I’ve decided to not put out my real name or exact age or use any real names of people within this blog, as I want to be completely honest about everything and i’m not sure I want people I know to know some of the things I will be posting, and also i’m way too old for the drama of people getting offended or over defensive.
But I will tell you a bit about myself. I am a 20 something year old woman (I still find it strange referring to myself as a woman, I still feel like a child sometimes). I am in a long term relationship and have lived in Southampton for most of my life. I used to be all about going out, getting drunk, and surrounding myself by as many people as possible, but these days I have a couple of close friends, my partner and my animals and that’s really all I need.
I lived with anxiety and depression for many years without even knowing it, I took my anger out on people around me and didn’t understand why I was being so irrational half the time. I made a lot of bad decisions, made a lot of enemies, and cried a lot a lot. But I’ve been on medication for around 4 years now and I can honestly say I am not the same person that I used to be. This last year i’ve made some big changes in my life, the biggest being I finally am back to work after what felt like a lifetime of feeling useless but not having the mental ability to do anything about it. So, my life starts again here and I couldn’t be more excited!
