    1 Year Anniversary

    It was actually this time last year I was sectioned into a psychiatric hospital. The Ukraine war had really scared me and I started watching BBC News too much. I couldn’t sleep so was going into the lounge to watch more News. My drop in concentration meant I missed my medication. I believe coming off…

  • Walks and Social Scripts

    Walks and Social Scripts

    I’m finding I’m relaxing more during these walks. Taking in the air and appreciating the quietness between the roads. It’s nice to see a few dogs too. One thing I have noticed with my mind that I am able to articulate now is a sense of social panic and continued preparation. My mind often conjures…

  • Easter Planning

    Easter Planning

    Last year I spent Christmas alone as I have most years since my mother died in 2016. After being homeless last year, I welcomed Christmas day as a day to treat myself. I usually just eat my dinner on my lap from my bed watching Star Trek. For Christmas I bought a small foldable table…

  • Green Shoots

    Green Shoots

    Recently I have been sowing all kinds of seeds in pots to grow vegetables this Summer. What I am trying to grow can be found in this initial blog here. I don’t have much experience in gardening. To be honest I wouldn’t say I have a serious interest. I like to watch plants grow especially…

  • Empires

    Empires

    The Roman empire after Christs death, ruled most of Western Europe and the Middle east. To spread fear in the population, many dissidents such as slaves were sent to ‘The Games’ where they were killed by wild animals like Lions for entertainment. Many of these dissidents were people that believed in the teachings of Christ.…

    6 Months Homed

    I feel so on top of things now, it is bliss. So much of last year has been limbo from homelessness, sorting out this new home but at the same time being patient in getting there and now I have the cherry on top with my garden ready to grow some vegetables this spring/summer. It’s…

  • Grateful But Fearful

    Grateful But Fearful

    I spent so much time last year homeless, dreaming of a future where I would have use of my own kitchen and bathroom. Having a bedroom where I could chill out with Star Trek. I sit here now happily with a cup of tea listening to white noise from the Enterprise appreciating this. This Spring/Summer…

  • Starting Gardening

    Starting Gardening

    A bonus of moving into my one bedroom flat in September is it has a small garden. As Spring is approaching I have bought a few medium pots and large fabric pots. I have drilled holes into the medium pots for drainage and then filled the pots with compost. After a few days of filling…

  • Walking Thoughts

    Walking Thoughts

    Just came back from a long walk. Felt very sluggish this morning. Once again it’s the medication but not as bad as it was. Though I get a lot less agitated than I used which is nice. I feel like I could settle with a little life like this if things remain as they are.…
