My thought tunnels can be huge. Right now I’m trying to narrow it in and remember - all I have to do is cook dinner and put the kids to bed. . . . The other stuff can wait. . . . #whentheboughbreaks #postnatalanxiety #postnataldepression #mentalhealthadvocate #itsokaynottobeokay #itsokaytofeel #sundaynotsofunday #sundaynight (at Perth, Western Australia)

How many do you have? I never realised how many of my bodily issues could be attributed to anxiety. Interesting huh? #anxiety #anxious #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #anxietydisorder #sunday #picaday #instamood #thisisme (at Perth, Western Australia)

Three things I’ve learned from the experts about managing anxiety: accepting it, intervening before it takes hold and breathing. Read more on the blog, link in bio. . . . How do you manage anxiety? Or do you find it managing you?

8.30 am: sitting at a desk for the first time in 2.5 years. Okay I’m working from home but still, I’m working 😝 . . . You gain so much time not having to worry about make up or shoes. Staying in my active wear too! Yee ha. . . . #workingmum #workingmumslife #workingmumstyle #friday #fridayphoto #coffeetime☕ #coffee #instamoods #photoaday #picoftheday #morning #morningmotivation #followmefollowyou (at Perth, Western Australia)

Countdown to #anxiety hour. Everyday at 4.30pm it comes. Now I’m anxious about getting anxious - one simply cannot win sometimes 🤨 #anxietydisorder #anxiety #anxietyattacks #sadnesstime #medicate #drugs #meds #mentalhealth (at Perth, Western Australia)

No morning photo today because I was too busy drinking coffee and messing up the house with my beautiful friends @emmatchase and Sabrina 💕 #photoadayapril #thursdaynight #instadailypic #instamood #followmeoninstagram #perthisokay #perthfriends #thisisme #mumlifestyle #mumlife #best #bestfriendship (at Perth, Western Australia)

Anzac Day 2018. As I get older I realise more how important this day is. While I don’t like violence or war I am still thankful to the service men and women past, present and future for the work you do and the sacrifices made. Also, let’s not forget those who’ve returned and struggle with PTSD. . . . #ptsd #anzacday #thankyouall #withlove❤️ #mentalhealthmatters #wednesdaynight #instadailypic #returnedservicemen #returnedservicesleague (at Bibra Lake Reserve)

4pm: came home from ☕️ with @hatingkatie to find my girl had gone to the toilet! (See previous post if that sounds odd) Thanks husband 👏 . . . Also thanks to husband for letting me sleep in this morning. Meant I could stay up late last night to write. I hit 15,500 words! . . . I’m loving writing my book but I’m always exhausted the next day. Hence, we’ve let toddler watch far too much TV and iPad today. Oops 😬🤪 . . . #goodevening #goodnight #tuesdayafternoon #photoaday #picoftheday #photooftheday #instagood #today #beautiful #followme #follow #me #thisisme #photodiary #instamood #like4like #author #mentalhealthadvocate (at Perth, Western Australia)

Today: trying to face things I’ve found too overwhelming this week. Tackling things that cause me to feel guilt. Toilet training. . . I want this for her not me. I find it so overwhelming with everything else to do in the day. . . . How did you manage it? . . . #morning #photoaday #picoftheday #photooftheday #tuesdaymorning #me #thisisme #photodiary #instamood #igdaily #author #mentalhealthadvocate (at Perth, Western Australia)

Today ended up being beautiful. I did the yoga, I ate good food,played with the kids and even got to write a bit. . . . I took it easy on myself 💕 I hope you had a lovely day too and if not, please try and be kind to yourself at least. . . . #goodevening #goodnight #photoaday #picoftheday #photooftheday #instagood #today #beautiful #followme #follow #me #thisisme #photodiary #instamood #like4like #author #mentalhealthadvocate (at Perth, Western Australia)

I’m going to take a #photoaday to document my week. . . . 9am Monday: baby asleep, I’ve escaped to my room. Feel like crying, sleeping, yelling and doing yoga. Yes, I’ve had my meds 😝 . . . It never takes long for the #mentalload to kick in. How will I do all this and start work this week (after 2 years)? 🤔😣🤪 . . . #life #monday #morning #photoaday #picoftheday #photooftheday #instagood #today #beautiful #followme #follow #me #thisisme #photodiary #instamood #igdaily #author #anxiety #anxietysucks #mentalhealthadvocate (at Perth, Western Australia)

All profits from the sale of this book will be given to mental health organisations and support services. . . . This is a project from my heart to those who are suffering, struggling, finding the transition to parenthood hard. . . . I’m comfortable talking about it and I will do this for those who aren’t or just can’t. Let’s end the stigma together. #author #writing #helpmewritethis #mystoryisntover #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #endthestigmaofmentalhealth #standuptostigma #postnataldepressionandanxiety #postnatalmentalhealth #lifequotes #instadaily #gofundme (at Perth, Western Australia)
