*Spoiler* I've never written a blog before.
Except that's not really a spoiler. Lots of people who are starting a new blog have never written one before. It's to be expected really. It should more accurately say:
I've never written about my anxiety before.
Which is true, mostly. Other than my diary (which no one is getting to read!).
Anxiety, most of us have it, but how do we cope with it?
Globally, an estimated 284 million people struggled with an anxiety disorder in 2017. Granted, there are a number of different disorders that come under the heading of 'Anxiety', but that still makes it the most prevalent mental health disorder of our generation.
I have anxiety, and I decided that I needed a new way to cope with it, and to do that, I need to change things up a bit. There are so many different things out there I want to see and do and learn more about, so I decided to make a blog to document my journey (and so you can all hold me accountable when I get distracted...), and hopefully this will give me a new approach to life.
This blog is going to be about me, and about life. That's a sneaky way to enable me to write blog posts about theatre, or books, or Wales, or love*, or one of the many other things I'm interested in, without deviating from the official line.
My plan is to post twice a week, once to document my current learning journey, and once to let you know a bit about me and hopefully start a conversation with you.
I hope you choose to join me through this process (I had to resist the urge to call it a 'journey' again - must avoid cliches!) and hopefully learn something new together.
So, hwyl am nawr.
