Heartbreak & Mental Health
Heartbreak sucks. There isn’t a really nice way to put it. It is utterly devastating and even though you aren’t actually injured in any way, you are in a world of pain. It’s also amazing the amount of ways heartbreak can come about. Death. A break up. The realisation that a dream won’t come true. It can come from a family member, a friend, a lover, even an animal. Having BPD means a heightened sense of emotions, what may feel like an 4 for most people will be a 9 on my scale of things. I’ve learnt over the years to be hyper aware of my emotions, to try and ground them…

Things I need to remember…
I’m only human. Sometimes you can push yourself, your body, too far. You can’t control everything & that’s probably a good thing. Sometimes, you need to let go. It may hurt, but it may also heal. Choose wisely, because while you need to let some things go, you may also need to fight for what you want. Be patient. Never lose hope. Stay true to yourself. You ARE worth it. What are some things you need to remember? Is there something else I should add to my list?

It also seems I lost any luck I had on the way home from the airport. It’s lots of little things. Misplacing my keycard. Slipping over at the shops, actually, I can’t even list the amount of silly ways I’ve hurt myself. From slamming my hand down on the corner of a chair, to having a giant slab of ice fly off from my freezer and hit me in the face. The little things build up, and they get to…

Breaking out of my comfort zone.
Neysha and I trying on sunglasses at Sportsgirl. Me about to try Max Brenner for the first time. Images by Neysha. Doing things that are out of your comfort zones is hard. Myself, I’m not so good at doing things by myself. I can be quite self conscious and anxious. I can’t catch a bus in Sydney, I can do it if I’m with a friend, but by myself, nope, can’t step on one. I can catch a train in Sydney most days though. It’s frustrating to say the least, it’s something that so many people take for granted, but for me, it’s something that I just can’t do, when I…

Wassup!?
Life is just weird. I can’t really describe how I’m feeling about it at the moment, so here is a list form of some things that has been happening as of late. – Being super super amazingly excited about The Hobbit. Watching the red carpet premiere online and being very emotional. I may have cried. Then being frustrated because Australia isn’t releasing it until boxing day. WHAT! I was even considering flying over to New Zealand on the 13th for a midnight screening… if I won the lottery. – Babysitting my youngest niece & nephew. Watching them play on the awesome play equipment and wishing I could get on and play with…
