October 2019 Well who would of thought that I would be diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, I naively thought that was a disorder relating to soldiers so it is ironic that recently I said “call on your army”. I have been struggling to think and at one point couldn’t even bear to have the…

Well it’s been a turbulent couple of months, a turbulence I have dared to rear it’s ugly little head! Mental health warning signs, I am hyper vigilant to them naturally, no one could go through a mental health sectioning experience and not be! ‘Mother knows best’ is so true no one can see what we…
