        How To Live: Understanding My Own Thoughts

        I am alive. But am I just existing? I get the feeling, often, that I’m simply drifting. When this feeling takes hold, I struggle to fight it and it becomes the norm. It begins to consume me. I start to lose happiness and joy for things. Unfulfilled potential. Unhappiness. A constant nagging frustration. Irritability. A background fear and dread of slipping. Slipping into another breakdown or another outburst. Of having to pick up the pieces of my life. Yet again. My mind auto

        Fuck It! Strength through Vulnerability. Part 3 of 3.

        I had to be more open-minded. I had to go out of my comfort zone. I was struck by a quote saying, “Easy Choices, Hard Life. Hard Choices. Easy Life.” Straight away I got on Meet Up and found a Confidence and Self Esteem group. I did something before I could change my mind. I thought about my assets more. From the get go, my teaching was better. I wasn’t drinking. More healthy eating. More exercise. I was sticking to routines. I was on my way back up. I had started to make cha

        Fuck it! Strength through Vulnerability. Part 2 of 3.

        My closest childhood friend had married a year before, a fantastic time where I loved being the best man. Another close friend had recently become engaged, to someone I had introduced him to and my closest friend in London who had helped me in recent times was also engaged. This made me reflect on myself. A strong feeling of peer pressure overcame me and I started to beat myself up out of comparison. Eventually I thought about what I lacked in comparison and decided it was st

        Fuck It! Strength through Vulnerability. Part 1 of 3.

        I have always felt that life is about spinning plates. A Saturday afternoon in London in October 2015 was when all my plates fell down. I had a breakdown. Just typing that brings back the painful memory of that day, but by writing this I have accepted what happened and feel that I am on a journey to learn to accept myself. What I actually remember from that day was getting up as normal but soon after not feeling myself. I didn’t even know who I was any longer. I was all over
