I’m feeling at something of a low ebb at the moment; tired, headachey, generally down. I had no inspiration for today so I’ve nabbed the title from a previous post and just written how I feel. Down the rabbit hole I go, Falling fast and falling slow, Where the floor is I don’t know. Down [...]
Man am I tired lately. I sleep and sleep and I’m still tired. I nap during the day, I sleep all night and still I have tiredness headaches and feel generally exhausted. Of course I know it’s the depression. I know that’s what causes it, I know it will pass, but while it’s here it’s so…exhausting. [...]
I’ve ignored the signs for days. Denial, or maybe I just didn’t realise. The time between was longer but it can’t be that time? Not again, not already. The familiar cloak of darkness has wrapped itself around me once again and my mind cannot see a life beyond misery. It’s a light cloak this time, not [...]
Recently I’ve seen several status updates and blog posts about people wanting to come off their medication, lessen their medication or being generally fed up of their medication.

…would smell as sweet. And depression by any other name would be as shit. Having being diagnosed with a variety of mental illnesses I find myself, when suffering with one thing or another, trying to place them into one of the neat little boxes I have been provided with. Oh I feel down, but it’s [...]
I am not a photographer Or a website designer. I am not a writer Or a mental health advocate. I am not a good friend Or a good daughter. I am nothing. Nobody. But I don’t know how to be anything else.
I have been compensated for this post, but it’s still true! You may or may not know that I used to ride, in fact I used to have a horse that lived in my Uncle’s stables. She was beautiful and so lovely, apart from that time she stood on my foot…and that other time she [...]
