What's been happening?
It has been a while since I wrote which is because I have been busy trying to repair my brain which got a little broken. Yes I lost my mind but I found it again and all is better than ever! Thanks to serious therapy, adherence to medication and following a wellness program.I am fine now thanks!
I knew things were going down hill in April when I was tackling way too many life stresses. Then we had a great time in the UK in May which although full on it was very adventurous. We saw family in the South of England, explored Bath and Wales, flew from Birmingham to Dublin, drove through Ireland up to Derry and flew from Derry to Glasgow and drove up through the Scottish Highlands (my favourite) and then drove across to Edinburgh where we froze and then caught a train through England to London explored the city briefly and then took a Eurostar train to Paris. We saw so much I am still trying to piece it together. It was great though. You will be pleased to know that my little project whilst away was running where-ever I could. I saw so much of the country-sides and sight seeing is great whilst you run. Hyde Park was my favourite but the Irish country-side and flat of the Highlands were also pretty magnificent.
June was the worst and I knew something wasn't quite right, but it took getting a letter from my boss stating that my performance at work had diminished to unsatisfactory to seek help. I was re-diagnosed with Bipolar and have been going through the process of managing my mind and behaviour ever since. I finally returned to work on October 25 which took every inch of my courage. I am now on lighter duties and seriously learning how to slow down which is my biggest challenge.
