Adolescence

The husband and I decided to watch Adolescence on Netflix after hearing a lot about the series. If you haven’t seen it the series is about a 13 year old boy that gets arrested for the stabbing of a teenage girl. Having a 13 year old son myself made me even more intrigued to watch it. I have to say that it was very powerful and emotional. From both the parent’s point of view and the child’s. It…

Self Care

Self care is so important we have to be true to ourselves. I have learnt that in the past few months that I need to stick up for myself more. I think a lot of it is about building up mental resilience and knowing that you have every right to stand up for yourself. Remember that it’s important also to set boundaries and invest in yourself. Most of all take care of yourselves the world can be a…

Job Hunting

I’ve been job hunting for nearly four months now and it that time I’ve applied for quite a few positions that have sounded interesting. Out of the jobs that I have applied for three of them I’ve had interviews for and quite a few not successful on this occasion which I’m getting used to, to be honest. I think the major problem is that there is so much competition out there. It’s like a dog eat…

Overcoming my fear of driving on the motorway.

As you may not be aware however I am not the most confident driver and have never driven on the motorway. Well Tuesday morning I conquered that fear and drove on the M69 to Home Bargains in Coventry and then went to my folks in Burbage. I feel so proud of myself for overcoming this challenge and facing my fear. I thought if I don’t try it I never will. I can’t let fear control my life. I had…

story of My Life

I’ve always wondered about whether to write down my experiences in life. Like when I got stuck in a dress or looked into the wrong house window. It’s not always been comedy there are serious experiences as well like having a toxic friend, nearly falling into a dangerous situation when I was 16. Working at Butlins when I was 18. Umm always something to consider 🤔

Saying No and Self Reflection

This morning I have been doing some self reflection after reading an interesting article about the subconscious part of our mind. Being someone that likes to help others as most of us are I always struggle to say no. I think the reason for this is because I was always taught by my parents to be kind, helpful and respectful. When in reality what would have helped me with saying no they could…

I left my job to look after my mental health

Just over two weeks I left my job as a dispensing assistant at a chemist due to the role making my anxiety worse. I ended up putting myself onto medication. I dreaded going in every day and the owner was toxic. It was really affecting my health and my self esteem so I left. I have now decided that I need to work on getting myself back to how I used to be. I am currently doing CBT and next week I…

My Job Affected My Mental Health

Yesterday I left my job as a dispensing assistant in a chemist. I had only been there for a few months but it was really making my anxiety worse. The pharmacist was horrible every day he was negative, moaning, picking faults at petty things, making me look stupid, embarrassing me in front of the customers and other things. One time he even asked if I’d put fresh water in the kettle because his…

Weight loss

People say to me it must be great being slim and I say thank you but they don’t know the real reason it’s due to anxiety and stress. I’ve been to the doctors and had tests done which came back ok. Apart from having low Iron and they said that I had an under active thyroid which usually causes weight gain not loss. So he wasn’t sure. My anxiety has been triggered again as I have been doing a new…

Understated Cafe - Hinckley, UK

This morning I thought I would try the new coffee shop that had opened up in town. The cappuccino was good and the prices were reasonable. The decor was nice and there was even more seating upstairs which was good and it catered for remote workers if you needed the privacy and I would definitely recommend paying the place a visit.
