PART ONE! I’ve been AWOL for sometime but I thought I’d give some kind of update on my life since 2021 to now.
In September 2021 my mom go diagnosed with bladder cancer. Big shock which has affected all of my family. Shortly after that I started working as a Nanny to support myself and my mother. In February my cat sadly passed away in surgery and I was bless with a kitten in the April. In August of 2022 my mom sadly died, I had become her carer and left my job, she went into hospital in July of that year and came out of hospital three days before she died surrounded by my kitten and my aunty. This came as an unexpected shock to me and everyone around me, I thought it was my fault that I did something wrong or mixed up her medication however I realise that the cancer had truly been vicious as it had spread and spread despite countless treatment.
I moved in with my cousins shortly after this and battled many things that came my way, my mental health, my families opinions on my life. I had breakdowns I was truly a mess. My last big breakdown was in February of 2023 and was a never ending cycle of being high on life and depressed, where I did a few things I’m not proud of, as well as getting onto weed, which I would smoke six times a day there was never a moment I wasn’t high but still the breakdowns continued.
In April I’d met up with a friend I met through another close friend of mine a month prior and he invited me clubbing. That night I met my boyfriend as he was also invited but neither of us knew. We hit it off immediately and started this wonderful relationship. He became my light at the end of the tunnel. He’s a musician, a guitar player mainly. After this night however a few days after I had a massive depressive episode, and wanted to not be here anymore but my cousin helped me and I finally got out of bed that morning after wanting to end it all.
