Hey everyone,
I feel like I should be a bit more honest with you all, seeing as there are now 170 odd of you.
Recently, I've been struggling a bit, and by recently, I mean over the past year.
This feel really odd to be writing, but I feel that I am otherwise just coming across as lazy and like I don't care about writing - but I really do.
If you read any of my poetry, you can probably deduce that I suffer from mental illness, but think of this message as confirmation.
I suffer from depression and anxiety, alongside self-harm, suicidal thoughts and paranoia.
As you can probably then tell, it makes doing stuff, even thing I enjoy like writing, really difficult to get motivated for, and I am incredibly critical of everything I do.
I'm not writing this for pity point or sympathy, but more so that we can be on the same page (haha, punny).
I am really trying to update more and write more, because you all honestly deserve it.
I guess what I'm really trying to say in this wordy mess is just a massive THANK YOU!
Thank you for staying with me, supporting me and just being wonderful.
Hopefully, I will kick mental illnesses' arse, and be back on my feet soon.
Thanks,
Heather xx
