Well I’m going to start with some very nice stuff that has been happening. For 1, I have completed my dissertation and it is currently being marked. I am so grateful for all the understanding and support that the University has given me, in particular to the lecturers Richard and John for their unwavering support.
I have been to Germany to spend time with my friends and celebrate Pia’s Jurgendweihe (consecration). It was a lovely trip, where me and Seb travelled on our own due to Isaac having his GCSE exams.
I also got to spend some time with Gill and Sam, who took me to my first ever Rugby game. I have to say it was really nice time. We had a great view and sat near the pitch. After the game we got to go into the pitch and meet the players. Sam loved this.
And just to balance the joy and happiness out I had a Bipolar Episode. I had been walking around Elvaston park with some work friends and felt absolutely fantastic. Honestly I couldn’t have been more relaxed.
But this all changed when I got home. I felt a dark mood and a lowness descending on me. I was super angry and depressed but I don’t know why. During the lowness I lost track of reality and was convinced things were happening that weren’t. It was scary and to my knowledge this is only the second time I have experienced this – although Linda thinks it’s 3 times.
So here I am, at home feeling pretty rubbish. My mood is up and down and I am waiting to hear back from my PDoc. Pants!
