So exams did finish, a month ago, but I have still been a bit naff about writing regularly here.
Once exams were finally over, I kind of spent the first 2 weeks in a state of panic over results. Also, my "boyfriend", who is an exchange student, was getting ready to go home..... So that trauma took up a lot of my time. (argh, that is a scary word for me, but meh, we'll have to try out this long distance lark)
I do also suffer from anxiety and depression, and I am recovering from an eating disorder (but I currently do not believe that I require drugs/treatment for these issues, I have them under control with the help of my family and friends).
I did however have a particularly bad episode after exams, which meant that I was of no use to anyone, and I certainly wouldn't have been able to produce the loving and fun content that I want to produce here. I had a series of very dark days, with very little sleep (3 to 4 hours a night). This made the depression seem more unmanageable and the anxiety louder and harder to deal with)
Veganism, to me, is an act of self love. It preserves the values of peace and love that I believe to be core to my truest self. Since becoming vegan, (for the animals, to live a life without suffering and pain), I feel like I am living for my beliefs. I no longer want food, or self loathing to fill my head and become all encompassing. I now know that I have so much more to offer, and if you could please bear with me, I want to take you on this journey with me.
I want to create a safe space for people here, so if you don't have anything loving to contribute, please, don't bother with trolling (and I check all comments anyway)
Right that was a bit of a downer, but the next post will be a recipe.... and will feature my naughty dog, Penny.
