selfcare

The importance of self-care is paramount; enhance your health and wellbeing, manage your stress, and maintain control under pressure.

Say AHHHHHHH
For sometime I've been putting off going to the dentist. One reason is because I've moved and didn't care to go to my previous dentist, though that was around three years ago...maybe more.

Will 2021 be my year?
My journey through 2020 was a complex one. I had started the year unemployed, which I had been since 2018, so there was nothing new there, but also I was facing debt and pulling my way out of crippling depression. I had no motivation, no goals, no ambition and no happiness I, was lost in life. I was trapped; a lifelong prison sentence or so it felt. Dealing with my borderline personality disorder breakdown between September 2019 - January 2020 left me exhausted. It was the biggest battle I had to face with my mental health in such a long time I thought I would never bounce back from it. When Covid-19 was announced and the Nation faced lockdown I was devastated. I had worked so hard to climb out of this hole only to be kicked right back into it again, I thought what is the point of my existence when it seems that everything that happens is to just knock me back down again.

Where She Rambles On
Alright, self, the past year hasn't been too kind. Neither was the year before that, or the one before that, or the past decade, really, now that we think about it. It's been worse for other people, a lot worse, but I've still had a pretty lousy go of late.

Dear Keila
Girl, here we are, face to face with a new year. Front and center to endless possibilities. Filled with rejuvenated hope and a full tank of New Year gas! I’m going to be honest with you, it’s just like every other year. You still have the same 365 days as last year and the same 24hrs in a day as yesterday. This time though, we’re fucking focused!

You think you know me?
Origins Born in Nottingham on the 28th March 1991 I know that my parents were having their own difficulty which affected my upbringing. From a very early age I didn't live with either of my parents but with various family members. I don't have all that many memories from this time period, but something that is hard to forget was being locked in a tiny cupboard for no reason other than for enjoyment. An abuse of power from a family member I should have been able to trust. I remember as a very young child the pressure rising as I was engulfed in total darkness unable to move only cry and scream. A momentary loss of self before my brain had even properly formed, or I had any real sense of identity. I don't remember a happy present family. It's important to understand that whilst the responsibility should have been with my parents to give me a strong stable foundation, this is not something I hold against them. As a young adult I understand that life is cruel and difficult even at the best of times and sometimes we make the wrong decisions or we just can't cope.

7 Signs You Are In Denial and Need Spiritual Healing
There is A LOT going on in the world right now! If you are in the slightest paying attention to all this mass manipulation of consciousness happening in so many arenas from beauty to politics to food to the introduction of artificial intelligence - then you MUST be feeling some type of way inside yourself that is keeping you from pursuing those big old dreams of yours.

You think you know me?
It's nearly October. It is cold but the beautiful sun shines through my window reminding me to be grateful in the present moment. Even as I sit here reflecting on some of the most difficult periods of my life, it's hard not to feel hopeful. A reminder that there is more to life than my ego, even as the tears fall.

You’re Not Lazy — Self-Isolation is Utterly Exhausting
Days after voluntarily entering self-isolation in March, I came to a startling discovery. Working from home, barely seeing people, meetings over Skype and phone, very little human contact… I had been voluntarily self-isolating for the better part of three years of my life.

Let Music Be Your Jumper Cables
So if you, like me, have a host of mental health issues, you already know what “rock bottom” means. For some background, my brain is riddled with clinical depression, anxiety, major panic disorder, as well as autism (Asperger’s), and ADD. Nightmares are a nightly occurrence and I get regular panic attacks. I am a mess of unbalanced mental chemistry. I also work multiple jobs and am in the process of returning to school (which, let’s be honest, is almost more stressful than actually being IN school). I’m certain most of you have something similar going on in your own lives.
