My boyfriend moved out because his smoking was affecting my asthma. So now I live alone and I get lonely. I've only ever lived alone a couple of times for short periods because i've always been in a relationship. I have hobbies I can do so things to...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Sewing a memory

My Nan passed away 28th December 2022. I wanted to make something as a memory book. I came across Susan Taylor Brown on YouTube and her just because books. I was inspired and I made this book.

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...

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...

I love art and crafts

Today I messed around with my watercolour pencils on some book pages. Then I started to make a background for some tags to put in a junk journal. I'm planning to make one but I need more different bits of paper and ephemera to put inside. So at the...

How the people on the bus are your thoughts analogy has helped me

My previous psychologist used to use the analogy above. She told me to picture my thoughts as people on a bus and I am the driver. This became a running joke in our house that when I was panicking the people were on a very bumpy road. Or being thrown...

Dressing modestly is beautiful

I dress modestly because that's how I feel comfortable and I want men to treat me with respect. When I see other ladies dressing modestly too I think they look stylish and beautiful. Society is too preoccupied with showing too much flesh. When going...
