MENTAL HEALTH & SOCIAL MEDIA

Let's make something clear: my body confidence is, at times, very low.

I've never been able to unconditionally love absolutely everything about my body – something I'm sure most people can relate to. Sometimes it's my stomach, sometimes it's my nose or my teeth or my chin. Lately, I've noticed how social media has had a massive impact on the way I see and feel about my body.

I am well aware how, these days, people have gotten particularly good at Photoshop and Facetune and I also know (deep down) that no one would ever share something they don't particularly like or are 100% content with. Despite my common sense, I can't help but scroll through my Instagram feed and feel like I am not enough.
You're basically almost expected to have it all: perfect body, perfect face, amazing outfit, lots of money and great photography skills. And let's not forget about the constant pressure of getting tonnes of likes and followers – something I have yet to master I'm afraid.

GUESS WHO'S BACK!

Well hello there.

I guess long time no see?

This has been a long coming post but the past couple of months have been so awful and stressful that I had practically no time to think about my blog, let alone writing a post.

I started off the year with great expectations – lots of posts, content, photos. And everything was so exciting up until the moment I realised my anxiety was taking over my life.
For the longest time my relationship with anxiety has ruined so many great things, but I feel like this year has probably been quite literally the worst one.

I've always been very anxious about everything I do, it is in my nature and I can deal with it. But the pressure of succeeding and finishing my second year of university, friendships going wrong, awful housemates (that story deserves a whole post, trust me!) and the pressure of keeping up a relationship had the best of me and I ended up finishing this academic year with a first overall (yay me!) but a very unwell mind.

I Have Everyone I Need

This has been a long coming post, but it's one I've always been a little bit scared to write.

However, I decided it's time to face the facts – I'm hoping I'll find other people in the same situation.

I don't have a lot of friends, I never have had, and it's okay.

It may sound sad at first, but I'm really alright with it.
