My First Blog


It seems I set up this blog site 4 years ago, but this is my first post.

That pretty much encapsulates the problem I have with procrastinating, which is one of the many topics I will be covering in this blog, along with general every day life, mental health, physical health, relationships, domestic abuse, suicide, eating disorders, and more.

Sounds a laugh a minute right?

Well I'll be hoping to cover all of these subjects with my own special brand of warmth and wit - not that I think things like eating disorders and suicide are inherently funny, but when talking about such miserable things as these, a little humour can make the conversation more accessible to people.

We're often told that it's good to talk, that we shouldn't be ashamed to be open and honest about our struggles, but when we are we can be seen as 'attention seeking'. Over the last year or so I've posted a few things online about my own life which I have no doubt caused half of my Facebook friends to cringe and roll their eyes at my oversharing.. but I also received many private messages from others, thanking me for making them realise they weren't alone, telling me I'd given them hope.

So, for those people, I present this blog. For the others, I'll try to keep the FB oversharing to a minimum. (I can't promise that though.)

Peace out on my first, and rather boring, blog post..

Stay tuned xxx
