A Peer Supporter's Guide to Understanding the Definition of Progress in Our Mental Health Journey's
I used to be just like many of you out there, believing that persistent, challenging thoughts and feelings meant I was either regressing or not moving forward quickly enough in managing my ADHD and generalized anxiety. However, I've learned that our conventional 'in with the good, out with the bad' philosophy, while appealing, oversimplifies the complex realities of our mental health challenges.

The Past Awakened/ Distorted Reality book 1. Content Warning.
*You can find this story in full on Tapas and Wattpad Typing away on my laptop, my goal is to get this post done today. I'm running late on my deadline. Usually I try to get a blog post published twice a week, but this week has been a bit off. Still, I persist to stay on schedule. Blogging is something I found more enjoyable than doing the jobs I had before. Something where I don't have to worry about others' rules and I get the freedom to build the structure that works best for me. Where my bad days can happen without fear that I have to push myself to do something that feels overwhelming or too hard in those moments. So being my own boss in a way is what I knew I wanted to strive for.

Dyspraxia and my 'Musa'
Hello :) above is a video of Musa from Fate: The Winx Saga. I will explain how this relates later. My name is Amber Forest. Some of you know me as Chloe, a member of a group called Dyspraxia Dialogues based in Norfolk. Please check them out on Facebook! If you have been following my stories, it will be no secret that I have a developmental difference called dyspraxia or 'Developmental Co-ordination Disorder.' For those who do not know what that is, I am going to create my own definition later because this one is misleading:

Whispers in the Mind
In the dimly lit room, the soft glow of a flickering candle barely penetrated the shadows that clung to the corners. Adam sat on the edge of his bed, his hands trembling as he clutched a worn journal to his chest. His mind was a battleground, torn between reality and delusion, each vying for control of his fractured psyche.
