I'm Back Baby& I'm Better than Ever!

After 6 months of not blogging, I have finally decided to return to the Blog-e-sphere! If that is such a word! There are 2 people who've encouraged my return; Vlogger Zoella and my Friend Katie from "It's Always Tea Time". Over the past 6 months I have done ALOT of things! But the reason I stopped blogging was due to my Mental Health. Zoella recently launched her campaign of wearing a red button to signify you suffer from Mental Health problems such as anxiety and this has helped me believe that I am not alone, again. 

So I thought I would fill you in on the past 6 months...

Here are 10 things that have changed my life since April:

1. I went travelling round Europe with my Best Friend Kirsty
2. I went to New York (finally!) with another Best Friend, Charlotte
3. I Graduated with a 2:1 in Philosophy & Politics from the University of Leeds
4. I left Leeds and My dear Uni-Fam
5. I moved back to my Hometown and am now living with my Family again
6. I began the Guiding Leadership Qualification
7. I got my own Car and she's called Maud!
8. I got a job as a Teaching Assistant
9. I started the Graduate Diploma in Law & met so many new & lovely people
10. I got my Old Job at Sainsburys back

As you can see, I have had a busy few months. So many happy and exciting things have happened to me. Seeing this list, you may question, why I wasn't blogging and sharing all that I have done. You may also ask, how can someone be miserable when they have so much to live for?!

But Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and IBS are all conditions which aren't that simple. 

When you look at me, I don't look ill.

Most days are good days at the minute and you might think I am as normal as anyone else.

But underneath the mirage I create for the outside world, I felt like I was slowly sinking.

I was like a duck - up top I was giving the impression of being normal and down below I was paddling away trying to keep my head above the water.

However, since September, I have been so much better. Better than I have been in years.

My Medication changed

I got new jobs

I made new friends and started a Uni course that I loved

I was living in the comfortable surroundings of home and having TLC lavished on me

and I am much happier, eating more, suffering less and am healthy.

I feel like I am myself again...Although some days I feel like I am back to my 16 year old self.

But Life is going well.

And I feel I want to begin sharing things again.
