Of health and Hospitals.
You may remember me hurting my back earlier in the year. Clumsy me tipped over on the computer chair leaving me with a sore spine as well as muscle and tissue damage. I had months of physio. It had been going well, i’d hurt it every now and then, but after some rest, it would get better. I threw it out again on Thursday, and could harldy walk by Saturday. I was super bummed because I was all set and ready to go to the Curvy Clothing Swap. Fast forward, pain + pain killers + a large dose of sedatives, which I later found out were out of date, landed me in…

Mental Health
People who follow me on twitter may notice I go through periods of depression. I can get quite emotional and ranty. I thought I’d take a moment to try and explain this, delve into my head a little. *warning* The following will deal with Mental Health, and possably some touchy subjects. I’ve always had problems, though, most of them never got picked up later in life when I started showing more symptoms. My first trip into Counselling was when I was in Year 3 of school. Bullying & hard school work had me put into hospital with stress, and then as an outpatient RedBank House. I don’t remember much about it…
