The Change

The Change

Not that one. This is a different one. A change I didn’t realise was happening…I didn’t even realise it was needed! Turns out I’ve been sad. Like, really sad. Not just living with depression and stuff, but sad on top of that. Sad with life. And stressed. And then the other day this photo was [...]

If you follow my tweets you may have noticed some incredibly panicked ones of late, failure to sleep, drinking rescue remedy like water, memory failure, complete loss of words, violent mood swings, y’know…the usual when I’m stressed. The reason for all of the above (this time) is that on Tuesday, that’d be…tomorrow…I’m going to Paris [...]

Loire R&R

Loire R&R

On Thursday I headed off on a coach trip to the Loire with some of the other ex-pats and some of the locals. It was just a day trip to learn about the wine making process and such, with breakfast and lunch included and it was lovely. Aside from my standard travel sickness on the [...]

Three Weeks

Three Weeks

That’s how long it’s been since I went to uni. Three full weeks. Only one of those was an official week off. I am failing. I am fighting as hard as I possibly can, but I am still failing. There is nothing more they can do, there is nothing more I can do, I just [...]

I need a holiday!

Mrs TeePot November 2, 2010

That’s it. No more “holidays,” I’m done, I want an actual holiday. One where I can stick to my routine and feel relaxed by the end of it, not like I need another holiday. One where I don’t feel more stressed than on a normal day. One where I’m not ill *cough* *splutter*! As you [...]

Making no sense

Mrs TeePot October 28, 2010

So that’s not really news, huh! But I was stuck for a title and it fits. I haven’t been to uni for a week now. In fact this last couple of days I have pretended it doesn’t exist. And oddly, the last 2 nights I slept, last night I didn’t even have any nightmares. This [...]

Stress

Mrs TeePot October 4, 2010

Stress affects me, a lot. It’s my biggest trigger for every single one of my mental health diagnoses, and so I find myself blogging, yet again, about my mental health. Once again my posts are making no sense, once again I can barely focus for long enough to write a post, and once again I [...]

I feel like I’m in a one sided relationship at the moment. Well, if I’m being honest I feel like a single person in a relationship, mainly in the sense that I am totally alone emotionally, physically and, for the most part, financially but at the same time I am giving emotional support, having to [...]

Brief background: I have suffered with anxiety and depression (possible bi-polar disorder) for most of my life, recently I have been through excellent counselling (privately) and have recovered from my depression and am getting there with the anxiety. Recently though, I have been on the other side of the fence, and I’ve gotta tell ya; [...]

Things are tough here at the moment. Really tough. In fact they have been for the past 3 months or so and it’s beginning to take its toll on me. I’m exhausted all the time, I’m hungry all the time, I’m stressed all the time. You get the picture. So in an effort to get [...]
