If you’re a regular participant, you might have noticed that I haven’t been able to make time to join in my own linkups for the past two months! Life has been fraught with stressors of all sorts. A bit of a vicious cycle as one thing always leads to another; a general rule of life. […]

Trying to Stabilise Anxiety & Depression I’ve been feeling out of sorts of late, that’s for sure. My emotions are chaotic and all over the place, as I’m seized by anxiety and depression simultaneously. I had backslid to my suicidal ideation state, so I knew I had to call my psychiatrist asap.

Welcome to the September Linkup. I know it hasn’t been a pleasant year for most of us, but still I’d like to usher the start of the beautiful Autumn season in with love. It’s always so beautiful and whilst I live in the tropics, I miss the mild seasonal changes in Hong Kong when I […]
