Moving Out

-

So it's been a couple of years since I last blogged and life has changed so much. My health has detoriated to the point where I finally admitted it was time to get help. 

The thought of moving out into my own place filled me excitement but what I wasn't expecting was the feeling of loneliness which soon kicked in. When you're young you imagine how your life will be, if you told me at 16 in the future I'd be disabled with lymphodema, arthritis, fibromyalgia and severely obese I'd say you're thinking of the wrong person. 

I'm fortunate in that living independently I can manage well financially which is a massive relief and many people aren't as fortunate. At times I feel silly when I'm depressed as I think there's people out there going through much worse and my problems are insignificant compared to theirs.

"You've got so much to be happy about"

I've always found it difficult to open up and tell people my thoughts and whenever I have found the courage to do so it hasn't actually helped my mental health, it's made it worse. The reason being very few people understand and 90% of the time they all respond with the class one liner "You've got so much to be live for". It has to be one of the most frustrating lines any of us with mental health have had to hear time and time again. I truly believe you cannot understand how someone with mental health issues is feeling unless you've got similar experience yourself. Once I went to see a counseller, I was 14 and sitting across me was an elderly gentleman who I just couldn't relate to all. It was like being in the room with your grandad and told to just blurt out all your deep thoughts. I don't want the support from 'professionals' who have read textbook after textbook on mental health. I benefit most from people who have been in simil...

New Year's Resolutions!

1. Come on then let’s just get it over and done with, the cliche New Years resolution is coming, the classic...lose weight. This year I’m hoping to spend more time in the kitchen and be more daring with food. If I do cook then it’s a case of shoving a pizza in the oven. 2. The Fitbit is coming out of storage, quick dusting and I’m determined to wear is as much as possible. I’m going to start off small and aim to reach 5,000 steps a day. To be honest, I’d be over the moon if I get to the stage whereby, I’m able to tie my own shoe lace. 3. My arch nemesis ...fizzy pop. I drink an unbelievable amount of fizzy pop and the worse thing is I’ve proved to myself I don’t need it because when I’m working or at uni all I drink is water all day. I’ll admit I’m not going to go tee total when it comes to fizzy drinks but I’ll definitely be drinking much more water. 4. Now this one is pretty much impossible for anyone who has anxiety and depression but I really need to try and not...

*OZ Naturals Ocean Minerals Cleanser*

Remember not long ago I discussed the biggest break out since Ronnie Biggs, the  spots  on my face. I managed to get rid and ever since I've been dabbling with all sorts of creams to prevent them making a reappearance. You can imagine my excitement when this little beauty dropped through my letter box. A gift from the skin gods. In the past I used to always carry tubes of cream around with me and applying it can be quite messy and leave your hands feeling oily and greasy. My face has felt much smoother and my skin has become far less dry. I think the main reason behind the cleansers success is the fact it contains no alcohol unlike many other products which cause irritations to my skin. There are several benefits such as; it is cruelty free, gluten free, vegan and contains no parabens or sulfates. It is also formulated for all skin types.  Here's what Oz Naturals have to say about the cleanser... "This superior face wash deep cleans and unclogs pores...
