150mg Sertraline every day. I’m joining in with

150mg Sertraline every day. I’m joining in with @dralexgeorge ‘s #postyourpill drive to end the medication stigma because boy did I feel paralysed by that stigma when told I needed to urgently start taking antidepressants. My situation was severe and even so, I considered not getting the prescription because I was worried what people would think. I wasn’t even sure what I thought to be honest. Did I really want to be dependent on them or what about the side effects or would they make me totally numb like a robot?
These little pills quite literally saved my life so I’m glad I said yes. They don’t come close to solving everything by any means but that’s not what they’re intended for. They’ve given me the ability to function and a base to start the healing work I needed to do in therapy…and still need to do. I struggled with feeling like I’d failed and what this said about me as a person, not to mention my spiritual health but the truth is we take pills for other chronic illnesses and don’t think anything of it. If you’re wondering if you might need medication then book that doctors appointment. It may well change your life. If you’re feeling any shame attached to taking your meds then click on the hashtag and it will undoubtedly help you to feel less alone.

AD/ PR sample | Well it might be the 1st of Decemb

AD/ PR sample | Well it might be the 1st of December but there’s no sign of Christmas in this house yet and I may or may not have only bought one gift so far 😬 but I thought I’d share something totally un-Christmas related and that’s this delightful green wall in the kids bedroom. I don’t think I’ve ever shown it on here yet and if I keep on waiting until I have everything together and edited for the grand reveal of this room then it may well be a different colour by then 😉 (jokes) It’s the only paint colour in the whole house that strays from my warm tone obsession but I love it! It’s Green 01 from @lick 😍

Almost finished editing and ready to show you our

Almost finished editing and ready to show you our bedroom reveal. I’ll get there in the end but for now let me just reassure that waking up at 6am the last few days finally hit me this morning…well it could have been that or numerous nights with 3-4 wake up calls and alternating children in our bed each night. Last night Lars had a tantrum because he told us it was too dark in our room and he wanted to put the light on (at 4am) 🥴 Ahhh they keep us young eh?…or old and haggard, whatever shoe fits.

One of the million and one things I’ve learnt in

One of the million and one things I’ve learnt in the last couple of years is I find it near impossible to relax. I took this embroidery away with me on our anniversary mini break so I could do something restful whilst watching TV because otherwise I’m always tempted to work / can’t switch off and hooray!…I finished it over the 4 days and now it resides in our bedroom 👌🏻 What do you do to relax?

A small moment of calm, feeding the ducks…becaus

A small moment of calm, feeding the ducks…because this last week I’ve felt totally overwhelmed by life and the kids have pretty much sent me over the edge, culminating in me throwing a remote across the room (was totally aiming at the sofa just to clarify). After feeling on the verge of a panic attack on Friday I stood in front of a unsuspecting shopkeeper who told me that having not been fussed on any prior occasions, he now wanted photo ID from me in order to pick up my vinted parcel for Lars. Needless to say I did not have this. After a ten minute stand off he caved, seemingly petrified that I’d sob on him and out the corner of his eye, probably noticing Lars’ attempts to instigate an avalanche of tubes of polos.
.
At my final session my therapist told me that even having finished, I should set aside time each week to have a self instigated session in order to be curious, process and journal. 4 months on and clearly I haven’t even done that once but when does one attempt that when there’s at least one small child riding me like a donkey even when doing Pilates? Answers on a postcard 😉

Slowly filling up every inch of our home with shelves and art 👌🏻…and even better, our Devil’s Ivy has made a come back! This dude was thriving when we arrived and then Nick shut it in a room with all the blinds closed whilst we went away for 5 days 🤭60% pruning was required on our return, to get rid of all the jaundice leaves. Now it’s in this happy spot and thanking us gladly. I’ll keep you posted!

Finally personalised these two prints of mine for for the kids bedroom. I mean it seems only right eh?! Each character can be personalised with a name and birthdate so they’re the perfect gift for new arrivals or for (dare I say) Christmas. #shopthelovelydrawer
