Solo mental health check-in

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

-------------------

Hello loves.

I decided to record a solo one this week just cos I have caught myself feeling happier lately and think I should put that into context for anyone struggling at the moment, having been seriously depressed earlier in the year myself. I hope it helps some of you to hear someone wanging on about recovery and stuff. All I can say is, whoever you are, I care, we care and other people very probably care too so whatever you are going through don't go through it alone- And I hope you take this episode as actual evidence that even the very dark times can and WILL pass, often in just a few eggy months. After which you will not recognise what your brain was bowling at you when it was poorly. If I can do it, so can you baby.


Going to put the tune at the end up on it's own and maybe a couple of others if that is of interest as wee bonus bits.


Also the 'Childs Game' conversation from Matt's pod is coming later as a cheery Brucie Bonus after this more serious episode.


Big love

Lady Maam'alade


PS - I have uploaded a photo of the symptoms 'diary' I made as I tried to get through the month I was told was still to go with major withdrawal symptoms- It really helped being able tick it off every night without having to remember it all again. I just picked up the pad at teatime and ticked or crossed how the last day had been until after a month I could see I was sleeping and eating better and doing okay.
