A Wild Distraction Appears

Made me a bit emotional writing parts of this post. Even though it often feels as though I've made no progress, I have. Hope you find something useful in here 💙wilddistraction.wixsite.com/… #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthsupport

Just a long list of stuff I find hard to do. Got the motivation and confidence today to believe that I can work on this and one day I'll be living my life to the damn fullest!

I absolutely love being part of @GiveUsAShout 💙💛💙🥰

Things have been weird. I've been trying to digest it all. Now headed into work (school). No idea how many kids we'll have. Friday was sad. Saying goodbye to a scared year 6. Let's see what today brings.

Really really need to hear more stuff like this 💙💛💙 Any other #corvidkindness going on out there? Apologies if that's a freaking horrific #

Shit, I just remembered one HUGE thing that I left off this list. wilddistraction.wixsite.com/… GOING TO LYON BY MY FUCKING SELF WHEN I WAS SUPER ANXIOUS AND DEPRESSED. I feel another blog post coming up...

Do you ever just sit and think about all the people that you used to know? Wondering if they ever think about you? Or if eleven years is too long to make an apology for being an immature idiot? #justme #overthinking #peopleyouusedtoknow #strangersnow

TW : alcohol Day 6 of #365daysofselfcare is an expertly made whiskey sour by my papa-nearly-in-law. Who knew a whiskey sour was practically medicinal! Hope you're all having a lush evening! 💛 #selfcare #mentalhealth #whiskysour #cocktailhour #homemade #treatyoself

I finally finished my massive 6 minute read blog post. As always, would love to hear your thoughts! wilddistraction.wixsite.com/… #newpost #mentalhealthblog #recovery #top30 #birthdaypost #anxiety #depression #agoraphobia

What a gorgeous idea from @KatieConibear 💛💙💛 Writing workshops for mental health 🧠frommindtopaper.org.uk/ #journaling #writingtherapy #mentalhealth #MentalHealthAwareness #recovery #writingworkshop

Rephrasing stuff really works for me. This is a new one I'll definitely be trying out! 💛

Day 5 and 6 of #365daysofselfcare include cancelling anything I can e.g. volunteering (they wouldn't want me when I'm sick anyway!) and not feeling guilty about spending copious amounts of time in bed. Hopefully I'll start to feel better soon! #sick #selfcare #sickday #bedrest

Yesterday's Day 4 of #365daysofselfcare consisted of staying in my PJ's all day and barely moving from bed 🤧 I'm a very lazy and grumpy patient. Hats off to my partner. #poorly #notcoronavirus

Day 3 of #365daysofselfcare was making a tough decision. I was supposed to be seeing my brother (he lives a few hours away) but I'm poorly, so despite feeling incredibly guilty, I cancelled. Trying hard to remember that #selfcareisntselfish

Just found out that the gorgeously talented @yelyahwilliams is going to be performing @thegreatescape in Brighton and I desperately want to go. If only anxiety/panic would let me 😭 Can I fucking try and get through it?! Eurgh. Feeling pitiful. Send cute animals. Please. #anxiety

So they gym didn't make me feel as good as usual 🤷🏽‍♀️ #selfcare plan number 2, sing as loudly as I can to @yelyahwilliams driving home. Ah much better 💛 💙 💛 #petalsforarmor #musicislife #recovery
