Big, Scary and Personal | A New Blog

It’s been a while since I last posted on here. A few months ago I spoke about how I struggle with anxiety and would like to speak about it more on my blog. However, instead of just talking about it more I have decided to take my blog in a whole new direction and it's big, scary and personal.

I am officially becoming a mental health and positivity blog.

There are a lot of bloggers out there who talk about their anxieties and mental health problems and that’s great. It honestly truly is but here’s the thing; Personally I always feel like these people are so much further along than me. I’m still at a stage where I’m mostly at home, I don’t go out or see that many friends. Just to think about getting a bigger job stresses me out, public places are generally a bit of challenge and to be perfectly honest humans terrify me. I'm working on it.

So while I love that bloggers talk about anxiety and I’m aware that they have horrible days where their anxiety gets the better of them; I've still always felt like I'm on my own.

Hopes And Dreams

I intend for most things on my blog to be positive as I know from experience that being positive is a big help. Obviously, not all my experiences will be positive but I hope to share these too, as I think it's important for people to see that bad days are part of life. I want to write a blog not only for people with anxiety but for those of us that aren't very confident, are maybe struggling with growing up or who just need a safe place to retreat to. I want to stand up for and help anyone who has similar problems to me. I hope to create a positive environment where you can find advice, comfort or safety. Not to sound too dramatic or ambitious but I want to help more people understand their own or others mental heath problems.

My Plan

1. I intend to be to be as honest as I can about my own problems so that you can see why i'm doing this but also so that you can trust that any advice comes from someone who understands. Obviously, sometimes things won't go to plan for me and there will be a few things I'm not comfortable sharing.

2. In the case of anxiety, I will give advice on how to deal with it whether it's you or someone you know.

3. I will write posts on looking after yourself, being positive and staying motivated.

4. One day I hope to start vlogging (if I ever feel confident enough) and if this blog gains enough readers I would like to start a forum or website so that everyone can share their advice and help with each other.

5. I will continue to do lifestyle posts (I love 'em after all) but each one will have a positive twist.

So what do you think? Crazy idea or kinda cool? As this is something so important to me I'd really like it to succeed but I'm not sure if this is something people need or would like to read about. I hope my blog will become a positive place that helps people and that they enjoy but I'd also like it to help with my own confidence and positivity.

Got any thoughts, tips or ideas. Please let me know what you think in the comments.

lots of love,
