About Me

Hi friends, welcome to my blog!

Here's a little bit about me.

I'm Sally, I'm nineteen and I live in a peaceful part of England with my family. I'm a college student, and I'm hoping to move to a new city next year, where I'll study literature and hopefully continue to chase my dreams of being a writer.

I've battled with anxiety (in the form of social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder and emetophobia) for years now, alongside depression and an eating disorder. Having exhausted most of the treatment options out there, including countless meds, talking therapies and intensive clinical treatment, I am more determined than ever to leave these things behind. #iamnotmyillness, and through this blog I will discuss mental illness in a transparent and uncensored way. Since I have the means, I think it's so important for me to do my bit in breaking the stigmas surrounding mental health.

I am rebuilding my life, and recreating myself by calming my mind and changing my destructive thinking patterns. There will be no exclusive theme to the posts I share on this blog; I'll use it to discuss whatever sparks an interest in me, or adds value to my life. I will cover topics such as veganism, fitness, minimalism and mindfulness, all of which are proving enormously healing for me. Despite my struggles, I am more content and creatively inspired than ever before, and I'd love to share my thoughts and experiences with you. I am on my way to living the simplest, happiest and healthiest life possible, and it'd be wonderful if you'd join me on this adventure.
