I'm Lewis: a dad, husband & my wife's carer. She has mental health issues so I often do extra parent things + make sure she's ok.

I've been building again!

If you like it, I'd very much appreciate a donation to support the local charity who have been helping me keep going.

Thank you for the support hopefully it helps others feel less alone.

Made chocolate covered honey flapjacks with the boys.

Still using the basic flapjack recipe my sister wrote out over 30 years ago :)

Love the new shirt that B got me for my birthday. It's one of the little phrases we use when we talk about mental health struggles.

Flashback to an old post reminiscing about times when B and I did manage to get out.

Exponential growth on the pickle jars probably isn't a good sign!

(Note: They're red onions, not rhubarb!

It's now been a year since I had to quit my job! I honestly hoped it wouldn't be this long... but part of me knew it might.

Remember last year when I wrote to my local MP?

Well, what I never got around to updating you on was the fact I got a response... albeit a fairly disappointing one :(

You can read my original letter, and the response here:

I've gotten round to writing a new post based on daily notes taken describing B's struggles. It's not the happiest of reads I'm afraid and I'm not in the best place right now.

I've managed to write down some of the thoughts running through my head right now. I'm just so tired and frustrated and low, I need to vent.

Trigger Warning: Talk of suicide & self harm.

Finding it hard to wrestle with my brain to get to the pool, but today I've now done over 1300 lengths.

Just 120 more to go and that'll complete the channel swim challenge!

Please sponsor, any amount is greatly appreciated https://t.co/lesPtKA5ev

[Leader Of The Lost Plot (Lewis) @LOTLostPlot]

Pushed it today and managed 100 lengths today, that's about 1.5 miles!

Any more sponsorship would be greatly appreciated: https://t.co/lesPtKAD43

It's over two years now since B was sectioned and has been living in mental health facilities of one type or another!
