I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this page. When I first started sharing my journey with FND, this space became somewhere I could be honest about the hard days, raise awareness, give others space to talk and learn, show the ups and downs, and everything in between.

I don’t know if this page still helps anyone, if anyone would still want me to share, or if maybe the time for that part of my journey has passed. Maybe simply leaving this page here — as a reminder of how far I’ve come — is enough. But if there is anything anyone would still

like to hear about, whether it’s FND, recovery, motherhood, or balancing both, I’d love to know or if actually the time has passed and it’s enough as it is. Sometimes it’s hard to know whether your voice still has a place, after being quiet for so long. 💛

Today is FND Awareness Day 💛 I’ve been quiet on here for a long time… over a year actually. Life has changed so much in that time. Living with FND hasn’t been easy, and there were moments where things felt overwhelming and uncertain.

FND is real. It’s challenging. But there is hope. If you’re in the middle of it right now, please know that things can change. Progress might be slow, and it might not look how you expected—but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Today I’m choosing to celebrate how far I’ve come, and to stand with everyone still fighting their own battles with FND 💛

A lingering affect of my FND, is that I find groups of people overwhelming and anxiety inducing, this means sometimes my ability to process can be affected because I’m in flight mode awaiting a threat. I try and position myself in spaces where no one can come up behind

that if you do this, it’s ok, you aren’t alone. Especially as we are approaching Christmas we’re group activities and larger events maybe taking place. So to my fellow door watchers and anxiety induced observers, I see you and it’s ok to take your time,

For the last 3 years I have made a Christmas wreath with the amazing Milston Flower Barn. I have gradually done more of my own wreath & been able to create something I’m happy with. This year was the most I managed to do independently and I’m really proud of the result ❤️

It’s been a while since I’ve done this, but sometimes a way to get negative thought spirals to break is with happiness and smiles. If you’d like to share a photo that makes you smile, laugh or just pause to admire, I’d really appreciate it ❤️ Here’s mine…
