Are You Afraid of the Dark?

March 20, 2018 by Sabrina in Mental Health

When you are dealing with anxiety somedays you may wake up with a fundamental unease which you can neither interpret or resolve, but it feels as real as if you were standing on the edge of a cliff.

Crazy, Stupid, Love

March 08, 2018 by Sabrina in Mental Health

As I may have mentioned once or seventeen times recently, I am getting married in May.  As excited as I am to continue my life with my fiance, I am conscious of, & on my bad days, feel quite guilty about the extra love, stability & support he has to provide when I am feeling low.

March 04, 2018 by Sabrina in Mental Health, Fitness

Not only is your day supposed to be Instagram interiors perfect, but as the bride, you are to look your most radiant & happy.  Radiant & happy, sounds great in theory right? Look a little closer though & they are both just synonyms for thin as far as the wedding money machine is concerned.

Anxiety can make you feel exposed to the world. Your rawest & most vulnerable parts of yourself amplified for the world to see. On Sunday evenings I always sit & do my nails, a face mask & my hair. It might be vanity, it might be self care, it might be armour. But When I take time over my appearance I feel stronger & braver, that the cracks that are so often obvious to me won’t show. Put on a brave face or fake it till you make it, It’s all the same rationale. If I look calm & collected it often will replicate under the surface to. Does anyone else feel that a great face of make up or a put together outfit makes it easier for them to face the world? . . . #sunday #selfcaresunday #selfcare #makeup #beauty #wellbeing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #rest #recovery #anxiety #socialanxiety #lookafteryourself #brave Somedays only a cat hug will do. This has been quite an emotionally stressful week & I have felt like a raw nerve, reacting with hyper sensitivity to nearly everything, most things that didn’t require it. There is an important distinction between knowing the times to take a deep breath, hold your head high & persevere & then those where a little dressing gown/sofa time is the healthy, kind thing to do. You don’t have to fight through everything. This weekend I will mainly be convincing the cat to show me some affection & healing the relationships I have spent the week picking apart. Wishing you all a restful couple of days off. . . . #weekend #saturday #caturday #catsofinstagram #rest #relaxation #selfcare #kindness #wellbeing #health #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #stress #worry #mindfulness #takecare #tbt to our engagement party.
