    Absolutely transformed the garden. It isn't our responsibility but due to covid, property owners can't come out. So we spent a few hours outside today fixing it up!

    Today I asked to be furloughed. 

    Its the right thing for my health right now, and as my hospital admission last week was a direct result of work it needed to be done. Everyone wanted to sign me off but I refused but know if I keep pushing on at work I'm just going to end up back in hospital.
    Work is a big deal for me as I hate letting people down, but recently due to physical and mental health I've been off more than I've been in so it makes sense to furlough me and bring someone else back...
    Hopefully I can use this time to focus on myself and stay out of hospital 🤞

    Ps. My supervisor wanted me furloughed ages ago but management refused cause I'm such a good worker 👷‍♀️ so that's made me smile haha

    Yesterday I went in a shop with my mum for the first time in 3 months, and I didn’t have a panic attack! 
    And I finally washed my hair, it was shameful how long I’d left it.

    Worked through urges to SH last night, with the help of others. 
    Made it through the night without doing anything and I'm proud of that.

    Well done everyone super proud 💖

    Remember it's one step at a time we can only do our best each day and sometimes that best is capped at getting out of bed or getting a shower which is okay :)

    I just got back from talking to my now “official” ex, feel like a bit of weight has been lifted and I think I made the right decision. I then walked home by myself and talk to my best friend on the phone so I wouldn’t do anything stupid and I didn’t. It was so busy on the beach and around the beach my anxiety levels were high to say the least but I got through it!! I’m really proud of myself! Now for a chilled rest of the reading in the garden, I think I deserve it aha

    Taken a step back because I know my mood isn't good and I want to protect myself and others around me.
    Tonight is my night for distractions

    In a leap to feel more 'normal', I braved it and got a haircut yesterday. Really glad I did. :)

    I did a zoom call with a group of girls I have been dancing with but haven’t met or spoken to before, was really quite nervous but it was super fun and I’m so glad I did it! They were all so lovely!!

    I emailed my maths teacher before my lesson to say I was going to mute my microphone today as I was feeling anxious, makes it feel so much easier knowing I don’t have to speak!
