Coming off anti-depressants scared the fuck out of me. Why would I want to chance going back to feeling like an angry, anxious, stressed out nutcase when I can just float along in my own little bubble? I didn’t do it on purpose, it happened by mistake twelve days ago. And now I’m in this far, I would be silly to go back.
Ok so the title of this blog post is a little bit edgy to say the least. I wanted to write a post about my beloved Nan and her recent struggles and so enlisted the help of a website to help me think of a title…….and this is what I ended up with! In reality it’s my Nan that is keeping herself alive with her fighting spirit which belies her nearly ninety five years on this planet.
So…..what do you do when your 7 year old starts thinking about boys?! It’s been a joke since she was about 2, that if she had a boyfriend, Daddy would hunt him down and kill him! Ok a bit extreme for a 2 year old but she’s my little girl so it’s allowed.
Why is it that I can throw my life out on here but when it comes to “real life” I find it harder to tell people how I’m feeling?
There’s lots of things that affect your state of mind. I’ve found that I really have to manage the things that I look at on TV, read on the web, people that I socialise with and people that I work with. More often than not, these factors are fairly easy to control.
When I was growing up in the 80’s – 90’s, technology wasn’t very common. TV was the biggest waste of our time back then. Watching kids TV on BBC1 after school until Neighbours came on and then actually sitting and watching that drivel until Dad had to watch the Six o’clock News. I remember when Channel 5 launched with the one and only master of the one liner, Tim Vine, as the face of the channel. That was the fifth major TV channel and he was the biggest name that they could recruit. Sad times.
One thing that I’ve learnt through this journey is that depression, anxiety, stress, anger, can strike at any time. You think you’re having a good day but it always has the potential to go tits up.
