Work has got me thinking and well each time the action which I’m about to tell you about happens, I get thinking. I work with a child with ADHD and Autism, and quite often I have outbursts which I have to deal with. The anger and the rage that comes, apparently put of nowhere isContinue reading “Emotions and how to hold them.”

Video calls got me thinking…..
I haven’t belly laughed like that in ages – there is something beautiful about being altogether with your siblings and your Mumma and laughing- feeling comfortable and bouncing off of each other. I mean we soent most of the video call laughing at Mumma trying to sort the audio and the picture on the videoContinue reading “Video calls got me thinking…..”
Fucks sake
I just wrote an incredibly good blog post about what’s going on for me – how I think I’m actually okay and happy but I keep waking up early early – 5 am and today 4. My head hurts and all my words were used on the last post that magically disappeared. I’m having theseContinue reading “Fucks sake”
The last 2 days ………….
Have been pretty good so I suppose I should write about them. I suppose I should try to remember the good times as well as the bad, yeah?! Yesterday I went back to work for the first time in over a month, well not quite, well 3 weeks and it was really good fun. Afterwards,Continue reading “The last 2 days ………….”
Fight,fight, fight.
I don’t think people realise how much strength it requires to fight ones mind on a daily basis. I had a terrible nights sleep followed by a morning lazing in bed. That just led me to deconstructive and irrational thoughts. I wasnt calling anyone and I wasn’t texting anyone back. So what I did wasContinue reading “Fight,fight, fight.”
Wrecked.
This morning I feel wrecked. Last nights events left me unable to sleep, followed by nightmares and an rude early ( not so so early 8:02am) awakening. My body feels cut up, my eyes are barely able to stay open and my brain, my little tired brain is just somewhere else. Lounging in bed hearingContinue reading “Wrecked.”
Make it happen.
Somehow, someway. Make it happen. Listen to those songs and connect. Listen to those people and connect. I had therapy with L today, the first time I had spoken to her in about 3 weeks. I’d been avoiding her and well most people from Complex Needs apart from this week, and then with all theContinue reading “Make it happen.”
Safe space.
Not the people but the place – Springfield Hospital is where I feel the most stable, the most safe. The Hospital is so much more than I realised, those smelly rooms, the unacommodating, hostile reception staff sat in their chairs behind the glass perspex boxes, the cream coloured walls with its odd choice of artContinue reading “Safe space.”
Never fight fire with fire
It always ends in an explosion of character and emotion. Walk away and regroup. Find something that calms you and give yourself time to process the emotion and situation. Today, my alcoholic housemate, managed to smash 20 glasses by pulling apart a whole cupboard in a crescendo of noise which only lasted 30 seconds. EnoughContinue reading “Never fight fire with fire”
Not all heroes wear capes……
Some wear ordinary clothes, with scuffed trainers and unwashed hair. Some wear sports clothes and some wear uniforms. Some are disguised as miracle workers, proceeding and continuing to fulfill their role each and every day, looking after those who need it. Today, I got delivered a food package from a friend of mine, L (noContinue reading “Not all heroes wear capes……”
