Taking a break...

I am taking a short break from blogging. I've had mental health issues in the past and am currently struggling once again. I made the decision to go on medication a couple of weeks ago, and I am now working my way through the side effects which have me feeling exhausted at the smallest of tasks. Right now my only focus is to get well again.

Thank you to all my wonderful readers for your support and positive comments, it means a lot to me!

    I have the utmost respect and my prayers are out to you. I pray you'll adjust well to your medicine and that your healthcare provider be attuned to exactly what you need. Please be kind to yourself. You look after your family so well, please rest up and I hope you have all of the support you need. Your readers will be right here when you feel better.

    I'm sorry to hear you haven't been well. I do hope the side effects from the medication won't last too long and won't be too severe. You are so generous with your skills and talents, but now it is time to put yourself first. Take care.

  10. How brave of you to be so honest, it is good role modelling for others who are also struggling. Most people have times in their lives when it is difficult, but do not like to admit it as is seen as a weakness. take care of yourself, you are an amazing person and a real inspiration. Praying for you. xx Ann
