So after my blog this morning I went and started work, and kept repeating over and over in my head that it was going to be a good day. It’s been anything but. I ended up crying and having to leave the office, all over this one stupid case that is haunting me! I ended… Continue reading Not the best start to the week…

Oh work, what am I going to do about you?
I woke up immediately anxious this morning, not wanting to go to work. Here I am though, sitting in the work canteen bright and early. I should be proud of myself for getting here, but all I can think about is how much I don’t want to be here. It brings me no happiness to… Continue reading Oh work, what am I going to do about you?
Small Victories Part 3
Well this week was a long one. The heat was hard to deal with, and as a result, I didn’t meet any of my small victory goals that I set myself last week. I didn’t make it to the gym, or for a swim. I couldn’t bring myself to cook something from scratch in my… Continue reading Small Victories Part 3
To leave or not to leave?
That is the question on my mind right now. Well, to be honest, it’s been the question on my mind for about a year. I used to love my job. It brought me happiness daily, and to be blunt I’m really fucking good at it. Recently though, I just keep getting the feeling that I… Continue reading To leave or not to leave?

I’m happy for you, I promise.
On Saturday the 31st August 2013, my mum died. On Saturday the 13th July 2019, my dad re-married. I remember when he told me last July that he was going to propose to his partner, A. He texted me, asking if I was free to go for a coffee as he had something he wanted… Continue reading I’m happy for you, I promise.
Small Victories
I’ve been off work this whole week due to my anxiety. It’s not the first time, and I’m not hopeful that it will be the last. I find taking time off sick for my mental health to be something of a catch 22. See, I know all the things I should be doing while I’m… Continue reading Small Victories
First post!
Hi, I’m Clare, welcome to On My Mind. I was a little bit worried about starting this blog today, as I wasn’t sure I’d be able to really think of anything to write. Then I realised I’d picked a blog name that gives me a prompt on what to write, what’s on my mind? Well,… Continue reading First post!
