| Introduction | Home is a village on the edge of Dartmoor I live with Louis, my son aged eight. I work with older people with dementia and other mental health problems and believe that my own lifelong bouts of depression have promoted my understanding of people with similiar experience and have afforded me a great opportunity to grow personally. I'm living proof that you can live with this illnesss optimistically! After concluding that there are often no absolutes I have resolved to live a productive, creative and meaningful life in the grey zone. The fear of criticism, both from myself and others has represented a barrier to doing things in the past. I am now embracing the imperfect, throwing aside 'black and white thinking' and seeing where that takes me. This blog represents my attempts to do this and my intention is to share the good times but not mask over the times when things will, invariably, go t*ts up! |
