I'm having a bit of a tough time of it mental health-wise at the moment. I think it's a combination of factors — the intermittent pain I suffer from my hernia, the fact my weight loss goals are proving more challenging to achieve than on previous attempts, the fact that I'm kind of tired and bored at work… it's all sort of combining together to create a mental fog that is hard to lift.
Of course, as anyone who has dealt with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression will know, there doesn't necessarily need to be a particular "trigger" for these things to manifest themselves. Sometimes you just have a bad day; a bad week; a bad month; a bad year.
I'm doing my best to keep myself busy and to keep my mind occupied, as that usually seems to be the best way for me to deal with periods like this. I'm enjoying the things I'm writing about and the things I'm making videos for — as always, though, I just wish I had a bit more time (and money) to achieve everything that I'd like to achieve. Unfortunately the world doesn't quite work that way, and so I have to tolerate the other bits in order to be able to do the things I enjoy!
Ah well. Andie and I are going on holiday in just under a month's time, so that will be nice — an opportunity to get away from it all. I'm looking forward to it. Perhaps some time away from everything will provide a good opportunity to clear my head a bit!
