was …
In my dreams
Exercise update… Well it’s been almost 8 weeks since my last blog post telling you about my new plan for diet and exercise, I’d say the exercise part has been going better than the diet so far. Only about 4lbs lost so not quite what I’d hoped for but for most of the 8 weeks …
