A reflection on surviving the gap between asking for help and receiving it, while life keeps demanding that you carry on through it, anyway.

A reflection on emotional numbness, low motivation, and the quiet kind of mental health struggle that feels more empty than sad.

Healing isn’t a straight line. Some days I function, but only in body. Some days the thoughts creep back in. This is an honest account of the last three days—acknowledging the struggle, owning what’s mine, and refusing to carry someone…

Healing isn’t a straight line. Some days still spiral, but with each one, the sting softens a little. Today reminded me that even when I slip, I can step back, reset, and keep moving forward.

She claims she’s over me. She says she’s “upgraded.” Yet she still reads my blog, still references me, still rewrites the story. If she were truly secure in her choices, she wouldn’t need to. The reality? Narcissists never fully let…

The past few weeks have been a turning point. I’m calmer, happier, and starting to feel like myself again. I’ve been reconnecting with people, building stronger bonds with my daughter, and even pushing forward at work. Life still has its…

Despite what stories she wants to tell people to justify what she did. I’m a good fucking person. I’m not the monster she wants to frame me as. I took her on with a newborn child and a toddler. I…

Healing is a weird process. So many times — as you’ll have seen in some of my previous posts — I feel like I’m improving. I’ll have a good day, maybe even a few strung together. I get up, crack…

Every message from you is like a knife right through my heart. I feel like I’ve took one step forward but then I’m right back to the start. Sitting in the darkness thoughts running through my head. Why are you…

Isn’t it kind of sad? I’ve taken a long, hard look at myself. I’ve admitted where I went wrong. I’ve apologised — not just to her, but to myself too. I’ve committed to doing better. I’ve done the work. I’m…

It’s easy, after a breakup, to get stuck in the why. Why did this happen? Why didn’t they try harder? Why wasn’t I enough? I’ve asked all of those questions — more times than I care to admit. But lately,…
