Mental Health, Round-up posts

A roundup of my mental health-related posts so far

, 13 Comments

I thought it was time to share my mental health-related posts so far.

As I started this blog due to a decline in my mental health and because I wanted to help other people. I thought it was a good time to reflect on the mental health-related topics I have covered so far.

Final thoughts

I still feel incredibly privileged to be speaking about my journey and receiving feedback about the fact this is helping other people. It makes my heart smile.

I’ve saved some of the amazing feedback I’ve received. The reason for saving it is because I feel overjoyed at the incredible support I’ve received from the blogging community. THANK YOU, FELLOW BLOGGERS.

Honestly, the Twitter blogging community have kept me going during tough times and I am thankful to be part of such an amazing group of people. Shall we share some more love??

Blogtober, Round-up posts

A look back on how far I got with the blogtober challenge

, 25 Comments

I recently decided to stop the blogtober challenge. However, I wanted to look back at the posts I created, published, and promoted.

Following the blogtober challenge, I am particularly proud of the mental health-related topics I released. I will be honest and confess I was unsure about releasing some of them. But I decided to be brutally honest and share the reality of mental illness. I hope it helps other people.

All the lovely comments and feedback on my posts have spurred me on to continue to ensure my blog thrives. I am now ready to tackle some of the other goals I have and work on bigger projects. I am also starting to see the results of my hard work.

Reflecting on the goals I’ve achieved this month

To add some context regarding my blogging journey so far, I released my first post on 12 August 2021.

I found my feet in September 2021 and worked very hard to spread the word about my blog. I then decided to turn my half-written blog posts into the blogtober challenge.

The challenge meant I was busy. It was fast-paced and involved a lot of late nights and early mornings. However, it taught me I am able to maintain quality but also keep up with my goals. It just involves hard work and determination.

All the lovely comments and feedback on my posts have spurred me on to continue to ensure my blog thrives. I am now ready to tackle some of the other goals I have and work on bigger projects. I am also starting to see the results of my hard work.

I now have confidence I am able to break down the next project into manageable sections and complete it.

Final thoughts…

I hope you’re all having a wonderful October.

This time of year is so magical. Cold weather setting in, Halloween fun, and the lead-up to Christmas.

After the constraints we’ve faced over the past few years, I wish you all the fun this season has to offer.

Let me know what you have planned in the comments below.

My September round-up post

, 18 Comments

Welcome along to my first round-up post! It’s a little late, as we are a few days into October, but I still wanted to reflect on the previous month and set my goals for October.

My personal progress

I’ve been through a lot in my personal life over the course of starting the blog and definitely had an interesting journey with my mental health. A lot of bumps in the road. You can read more about my mental health struggles here.

I am proud of how far I’ve come in less than two months and it’s time to acknowledge my first full calendar month of blogging.

round-up post

How it all began

I released my first blog post on 12 August 2021. Prior to this, there was a lot of research, writing, and quickly learning a lot of technical elements, which isn’t my strong point. I am proud of how far I’ve come in less than two months and it’s time to acknowledge my first full calendar month of blogging.

September 2021 blog posts

It wouldn’t be a round-up post without a look back at last month. I release 7 posts in total, which I am proud of.

The things I love most about the upcoming autumn season

I released this post on 8 September 2021 in the lead-up to our holiday, because I was excited about it. Some context here, about four months ago due to my breakdown, I couldn’t even talk about booking a holiday, let alone become excited. Writing this was a huge step in my recovery.
