The importance of self-care is paramount; enhance your health and wellbeing, manage your stress, and maintain control under pressure.
Finally Free
My body weak and my mind reeling, I fell to the ground. It was cold and damp, almost instantly seeping into my bones. The air smelled sweet. I gulped and swallowed and took as many deep breaths as I could. Fresh air flooding my senses, I closed my eyes and reveled in it for a moment.

Releasing The Idea Of Stability
As the warm days move towards the darker season ahead, I find myself becoming sad. Sad that the days will no longer be beaconing me to go outside, shoes off, sitting next to a tree, barefoot and enjoying the sun's warmth on my body. This past year has been very challenging for many, however, it has been a blessing in disguise for me.

Disguised
Almost 2 years ago, she yearned for love . Coming out of something more than toxic . Abuse , pain , confusion, it was all a wreck. You ever wish you could get a slight preview of what you’re getting yourself into before actually getting into it ? Yeah .. that was her. In fact she’d scroll her page , Oh ! And yes I mean her , she loved women , just as much as women claimed they love her. Continuing on , she’d scroll her page and view her past , past as in others before her , what she likes , what she’s into just everything anyone would want to know about someone they had their interest in . She was pretty cool . Her name was Alice . See Alice loves social media , she love making people laugh and just notice her , and what she could do. She as in Porcha realized Alice pain , no attention, past trauma and so on but there wasn’t anything Porcha could not fix .

I Accepted my BPD with a Tattoo.
I’m doomed. I should leave. How far can one go with £34 in the bank? These were my diary entries on the night I googled Borderline personality disorder. It had been a difficult year. I was 24, living in London and heartbroken. I had this gorgeous creature, who said he loved me and wanted to build a future with me at his side. Something, inside me, convinced me he was lying. An intense fear that he would abandon me engulfed me & I broke his heart by constantly pushing him away. Until that evening, sat down in front of my laptop, typing my fears into Google I’d never had any explanation as to why I was wired to fear a connection.

When life gives you lemons...
There are so many times that I find myself in situations that are so challenging I know that I am going to need a lot of energy. Be that physical energy or mental energy. Whilst using physical energy I get tired and sore muscles but I can see and feel where I spent that energy. Mental energy - now that is a different kettle of fish. Sometimes I don’t realise how much mental energy I am using until the headaches start. I often find that the more I try to “be the hero” and not worry my family, the more mentally exhausted I become. More than just headaches, I start regressing into catastrophizing thinking, which leads to doubting my own knowledge and abilities.

Here's the digital dilemma...
If you’ve felt stressed or anxious during this pandemic, you’re not alone. I’m sure on some level this year has felt a little crazy for all of us and I’m here to shed some light on why that may be. As someone who loves Documentaries and works in the world of social media advertising, I HAD to check out the buzz around The Social Dilemma, and trust me, I wasn’t disappointed. The film sparked conversations with my friends and I about anxiety and how social plays a role by actively tricking and manipulating our behaviors. Good news is, we can 100% change that course and take back our mental health.
