Learning to drive....again.

Being 22 and not being able to drive sucks, there is so much I think I might be able to do if only I had a way to get there. So I'm restarting my driving lessons tomorrow! Tomorrow! I have been quite on edge since it was booked, shakes and having to remember to breathe because just the thought so filling me with anxiety and oh my god!

  I know I'll do it, I want to, but that doesn't make it any easier..so here goes nothing...

Moving!

Arrgghh! Moving is stressful. Packing everything and making sure it's lableled, throwing away rubbish. 

Now this is just the start for us as we are currently living in a rented house that came furnished, so we don't own any furniture minus one single bed and a bookcase.

So now we're trying to find somewhere to live, find furniture, and a bunch of other complicated stuff.

Our saviour ? 

White boards and dry wipe markers! 

 

This one is from sports direct ( sportsdirect.com ) and is £1.50 (can you say bargain).

It's magnetic, wipe clean and comes with a magnetic dry wipe pen.

You can also get ones that you hang on a wall, but I can't even express how much this has come in handy not just for moving but for everyday things too. 

We put shopping lists, important events and just notes to one another on it.

I highly recommend investing in on or look out for my diy post on making a cool one yourself :) 

I hope the week goes well.

Peace and love

STRESS !!

Stress who'd do it !

 

Stress is one of those things that sometimes jumps at you and is unavoidable.

Now some people cope with stress or eliminate their stress easily and well, but me and my family....well not so much.

We're in the middle of moving and a bunch of other stressful things that are unavoidable and winding down seems like a foreign concept.

I hope anyone else who is currently feeling stressed about something(s). Knows that the chances are it won't last forever and remember that if you can change something that's causing you stress 

, do it! If you can't, forget it! (I know I'm a hypocrite) 

Good luck

Anxiety the killer

Anxiety is a killer, it causes so much pain and destruction.

   It kills your confidence and self esteem, it kills your happiness, it kills your hobbies. 

It takes it all and at this point in my life it's killing me.

  I have yet to find my fight, I'm trying but anyone who suffers with anxiety will tell you, it's hard.

It's hard to ask for help when you have an anxiety attack just at the thought of leaving the house or making a phone call or talking to someone you don't know.

  Family and friends are so important when you suffer with anxiety because they are/ can be your first port of call and I know from experience it's not easy, they might not understand but they love you and want you to be happy so they can help you get help.

Now at this point a lot of people with anxiety will go 

     " yeah um but..."

      " what if...."

And might say they feel like a burden and they don't want to cause any problems....well STOP !

  I know you might not believe me but I'm telling you.

   You are not a burden!

You may also think it's not that bad or others have it worse so why should you complain..if something is causing you problems and/or feel bad and not letting you live your life the way you have every right too then it is fucking important!

And please never feel like it's only anxiety if you have this symptom or suffer that way. If you're having a problem get help. You're loved sand things will get better. 

   We'll get through this.
