Making Plans

This evening has been lovely. We went to my partners dads for dinner, sat outside, did a quiz and played a game. It was great. I adore my own Dad so very much. He will always be (as well as my partner) the most important man in my life. But my partners dad is like another father to me. He's incredible. He really wants to spend some time with us this Summer so we started planning tonight. There's a great place for walking nearby which we want to explore and maybe go to a castle at some point. We're trying to think of other things. I really don't mind what we do though because its just nice to spend time with him.

It is official, me and my partner are definitely going to the little festival tomorrow evening. His dad is taking us and I am very excited. We're going to chill out, have something nice to eat and listen to some music. There is a local guy singing there who is amazing. He sings about mental health and how it affects him, a bit like how I write about it here. I can't wait to see him again.

My bubble wrap came today. I have a load of ornaments and china houses covering my shelves in the bedroom. My Mum used to collect them and after she passed away, they were all given away to charity shops. So, I've started collecting again. I must have about 100. But until we have our own place, they're going to have to be stored away as they are getting broken and it is just too cluttered. I may do that tonight, I may not.

I hope anyone reading this has a wonderful weekend and enjoys the weather. I'm having another good couple days at the moment and as always, I hope it lasts.

Samantics

Oh my goodness. What an epic evening. Anywhere where there is food, drink, folk music and a happy atmosphere - I cannot get enough of. And that's what tonight was for me and my partner. The main reason we went tonight was to see Samantics. He was incredible as always AND I got to meet him, talk to him, got a hug and even a photo. I have seen him many, many times live now and I have never had the confidence to talk to him. Anxiety has always gotten in the way. But I plucked up the courage today and it felt so good. We talked about the fact I had just started Sertraline and he said to stick with it. The majority of his songs are about mental health and how its affected him in his life. So, I thought it would be ok to bring up. He approached me actually because he noticed that I was wearing his t-shirt from crowdfunder. He was the first crowdfunder I have ever backed and I was glad I did. I bought his shirt, new album, a travel cup, lyric book and bottle opener. Anyway, what a truly a...

Struggling

Hello, all. Yesterday my partner went with his family into the city to play golf. I had a really tough night sleeping the night before so I decided to give it a miss as I had a busy evening planned. My afternoon plans got rescheduled to today but my friend still came over for our evening picnic. Unfortunately, we had to eat our picnic indoors as the weather was terrible but we still went for a nice, long walk and had a great chat. We've decided that next time we meet, we will have some drinks so that will be fun. Today my partner had his universal credit meeting and I went and met up with my cousin. We went to hers and also to the pub to meet my uncle. I was considering writing a little about my family and I would like to but as it involves others, I thought it would be safer I didn't. All I will say is that I haven't seen my uncle since I was 9 years old so it was crazy to see him again. Being back in the town that I lived with my mum (who is now deceased) and seeing c...

Sleeping Pattern

So in trying to sort out my sleeping pattern, I am completely losing track of what day and time it is. We managed to stay up all night and go to bed at 9am this morning and we got up at 6pm. Now, we will try to stay up all night again into tomorrow afternoon. My Doctors appointment is at 9am but I will still be awake and won't have to get up. Its very complicated. I feel worse after a good nights sleep than I do a shorter night. About 7 hours is good for me, any more than that and I start feeling dodgy. I'm nervous about tomorrows appointment. I am definitely slowly improving my anxiety and I think thats down to the Sertraline and really pushing myself, but I still have a phobia of Doctors and I think I will for a long time. The reason for tomorrows appointment is to review the Sertraline again, talk about side effects, whether I think its working and possibly adjust the dose/change the medication if its not. I also want to talk to her about the IBS Symptoms that my therapist...
