Hello world!
Hello world! I have decided to change the topic of my blog. If before it was focused on me trying to write poetry, now it will be focused on my direct experiences around topics of mental wellbeing. Why? As I am affected by a mental illness, namely depression, I would like to be useful and […]

Grandma died
Grandma died peacefully during her sleep. I am going to her funeral today. My mum said she doesn’t have any more reason to live. I pointed out I’m here. She said I am abroad so it does not count. I felt pain. She will never change. Image credits

The nightmare goes on
Tonight to go to a place in which we celebrate my best friend’s birthday I had to pass in front of the house in which the person who touched me when I was little lives. I talk about that trauma in this post. It happened in that house. I almost cried, but I didn’t. I […]

I was asked how I am always happy
The other day my housemate asked me how I manage to be always happy. I was about to say “well you don’t know me”. Which is what I would usually say when someone commented on my happiness. But… I realised my housemate in fact has seen me only after my depression recovery. And that is […]

Everything is bleak
It has been a while since I last wrote on here. Thing is, I am lacking of motivation and I cannot find the words to write anything interesting. My life at the moment is great, and I guess that for someone who is used to problems this might result boring. I am not saying I […]

I want to write a book
I would like to write a book about my journey through depression, as now I feel as I learnt to deal with it. The book will be divided in chapters of which a typical question by a psychologist, such as “how about your parents?” is the name of the chapter and the answer is the […]
