#writersofcoso I’m a writer of short stories and flash fiction. I also write about #mentalhealth.

I’m really keen to make more connections with writers. Please give shout outs to your favourite writers so I can follow! 🙏

Also, I’m on the look out for a writing buddy to potentially do some co-writing with. I haven’t done it before but think it’d be fun and educational! Give me a heads up if that could be you 👍👍

Here is a short story based on my experiences of nursing people at the end of their lives.

Better day today. Not quite as perfect as the Gower, but home is still beautiful. Especially when the sun shines.

Here’s the piece I wrote about healing in the Gower a few weeks back.

Good morning #CoSo

I had a rough night worrying about the day ahead and meeting up with my mum.

I spent an hour or so talking to some lovely people late last night.

Then an hour before the meeting she cancelled.

I’d feel angry, but looking at the positives, I managed to open up to some fantastic people.

I hope I can be as helpful to others in the future

#payitforward

Thanks again to all the kind words on here last night.

@JessiQuino was fantastic! Thank you so much 🙏

That’s twice in less than 24 hours that I’ve called for help, and the support I received was superb

Thanks #CoSo #community #friends

Also in other news, my recent tattoo has now fully healed.

I got it in an attempt to accept my Black Dog (depression). It’s a 1/2 sleeve on the top of my right arm.

Any love for #tattoos #ink?

It’s 3.30am (UK time) and I’ve suddenly woken up and can’t get back to sleep.

I’m seeing my mum tomorrow at 10 and I’m not looking forward to it (it’s complicated). Anyone up who fancies talking shit to take my mind off things?

So I had a bad day today (that is before the awesome guys on here gave me a lift @blodeuyn in particular!)

For a bit of background here’s a blog about why I sometimes have bad days.

Thanks to everyone who sent me kind messages earlier! I feel so much better.

loving the #CoSo community! ❤️

Had a really tough day today. Think my depression is starting to relapse. Doing everything I can to ward it off. But I’m not doing so well.

Looking for a pick me up. Or someone to vent to. Or something.
