Finding my passion for cooking again has been such a wonderful thing for me.
I used to love cooking before depression and starting to get that love back, fills me with joy.

Tonight, for the first time ever since having two babies, I did the school/nursery runs, played with them, made dinner and did bedtime solo and actually didn’t feel overwhelmed.
It’s a tiny thing to some, but for me this is huge!

Last March I came to this train station to end my life where a bunch of flowers saved me.
I regularly get the train from here in the morning for work now.
Times change so quickly and when it seems so bleak and dark, often there is a little glimmer of light pouring in.

Managed to cook for the first time in a while last night + it was delicious!
I made Lebanese lamb with rice and mint yoghurt.
While battling depression + PTSD, I often slip away from things that make me feel like me, so it was good to get a little bit of that back last night.

This is a message from my Grandma. They say that older generations are ignorant to mental health, but what a blessing she is.

Sometimes I feel like I’m not doing enough as a parent, and then I remember that what seem like the little things are often the big things to them.

Sending a gentle merry Christmas to all those who celebrate.
Remember, it’s okay for it not to be the most wonderful time of the year. ♥️♥️

I can’t even tell you how happy it makes my heart that my last baby is such a snuggle bug. I was always told that boys love their mummy’s and after losing my first boy to a rare chromosomal condition, you better believe that this means everything to me. 🫶

Over the past year, I’ve finally found places that make me feel at ease. This is one of those places for me.
When I was in crisis, I used to think it was silly to find a nice place to go for my mental well-being, but now I’ve found it, I feel like I finally get it!
Do you have places like that?

I’ve been really unwell for a few days and unable to get out of bed. This has happened since reducing my Venlafaxine, and even though I know I deserve this rest, I feel so so guilty.
Reminding myself that rest is productive.
