I want to be healthy and strong and not give even the smallest of fucks about what people think

Keywords: {0}

I always say I don’t care what people think of me so why am I so concerned with my weight and how I look. But I read something today about the shame that women feel about their bodies, despite the absolute fucking slog they go through every day of their lives. It made me think – I’m probably right when I say I don’t really care what other people think but maybe I care what I think and maybe that is shame. Do I feel ashamed because I’m “fatter” than most people around me? Do I feel ashamed because my stomach that was home to two beautiful babies for 9 months (absolutely fucking huge babies might I add) isn’t flat? I mean it isn’t even round, I don’t know what shape it is! Do I feel ashamed that I weigh more than my partner? Do I feel ashamed when I eat something “bad”?

I want to understand the abuse and trauma from their point of view and forgive it from my point of view

I just need one sentence to describe my family. They all need to go to therapy. In between all the showers of love and adoration I received in my childhood, there was a lot of their self-baggage inflicted upon me. It led to years of unintended abuse, trauma and neglect from their part. It started to build my anxiety and depression.

I’m not necessarily the same person that I was when I was 18 and I want my content and image to reflect that

University felt a bit like a transitional period from teenager to adult and now I feel like I have nothing to hide behind now even though I still don’t want to be an adult. I was having so many existential crises over where I should be living and working whilst actively trying to avoid making a decision about any long-term plans. I contemplated moving to Glasgow, switching jobs, taking online courses and started looking at masters programmes because without the student lifestyle, I lost my way quite a bit. However, it’s evident from talking to me or reading my dissertation, that Edinburgh is a huge part of my identity and giving it up by moving away wasn’t going to be the cure that I thought it would be. Instead, I moved to a different part of the city, the West End, switched to a full-time role at my job and started taking myself out on dates again.

I wanted to have a casual conversation like how I would do it with a friend and tell you how I am managing things, is it difficult for me, am I liking it, etc.

The blog about the same will also go up tomorrow, which I am so excited for. In fact, I was not going to post anything today but I would be lying if I say that I am not addicted to sharing every little detail of my life with you all through my blogs. Honestly, I just want to be as transparent as I can because the genuine exchange of energy is working well for me, my blog and my mental health.

I wanted to make the most of my University experience, not just in my studies, but also in the friendships I had made

Keywords: {0}

This phase of my life was when I started to realise that I’d changed so much in a short period of time, it was crazy. Before University, I didn’t go out very much and I had quite a small circle of friends, I also didn’t have very much confidence and my mental health wasn’t doing great. But after just a few months at University, I really started to notice changes, I was truly happy and felt like I had found somewhere that I belonged, I didn’t feel judged and felt included within my friendship groups, allowing my confidence to shine through and help me to become the best version of myself, this was the life I had always longed for. So to any current or future students reading this, be yourself and your confidence will shine through, this can feel different and scary to begin with, but as students we need to recognise that change can be good!

I want to taste everything the world has to offer

And as well as the space in my schedule, it also gave me space in my mind. With a little thought and a lot of help, it has highlighted what I truly want in all aspects of my life – my career, my hobbies, my friendships. I am exploring avenues I never have before with genuine excitement. I am realising that if I can work out what it is I want, then it is in my control to make the changes to work towards that. And the time is always now.

I want to grow into the best version of myself. And I can feel myself inching my way there. Wherever you are in your journey: it’s okay. And it’s okay to take a break.

I want to share what I go through on a day to day basis so others will be able to see that there is no shame in having a mental illness and that you can live your life

I also want to be able to show those that are not struggling what it is like so that they can have a better understanding of us. I want to break the stigma.
