Anxiety, Nasty people and weird old me!!

17.

Hey there you lovely folks! How are you? All good I hope, I just looked at my previous blog and realised it was over a week ago since I've blogged!! I give you permission to tell me off about it next time any of you see me (don't be too harsh though please) The reason for the no blog is because I've worked everyday since Tuesday, and today (Sunday) I've been with my Dad, Rob, Jack, Emma and then saw my Mama for a little bit :) so this is the only moment I've had enough time to sit and talk to you all. By the way, would you like me to write about my Mum one day? She's very adorable!

I know I usually give you the song I'm currently listening too but tonight it's an album, I'm listening to the new Paramore album, even though it's been out over a year now :/ it's pretty different to their older music but as bands grow older their music changes slightly, I still love it so it's all good. Paramore can the next album be a bit more heavier though please? Thank you, big fan <3 

I've been really poorly this week, I've sounded like a man all week because of this blasted cold. I had two days of snot related issues and five days of cough related issues *cries* <---- that's where you feel slightly sorry for me. Thankfully though today I'm feeling better, I still have this chesty cough, whatever a 'chesty' cough is, but I'm no longer a miserable sod or being quiet or quite snappy towards people...okay I lie, I shouted at someone today then cried about it.

My anxiety has been playing up a bit this week, while I've been on the bus, usually at the same spot I get this sudden feeling of 'oh my god' and feel so tense and I sigh a lot to try and kinda release the tension I guess. It doesn't last that long but it's pretty horrible to feel everyday. I don't know what causes it and I don't know how to figure out what it is that causes it either because it just happens suddenly. Maybe it's all the people on the bus? If any of you have tips on how to cope with it while its happening I would really appreciate it, I know I can Google tips but I think tips would be better from those who know more about me.

This week I have also realised that me writing this blog and pretty much spilling my brain to you guys sets me up for people to latch onto my weaknesses and exploit them, to try and test me I think. I just want to say that I write my blog to help others who struggle in similar ways to myself, to many other people those struggles may seem like nothing but to us they are everything!! And it's very sad that some people see those and use them in a negative way towards us for their own benefit. I'm sure those who do this wouldn't like it if we did it to them. Nastiness gets you no where!! 

Also in the week that is my life I have realised that I'm a MESS at speaking to people. I think my brain sometimes works too fast for my mouth or my mouth moves to fast for the words to come out right, it's just a fumble sometimes! I go to say words and just a mass of blar appears, the people I'm talking too look at me like 'WTF' I try my best to brush it off as if it's nothing, like it's their ears that have heard me wrong (I think my red cheeks give it away though). While talking to me I urge you to just go along with whatever mumble fumble I say and act as if you understand and please take no notice of my arms when they flap around the air, because that doesn't make the situation more awkward now does it? Honestly guys, it's a miracle that I have people speaking to me on a regular basis.  

After Tuesday I have the week off :D what shall I do? BOWLING! I HAVE to go bowling! Would anyone like to join me?? You pay for yourself though, lets just get that cleared up! I think I really need to see two very good friends of mine, both I haven't seen for months because life just does that sometimes. Hopefully they will want to see me :)

Keep your heads strong my loves! Keep those smiles on your faces and know that you are never alone in this world because we have each other! 





Much love
Beth xx

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of fa

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han
