Mental Health during lockdown

I never thought I would be able to say my mental health is in a good place, especially during a pandemic and a lockdown. Of course I have some days where I'm feeling a little down, but this is more due to boredom. I am fine, I sleep well, I can enjoy my day, every day for the most part (sometimes it can be a drag). I am so incredibly proud of my mental state and how I feel about myself at the moment. This post isn't to boast, I know there are people out there who have been through a horrid time during this pandemic and the lockdown, it's just gratitude for myself. 

Having the cats, still having a job, having friends and family whom I can go through this hard time with does help massively, but being in a healthy mindset and having a good frame of mind, is most definitely the icing on top of the cake. I have a clear mind and clear (almost) emotions, I am so very, very, very grateful and again proud of myself. This means I win, GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) loses. 

I hope with all the love in my heart that you are all healthy and happy. Please take care of yourself, and your mind.

Cervical Screening Awareness Week - Personal update

Hi everyone,  I hope all who read my blog are happy and healthy. As it’s cervical screening awareness week this week I thought I’d update you all on my journey. My previous post confirmed I had been diagnosed with CIN2 and the doctors had advised I do conservative management. I went along with this, until 9 months in, it was confirmed I had not shifted my CIN2. The conservative management is for a 2 year period so therefore on my last colposcopy, the nurse advised I get the treatment to remove the abnormal cells. I was more than happy with this as, not only does it give me peace of mind the cells cannot get any worse but I also felt if there was not an improvement by 9 months, this was not a good sign.  Fast forward to 27th May when my LLETZ procedure took place. The nurses were lovely, the procedure was horrendous, (I’m not going to sugar-coat it for you, it was awful), and I’m in recovery.  Last weekend, unlucky for me, I experienced a uncommon complication from the pro...
