Mental Health a visual analogy


Today I came across this visual analogy on Facebook. 
It explains how Depression is like hoarding, our head is our home. 
See, and it's so true. 
Some people have a neat organised mind/house, some people, like me, are more eclectic in our storage. 
Multiple events happening can often topple my organised chaos over. 
I have debt, that I bury my head in the sand about (I know I need to sort it) but that hole in the sand is comforting...
Recently I have asked for HELP. 
My facade has fallen and the cracks now show to the outside! 
The pills I take no longer work on their own. I knew this time would come. 
I'm still struggling, but not so much on my own. 
Though sometimes I need just me space, people find that difficult to understand.  They worry (which is fair) I have thought bad thoughts (self harm, worthlessness and self-hate). I'm pragmatic enough to not do anything.

Holiday

My first ever abroad holiday. Yes I've gotten to the grand old age of 53 before I've planted my feet on foreign soil.  My flight was to Portugal, and my partner of 3 years was coming too. Unfortunately he's had a crisis and called off. That's fine I'm going anyway...  First flight omg brilliant, loved it.  And here I am , but it's raining. Will I let it spoil my experience? No chance in h***! Food, drink and cats today. What will tomorrow lead to. Let's wait and see.

It is 6.18am I can't sleep well at the moment. Why? you ask... Well because in a little less a month I have to attend court! yes again. This time may if I'm lucky be one of the last, the run up to the end. Also I have an appointment to attend a clinical phycologist, today! But your not crazy... well lol some people may say I am ..... No it is so I can sort out my head, my feeling of guilt and uselessness, return my head to what is normal (is there a normal .. we shall see!) But back to the matter of court. A whole day is allotted for this as this is the day I have to stand up for myself in court, prove that my husband was a bully, control freak, abuser and quite a few other words I won't say on here as they are rude.... apart from COWARD ! He has the right to ask his 'barrister' to cross examine me! To provide verbal proof of the mental abuse I have suffered for years, the physical and mental abuse my children have suffered for years... Now your thinking surely ther...

Done over

After travelling to pick up my daughter from my sister's, as she had been staying there for half of the summer holidays. To give her something to do and help entertain my sister's kids (as they had just moved from Newcastle to Liverpool). All the customary stuff out the way, unpacking (as i decided to stay over a couple of nights), catching up, cuppa's, food etc you know the kind of stuff. Oh even the greeting of the dog, who by the way always goes mad to see us..... Well children in bed, we chatting, as you do and about half hour after midnight my Bro-in-Law takes the dog out for her last walk before we all go to bed..... Pretty normal yes hang on I'm getting there.... Well 5 min possibly less later he comes back in 'come outside' he says to me, 'and bring your keys' OMG i thought whats happened. So i do as i'm asked and go outside, to find some little Scouser has only gone and smashed my rear windscreen! Did they try and take anything? NO! Did they...
