Anyone who has been following my little internet space will know that my main inspiration for writing is my experience with Schizophrenia. I have a rare form of the illness, so when I google’d it right when I first started my recovery I found little if anything that I could directly relate to. Although my writing helps me to process what I am going through, I like to think that one day it may help someone who is going through the same thing I did. Continue reading “Schizophrenia update”

So this all started out as a four week trial, to see if it helped with the stomach aches I was getting- and after just the first two weeks, it really helped! I mentioned this to the Doc to see what it could mean and what the next steps would be, and he has said that I’m showing classic signs of being lactose intolerant.  Continue reading “Dairy Free- Week 3+4”

I’m one of those that comes up with big elaborate ideas of how I want my room to be. Living with my parents, I only have the one room which is ‘mine’- which I can do whatever I want with. My parents have always been happy for me to redo my room pretty much whenever I want, with it being redecorated many many times. However this is the first time I was paying for all the changes, so I felt very few restrictions, and could have it how I really wanted it.

Well this is a bit late, but better late than never…

So, as planned, this month went rather well! Though I’ve had to adapt for the new dairy free diet, as mentioned in a previous post, but that has actually given me a new boost to really try with it.  Continue reading “January Weight Update..”

When I first saw the psychiatrists about my psychotic break, we were told that we should expect a three year recovery. Since then I’ve now been diagnosed with Schizophrenia, and sixteen months on I’m working way ahead of that three year schedule. Yet somehow, this isn’t fast enough…

It has been a bit harder this week, my mum baked a banana and chocolate cake which smelled delicious- but of course I couldn’t have any. Plus I did forget one time, getting a Galaxy chocolate bar from the supermarket! Sadly didn’t realise till afterwards, so did have a stomach ache after; but here is some of the tricks and gorgeous foods I’ve had.

I have had the great pleasure of being nominated for the Liebster Award by the lovely OneDizzyBee. Although I am sorry that I’ve been a little, and by that I mean a lot, late to doing this post; but have had a lot going on so couldn’t be avoided.  Continue reading “Liebster Award from OneDizzyBee”

For as long as I can remember I’ve really want to take my education through to degree level. After having to leave college because of mental health, I have to admit I began to doubt whether I would be able to do this. However as previously mentioned on another post, I found I really missed studying so started my OU degree.  Continue reading “Start of my OU Journey”

As many of you are most probably aware, I have been having issues with my stomach- despite being treated for gastritis; it was suggested to me that it could all be being caused by a milk allergy. Therefore I have made the decision to do 4 weeks dairy free to see if my symptoms improve… Continue reading “4 weeks Dairy Free- Week 1”
