@RoyalMailHelp my sister posted a parcel. I got no note, but apparently there was a failed delivery attempt. Redeliver organised again failed attempt- was home and no one came. Redeliver and successful delivery to a different address.. and no idea where! How is that useful?

I hate that so many people- in their 30s- that I know are struggling at the moment. And not with small things- things like finding somewhere to rent, finding somewhere affordable to rent, finding work.
These are people with degrees, masters, phds.

My brain really is running at 100mph right now. Way too many thoughts all at once. It's so noisy in my head!

Didn't take my meds yesterday as I forgot like a idiot, and I am paying for it today with the foggiest brain and light headed-ness

This weekend when discussing ages a young one said "so you were born in the late 1900s" and I still haven't gotten over it 💀

A few years ago I was just making it through my days. I even found going out for dinner hard at one point. I couldn't travel.
Anxiety was at a all time high.

This a reminder that anyone can do it, be kind to yourself and go at your own pace ❤️

Some things I did in 2023 that past me wouldn't have believed I did:
- went on date(s) with girl(s)
- went to a conference, abroad, by myself
- bridesmaid at my sisters wedding (big events used to freak me out)
-visited Edinburgh with my friend
- started accepting me 🥰

It's been such a day already, and its only 10.30am

[Dr Erica Hawkins 🌱🔬🏳️‍🌈 @ScientistErica]

Me- an independent 33 year old woman.
Also me- rings up my dad to ask him why my toilet is making a weird sound, if I should worry, and how I can fix it!
