First off I want to apologise for not taking part in Blogmas like I said I would! I really wanted to take part in Blogmas but everything just got on top of me with my mental health. In this post I will be updating you on what's going on with that so you know where I'm at.
At the beginning of December- 5th December to be exact, I had an appointment with my local GP. I was able to sit down with her and explain what I was concerned about and what I wanted to happen. After talking to her, I came away with antidepressants and was waiting a referral for a mental health clinic near where I live. I started the course of antidepressants the following day and have noticed a change in my mood- I'm still feeling depressed and suicidal, but it's nowhere near as much as it used to be. Once the referral came through, I went to this clinic for an assessment and want put on antipsychotics, as well as other tablets to help with the symptoms. I was put on the antipsychotics to help with the voices I hear. I've been hearing voices for about 5 years now and since my mental health took a massive turn for the worst, that's when I decided it was time to sort it out! I am currently taking 5 tablets a day to help with my mental health but will keep you updated on my journey as I hopefully discover what's going on in my head soon!
My goal for this year is to blog more. I am still working out when I'll post, but it will most likely be once a week until I get back into the swing of things. I will be going back to physically handwriting my posts out so all I have to do is copy it from the notebook, which made my blogging life so much easier! It also helps me keep a track on what I've written so I don't post the same or something similar.
I will do another update in a couple months time (not including my mental health journey) to review how the blogging is going. I am also thinking of doing a review for once a month of how that specific month has been- I would write down the date and what happened so I could do a mini review/update from that month and can see how far I've come from the beginning of the year to the end!
