    2013 for me started and finished much the same – with pretty horrible depressive episodes. Both were triggered by work-related stress. The first was much, much worse, owed to going through some rather personal difficulty. Basically I spent the first 2 months of 2013 feeling only hurt, then nothing at all, before I started to…

    Depression is cruel and although I’ve dealt with it for most of my life it’s been a rare thing that it hasn’t been manageable. I can certainly count those times on one hand and am thankful that I have support and love from people in my life to help me through. 2013 didn’t have a…

    My lack of motivation is freaking me out. I’ve become complacent. Part of me wants to be happy now, to have confidence in myself now, to love myself NOW. Another part of me wants to hate myself. And the rest of me wants the willpower and motivation to kick the other parts’ asses. To push…

    The past few weeks have been more difficult, mentally and emotionally, than I’ve had to deal with in the past few months. I do think part of it is due to lack of exercise, but there are always a number of other factors involved. The factors can be anything, and will trigger different things in…

    It’s been 16 days since I’ve done any exercise now, so my recovery time from Insanity is done. During Insanity I was doing more exercise than I’ve ever been used to doing, and it felt amazing and had more benefits than I realised, the linch pin was stabilising my mood. I noticed it a little…

    Most people have heard this phrase. It could be in relation to just about anything, too. I have a problem with this “advice”: it doesn’t work for me. I faked being happy for a very long time, probably longer than I even know. I knew something was wrong but just ignored it and hoped that…

    This Autumn has been BLAH. Since the start of October I’ve been feeling run down and not very energetic at all. My throat’s been somewhat scratchy and I have constantly felt like I’m coming down with something. My mood, however, has been alright. We’ve been super busy, going away almost every single weekend so I…
