Mental health is one of the most important things and after realising this the hard way, I know a lot of people take it for granted. I struggle mainly with anxiety, but as anyone who has suffered from anxiety, it is a quick step to depression. My anxiety is mainly triggered by the unknown, the future, and things that are outside my control. Which I know, will speak to a lot of people who struggle too. Now because of the triggers, I find it really hard to focus especially late at night or when I am tired, I find it hard to sleep without sound in the background and I struggle with letting go.

Hiya guys, Just a short one from me today, there is an update in terms of my website address. I have been on blogger for a while but honestly I think I have outgrown some of this platform and want to take the next step. So I have invested a bit more time and launched a new website. All my old content is available on there and new content will be uploaded to there exclusively. One or two more posts are scheduled here but not much. Please come and follow me on Kirstwee.com  Thanks for all of your support and love it is really appreciated and I would love to see if the same continue on my new site 🧡

So with over 100 days in lockdown, most of which I wasn't working from home, I found I had a lot of spare time. At first, I was in a big hole of depression, I didn't get dressed, I didn't look after myself and honestly, my IBS was off the charts. TMI I know. After finding a groove, we started shaping a routine mainly by watching the soaps, Eastenders and Coronation Street. Watching the Geoff storyline develop was hard but gripping at the same time. If you have them saved, I would watch them, they are great tele but also I stark reminder of what some people have to go through.

Who out there remembers the cake we used to get at school, with pink icing and sprinkles? Well, I do, and let me tell you I was so happy when I found this recipe. It isn't mine, I don't know exactly who wrote it, I just saw it on a Facebook post and have saved it. It was in a strange order and so I thought I would pop it on here. Mainly so I don't have to keep searching on Facebook!!

Not even going to start with an apology. It should just be a given at this point. Honestly, I can't even begin to tell you how much I have struggled with what is happening in the world, but as always we just try and plow on. What I have found comfort in over the last few months; is food, good T.V and my other half. I would normally add the cat in there but I think he enjoys our company more than we like his complaining.
