Why now ?

Welcome and Introduction


Hello and Welcome to my blog. It may surprise you to find that me and you are pretty similar. Okay not in looks wise but in lifestyle wise. We both like takeaways, probably spill food everywhere, love sleep and eat beans with mayo in. Which is what some of the posts may contain!

Okay maybe the beans one is just me but we can’t be similar on every single way. Anyway moving swiftly on welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy it. 


Some of you may ask: What’s your blog about?
Some of you may ask: (or as I say arks) Why now?


Well there is no simple answer to either of these questions. My blog unlike many won’t just be about one certain topic. I am going to document my life as a whole, it’ll be a sort of diary and it will help me offload which may even help my anxiety. 

  • Posts I will be definitely be putting up will be about Mental Health as I my self have anxiety and depression. 
  • But some of the other posts will be about what I like to do, 
  • What my hobbies are 
  • Anything relevant to current issues (so I could be waffling about anything to be honest).
  • Some post’s may be about something that’s happening in current affairs, which I feel strong or passionate about. I am quite well known for my controversial views.
started my blog now because it just felt right to open up about my life and struggles of Mental Health. The last two or three months have really set me back with anxiety, possibly due to the Covid-19 and lockdown. I took a month off work due to stress and anxiety and went to hospital and had consultations on the phone with doctors, who decided to change my tablets from Citalopram to Sertraline. I then got myself a counsellor and since then I have been more open about my health as it’s nothing to be ashamed of.  Because I have been more open about my issues, I got invited into a group on Facebook for mental health who help anyone feeling low and are campaigning to raise more awareness and for more government research into Mental Health. By being in this group I have spoken to so many people who are struggling and I too have had people help me. So I am hoping I can give some tips or advice on how am I dealing with my health and maybe you can share some advice too.
