It's funny now, reading over my old blog posts, and realising they very succinctly capture the goings on of the last few months. How did I write some of those things and not realise there was something going on in my head?
To be honest, though, looking back I probably knew deep down what was wrong with me. I definitely knew I had issues with anxiety. The diagnosis of depression was a bit of a surprise at the time, but now I think about it, it shouldn't have been.
In case you hadn't heard and haven't realised by now, yes, I've had a rough few weeks. Recovering from depression is a long journey. But things are definitely looking up. I'm thinking about new vocations and new adventures. I'm going to travel. I'm going to go back to Uni and study some more (and I know you're all looking forward to THOSE blog posts). I'm going to do some of the things that I've been putting off because I never had time.
My journey will probably feature in a few blog posts, because I think mental health is still something we don't talk about enough. We see it as a our own private battle and that's fine, but if you don't talk about it, other people can't help you. And if no one knows where you've been, they can't ask you for help either.
About Me
- Rach
- As far back as I can remember, I hated being called Rach. I moved to a new state, got over it, and am now trying to embrace the moniker as the only nickname I've ever had that stuck. I like Doctor Who, vintage Tinkerbell, the colour red, butterflies, hats and coffee. I love so many other things that I'm still trying to sort out exactly what I'm going to do about it. This is both exciting and scary. And so the logical thing to do is blog about it, and hope that maybe 3 people will read it if I'm lucky.
