Its not easy to do

Especially when since I was 19 I have either been in a relationship or married. I lived with my current boyfriend for five years. But his smoking was beginning to play havoc with my asthma. I smoked for a while too when we got back together but I... See More »

When I was 19 I fell for a 25 yo guy he was your typical bad boy drugs and alcohol. I did a few with him too I rebelled against strict parents. But I never ever injected anything. Six years later he started to inject amphetamine sulphate. He changed... See More »

It annoys me when doctors are late

My neurologist is currently 45 minutes late for a telephone consultation. I hate waiting as it flares up my anxiety. What is the point in having an appointment time atal if they aren't going to call then. I can accept 15minutes but this is... See More »

My boyfriend is having surgery tommorow

He is having a below knee amputation due to having gangrene in his foot. Years of smoking and being an ex intravenous drug user have not helped his health. I'm scared and pray that everything goes well for him.

Whilst I do love looking after my partner it sure is hard work. Trying to juggle looking after the home, cooking and cleaning, shopping and hospital appointments is a full time job. But for love I can do this.

Having a go at abstract art

My boyfriend was having surgery today so I tried some abstract art.

Breaking down negative thought processes- a coping strategy

After studying lots of self help books and journaling about my feelings I began to see a pattern with my thoughts. I broke them down in to categories. And added a coping strategy:- Worry thoughts eg 'oh no an appt' 1) recognise- identify that I am... See More »

When you or your partner is ill

You then really find out who cares. My partner is in hospital and when I called my Mum she made excuses not to visit. Apparently my sister needs her to go to an appointment. When I told her I was going last week she made this noise that told me she... See More »

It drives me nuts!! I only had an appointment with the asthma nurse at the doctors. But my anxiety showed up coz the last one I saw wasn't very nice to me. But I still went and this one was really nice. Hence I was wrong to be anxious as usual! I... See More »

Zentangle and colouring

I could really do with a friend to talk to

Someone who understands what its like to care for a partner who is sick. Or someone who understands anxiety, depression or loneliness.

The worst thing is boredom

I have anxiety and depression and I find boredom makes it worse. So I have to keep myself occupied all day. But some days I'm so anxious I feel kind of stuck and I just sit doing nothing. Because I find it hard to focus on anything. Sometimes I have... See More »

I enjoyed colouring this one

It's nice to have my faith mixed with my hobby.

Trying markers for the first time.

The markers were a gift from my boyfriend. The book the picture is from is called psychedelic colouring. I liked using the markers as they gave nice vibrant results.

This is the art journal I made.

Art for anxiety

I have a hospital appointment tomorrow and I have to go alone. My anxiety is bad so I made this.

Here is my latest art piece. I scribbled down all my thoughts and feelings and then put the drawing/colouring over the top.

Worst christmas ever!

It was all going ok until my Nan died on rhe 28th December. Now christmas will never be the same.

My Nan just passed away

The worst thing is she had dementia before hand for a few years. So it had felt like I lost her a long time ago. My Dad didn't have dementia but he lost his mind before he died. He didn't know who he was nor could he talk. That was only five years... See More »

My first artist trading card

Her name is Bobble she is watercolour on an acrylic background and her hair and the cross motif on her dress are stitched with embroidery thread.

My art piece on anxiety

I'm curating my collection.

I have too many books on my shelves and no space for more shelves. So I have decided to give some to charity. They are all in really good condition. So should bring someone joy. I have decided that I just don't knit and crochet much. Plus I solely... See More »
