The worst feeling in the world…
I have recently been involved in a research project about attitudes towards mental health and the results were both surprising and interesting. Although there generally appears to be more awareness of mental health and more understanding it would also appear that we still have a long way to go. Too many people still feel uncomfortable… Continue reading The worst feeling in the world…
Taking control…
I have often thought that people find it easy to make decisions and take control of their own life but without asking everybody I don’t actually know. I know that generally speaking I am an indecisive person (although I am getting better at being more decisive) and hate making decisions especially when they are not… Continue reading Taking control…
A sense of belonging…
Not long ago I wrote a blog about religion and how I associated it with a sense of community and belonging and that this is something I have always craved but never felt. I also spoke about how I have struggled with religion throughout my life because of the negative aspects that are portrayed in… Continue reading A sense of belonging…
Surrogacy part 14…
After the miscarriage we decided as a team to continue trying again straight away. I knew I would find it emotionally hard whenever I tried again so thought putting off tries would only make it harder. So we tried again and this time I had a very different mental attitude towards it, obviously I still… Continue reading Surrogacy part 14…
The best things happen unexpectedly…
I remember a few months ago my friend trying to encourage me to give online dating another go despite my reservations about it, and I was adamant I wasn’t going to. However, curiosity got the better of me and so I decided to join just to have a look, but my heart wasn’t really in… Continue reading The best things happen unexpectedly…
Queer Freedom…
I rarely listen to podcasts, but I have just listened to Queer Freedom: How can we be both held and free? by Glennon Doyle after it was recommended to me. I would definitely say it is worth listening to. It is about having faith and being gay, something that is still contentious even in 2022.… Continue reading Queer Freedom…
Surrogacy part 13…
It has been a few weeks since I had a miscarriage now and partly it feels surreal, yet every known again I have had a moment of feeling emotional and sad. I didn’t expect it to affect me so much and I thought I’d be right as rain after a few days. Fortunately, I am… Continue reading Surrogacy part 13…
Our Inner Child…
I recently read an article that really resonated with me. I love how both my girls are brutally honest and say it how it is. They say what is in their head without questioning themselves and without any filters that seem to be ingrained in us at some point in our lives. In a way… Continue reading Our Inner Child…
Kindness makes the world go round…
I have been incredibly touched by all the love and kindness that I have received since having my miscarriage. I never expected so many messages of love and support which despite making me tearful also made a heart-breaking experience more bearable. It goes to show how much difference people can make to our lives and… Continue reading Kindness makes the world go round…
Surrogacy part 12…
So, the past few weeks have certainly felt like a rollercoaster ride. After our 1st go at trying to conceive, I spent the following 10 days thinking about nothing else and analysing how I was feeling to the point where I drove myself bonkers! I kept reading about early symptoms and when was the earliest… Continue reading Surrogacy part 12…
