Diddly Oms

I last posted this picture about 4 years ago but the past few weeks have made me think about it a lot again.
It was taken at a wedding where the outside world saw me happy and smiling. But inside and to those close to me I was in the middle of a really tough time with my mental health.

For a long time I’ve struggled with anxiety and panic attacks and thankfully they are mostly under control. But every now and then when I’m not looking after myself properly it creeps up on me and gives me an almighty reminder of how it can completely floor me.

Over the last 3 or 4 months I’ve had some amazing things going on in my life but they’ve also been alongside some really tough things happening personally. It’s resulted in a very quick downward spiral that has stopped me in my tracks. I’m very fortunate to have a wonderful group of friends and family who have been there to help pick me up and piece things back together. There have been endless conversations, tears, walks, hugs, flowers and chocolates - you all know who you are. And alongside some professional help I’m getting there.

But it’s made me take stock of things and what I need right now. So I’m making a few tweaks and changes to some of my work for the time being. For the next half term I’m taking a break from Friday morning sessions with Stretch with Stories and Baby Yoga and changes to some of my private classes are happening too.

I’m hoping to get back with these classes over the summer so for those of you already booked on I’ll be in touch about transferring sessions. Not everything is stopping but hopefully this will allow me the much needed space to look after myself properly and not run myself into the ground and to breaking point again.

Sorry for the long post but I feel it’s important to share these things as it’s still so often not talked about. Thank you to everyone for your understanding xx
