LIL TIPS FOR WHEN YOU'RE FEELING SAD

Today is world mental health day and my timelines have been flooded with posts about it and advice and I thought I'd give you some of my tried and tested methods. As you should all know by now (cos I never stop bloody saying so), my brain doesn't always work properly and I have some chemicals missing and I suffer a bit from depression and anxiety. It's a bummer. Some days I fall into a pit of misery and despair and can't bring myself to do anything. And some days I fall into a pit of misery and despair and remember these tips and it helps a little bit.

7/12

Hi pals. I have missed blogging but ya gal is so busy that life just catches up on you and then you're almost eight months into the year and WHAT IS TIME?!
I keep a little list of all the blog posts I want to write and genuinely have the best intentions to write them but having a nap is way easier than trying to formulate articulate and interesting blog posts. HOWEVER, you're in luck because I got back off me holidays today and 8pm isn't really a good time for me to be going to bed so I've got the laptop out and shall be tippy tapping until the cows come home. The last time we spoke was after the horrendous attacks in Manchester, just before I finished my year working in Lanzarote.

21 LIFE LESSONS

An alternate title for this post could be "the cringiest list ever written on the internet". I don't really care, chica likes a little cheese. For a long time I've been wanting to get back into blogging, since I read so many of other people's, so here we go. Last week I turned 21 and for some reason it still holds significance as a 'big birthday' because it supposedly means the beginning of adulthood. I mean I moved to Norwich on my own in 2012 and to Alicante on my own in 2014, but no, it was turning 21 in 2015 which made me a fully fledged adult. What a load of bollocks. 

A MONTH ON MEDS

Okay I know this is technically my year abroad blog and I'm no longer on a year abroad but I find writing therapeutic so deal with it losers. Today marks four weeks since I went to the doctors and got diagnosed and prescribed my antidepressants so I thought I'd write a little bit more on that experience and also how I've got on with the medication because I was always looking for posts like this before I plucked up the courage to go so maybe other people are looking too.
