I have to say a big thank you, for all the support on my previous post. I think for some people it is really difficult to talk about their problems with anxiety or mental illness, so if I can just encourage one person to speak up then it will be worth it. There is no need to be embarrassed or suffer alone, no matter what you feel, there will be someone who understands you.
Since I had been so anxious for a few weeks, all the times I went out felt like a bit of an ordeal (reminder to self: you survived all those 'ordeals'), I felt I deseved a nice winter walk when I felt better. A trip down to the Sunday quayside market, passing through the castle keep, on a cold fresh day, was a real pick me up.

Wow you look amazing, the longer hair really suits you! So great you can just change your style now whenever you fancy it!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite things to do when I was visiting Newcastle was strolling to the Quayside Market on a Sunday, we would do it every time without fail. Since moving here I haven't really done it as much but I think I need to visit again soon, it's been ages!

Those extensions look fab! Love the parka too, you don't usually see navy ones! I'm so glad you're feeling better and you should be SO proud of yourself for managing to go out when you didn't feel so good! x

Brave, beautiful girl. Seriously so proud of you. I hope you know how many people you have not only inspired, helped and encouraged this year, but also supported, loved and given faith and courage too. Me being one of them! You are a survivor and someone we can all look up to with a tremendous amount of praise and admiration, always. Never forget that honey :)
ReplyDeleteThe castle keep is looking gorgeous, as is your autumnal outfit, just perfect for a wintery walk. The pop of burnt orange is so stunning from your satchel and I adore your bobble hat. Everything just goes gorgeously!
I don't know what I'd have done without you, seriously. Thank you a million and more for being there. Hope someday I can repay you somehow. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. For everything. My beautiful Gem! <3

Love your orange bag! You can't beat the Quayside market - perfect for Sunday morning stroll's. We haven't been in a while so I must visit again soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting at my computer in the small room I call my study with the central heating on, but my hands are still cold. I've made use of my husband's socks, which he threw out after developing holes. I cut the foot off and slid the ankle section over my hands, which leaves my fingers free to type. Trendy? We make our own fashion. hehe.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute, and I really like the jacket! :)
