It’s a realisation that recovery is actually always being aware of ” where not to go” and to “keep on the straight and narrow” never deviate from what makes you feel good/ comfortable. If you give in to the easier path of: a little drink or do what’s better for someone else, then you start […]
It’s been a long while since my last post. Things have got back to “normal” ( nearly) I am back running my business, it’s been nearly a year now. I have set new rules to safe guard me and my mental health. Only working 9-5 weekdays. NO weekends. Not answering the phone at the weekend […]
It’s different for everyone and I can’t speak for others just for myself. To me it’s not just feeling sad or low. It is like a hangover that never seems to end. Waking up is the worst part as you know you have to go through it again. The super tired heavy eyes, the hour […]
Finally the day came to talk to other mental health sufferers about my experience/journey and how I am now back at work and doing well. It was a small group that have been out of work or have not worked for the whole life. I was told they are not very talkative and would say […]
Today I had a visit from my CPN. I have one every month at the moment. We were half way through and it was decided that I no longer need to see him. Not a big surprise as we have been talking about it for a while. He said he would see my doctor tomorrow […]
The title to this post may seem strange but there is a point ( I think) Since the idea came into my head about 2 months ago to restart my old business ( aerials and satellites ), my recovery has picked up rapidly. Almost like switching on a light! And I am wondering if it’s […]

I totally forgot it was black Friday today! I don’t tend to think straight and put 2 & 2 together properly. It’s as if I have two brains working that never talk to each other. On the one hand I ordered my wife a present on black Friday, I had an email reminder to do […]
Its been a while since I have been on here and thought I would update. I have been doing well in everyone’s eyes including mine. Just going along with everything and doing my best. I have had less ups and downs than of late so I thought things are getting back to how they used […]
Does everyone have internal jibber jabber? I’m not talking a bit here and a bit there but, full on, constant, never ending own voice, various volumes, questioning and doubting, pushy and quite disturbing type? I don’t really remember before my break down but now it is very noticeable. The day to day stuff doesn’t really […]
Life with BDP/eupd
