Sometimes when you feel like you don’t matter, the kindness of strangers can make you realise that you are having more of an impact than you could have ever realised.

To the people who message me with kindness and care, to check in to see how I am, even though you don’t know me, or the people who have chosen to share your story with me because something I have said has resonated, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you.

From the bottom of my heart you have all helped me get through the worst time of my life.

I may not reply to everyone but I see you and I read your messages and it warms my heart and honestly is getting me through daily.

This little community that I have built by complete accident means everything.

Thank you for laughing with me through the pain and for seeing the pain behind the smile. I owe you all everything!

Lots of love

I’ve been using the gym a lot more lately to let out some of the emotions that have been building inside me.

My go to would usually be to wallow in self pity but instead I’ve been taking my anger out on the heavy weights at the gym.

I have achieved 6 personal bests in the last two days alone.

So if you’re angry at the world I highly recommend channeling that energy into weights.

I’m not ashamed to admit I cried on the way to the gym and now I’m feeling strong and empowered again.

10/10 recommend. This is better than any antidepressant on the market!
