Abigail's Anxieties

The weekly catch up #4 A week in my life condensed down into one post 17th July-23rd July Before I start this weekly catch up, I just wanted to say that we've made it to one whole month of doing these weekly catch ups which to me is a big deal. Often I lose motivation very easily due to my depression but I glad that this is the one thing I managed to stick with, so YAY!!! Monday- now this Monday, I really needed a day to look after myself and my skin as I had been breaking out a lot due to stresses at home and having good skin always helps me mentally (you can read why  here  in a past post) so I spent my day giving my face a good wash, did a face mask and some others things. But before I was given the chance to start my mini spa day, something else that I had to deal with popped up. Isn't that always the way?  But this was good news, it was the news of my DSA equipment and the fact that I was able to get it delivered THAT WEEK!! I wasn't expectin...

The weekly catch up #2 A week in my life condensed down into one post  3rd July-9th July Monday & Tuesday- I've decided to put Monday and Tuesday together as my week didn't really start until Wednesday.

So all in all, this was the good news we needed at the start of this week. Tuesday was just another day of hanging out with my boyfriend playing video games, and I have to say I'm loving until dawn at the moment. Wednesday- Wednes...

The weekly catch up #1 A week in my life, condensed into one post 26th June- 2nd July Here we are, my first weekly catch up, an ongoing series on my blog where I will write about the week I've had, how events have affected my mental state and what I hope to get done in the next week. It was  Captain  Li Shang that said "let's get down to business", and I suppose I'd better listen to the captain and get on with it. Monday-now Monday was my first proper day of my summer holidays seeing as I had my last A-level exam the Friday before (insert me doing a happy dance here) but it also made me feel a little anxious. You see, I like to have a structure and routine in my life to keep my anxiety under control so I don't have any nasty surprises, but I didn't have the timetable structure of college anymore to do that and I don't start University until September. So...what do I do for those few months? A part of me really wanted to challenge myself and ...
