Life Update;

 

Hey everyone, 

I've struggled to write this post a few times and didn't know what to say. I guess no one really reads blogs anymore so it doesn't matter as much and I've also not written for a long time, so getting how I feel out of my head and into words isn't a familiar  setting to me.  

My life changed massively two years ago - I had a mental health break down after getting attacked at work and since then I've been trying to heal with little success. I've been in a very toxic and isolating relationship where my mental health was trapped in a cycle and my self care was non existent. My relationship ended in November 2023 and I am now 2 months into no contact. I'm doing several things to heal my mental health and move on from the toxic environment I've been in. I'm focused on my self care - for me this means hygiene - Brushing my teeth and getting washed, taking my meds, putting my make up on in the morning and off in the evening and using skincare. I'm also trying to prioritise eating a healthy diet, exercise, therapy and building my social support back up. 

So, if you'd like to come along on this journey with me on a road to self care, self love and compassion please check in with the blog. I am very pleased to say that I am in a self compassion therapy group for the next 14 weeks, exercising regularly and also eating a lot more healthy foods. This isn't going to be a straight forward process as the road to healing can be long with setbacks, but I am going to try and build a life I am content with. 

Take care xo
