Hold on it does get better!!

Hi lovely people 👋🏼☺️ I just wanted to give a wee update as I haven’t been on in a while. I am so happy to say I’m doing better than I imagined!! Still on the 45mg mirtazapine but I didn’t start the quitiapine, I decided to make a few lifestyle changes and the results are brilliant!! I have always been overweight but I turned 40 in January and I tell you it was scary it’s like I became very aware of the downward spiral I was in! So I started gradually by saying ok what can you change? I was never one for eating even though I’m overweight so I started with a small tangerine for breakfast as it’s really hard for me to eat until late pm!! I walked twice a day just slow but now I power walk every morning then a slow walk in afternoon. I noticed changes in my mood almost right away!! I have poly cystic ovaries so weight loss is a bit more difficult but I gave up my 2/4 litres of full fat cola for water even though I always said I could never do it!! I’m eating 3 times a day even if it’s only a bit of fruit in morning and afternoon, I want to tell you all if I can do this you can!! Read my posts you will see where I was not so long ago. I promise you will see differences even if only small to start, I still keep a diary and last night I was reading back and it wasn’t pleasant!! BUT these are all things I can change I know I will always have my G.A.D etc but I can tell you I’ve had zero attacks/zero sleepless nights/zero catastrophic thoughts and all the nasty things that come with mental health have been kept in the diary!! I take a multivitamin and a B12 tablet every morning which I feel has played a big part in my well-being. Make that small change today just 1 break old habits!! I’m still unfortunately smoking but I’m not superwoman so I will try deal with that in time but please know your worth I used to think so little of myself I am kinder to myself now and we can be our own worst critics but please believe me the light at the end of the tunnel is there it is real so let’s not run towards it but maybe pick up the pace and walk a little faster to it ❤️
