Good morning everyone, happy new week and happy Monday! I hope you all have an amazing week ahead 😀

Sorry it’s been a little while since my last blog. My mental health hasn’t been great recently, and I’ve been struggling to get my thoughts from my head onto paper.

Today though, I wanted to share a proud moment I had on Saturday while shopping with my partner and my friend.

We were walking around the shop and needed to pick something up for our neighbour. Now, when shops have deals like “3 for £10” or “2 for £8”, I sometimes struggle to work out which option is actually the better deal. Usually, my brain just says the £10 option must be better!
But this time… I actually worked it out correctly 😀

It might sound silly or small to some people, but in that moment my partner turned to me and said, “Well done.” Honestly, it made me feel really proud of myself. I started walking taller and felt a real sense of achievement.

For many people, something like this might seem simple. But when the shop is busy, my anxiety is high, and my brain feels like it’s going a hundred miles an hour, even little victories can feel massive.
And you know what? I’m still proud of it now.

Maybe I’ve found a new coping technique while shopping — who knows! But I’m still buzzing from it 😀
I’d love to hear from you as well. Do you have any coping techniques for busy places or crowded areas? Feel free to share them.

Also, just a quick mention — we have a fantastic young man called Kris doing a six-hour drum marathon for us live on Twitch. If you’d like to support him, the donation link is below.

Thank you for reading, and again, sorry for the lack of blogs recently.

Have a great week everyone, and I’ll see you in the next one 😀
