I'm back from Orlando!

Hi Everyone! I’m now back from Orlando. I was hoping to blog a little more whilst I was out there but I was so busy every day. Although I have managed to tick off a few of my 22 things to do before I’m 22 though; 1. Vlog Florida. 6. Swim with Dolphins. 15. Go to the beach for the day. 21. Face a fear. I did manage to finally do something which I haven’t since we’ve been coming to Orlando 15 years ago and going to all the theme parks. I have no problem with roller coasters or any ride really but I’ve always avoided to bigger waterpark slides. I don't really know why, maybe because there just one steep drop, i have no idea. On Monday last week though we went to Blizzard Beach and my brother wasn’t feeling well so my Dad convinced me to go on the two bigger slides with him and I DID THEM!! I wasn’t so keen on the bigger of the two though, it felt like the skin on my back was being scraped off. It gave me such an adrenaline rush though.  Thats why I love roller c...

A Day In The Life... On Set As An Extra.

Hello :) I’m currently in Orlando and my body had no idea where it is or what time it is. I’m up at 2:30am over here and I’ve missed a whole day here in bed. I could barely hold my body up I’ve been that tired but I’m hooked up back on my meds and vitamins so I’m wide awake now! (oops)  Thank you to anyone who has offered to help me complete my list of 22 things to do before I’m 22. I’ve planned a few already which I’m so excited for now! I’m gonna get about 4 completed over here and I only have 16 weeks until I’m 22 now. At least its a start and thats 4 in less than 3 weeks which is even better!  As I mentioned before in a blog post about how I finally got to go back to work and did a days filming in Liverpool again for a Nivea advert. Even with the boring waiting around it was so much fun and gave me such a buzz to go back and it honestly felt like I’d never stopped.  I thought I would let you know what happens on an average days filming from my point o...

Lovely Letters and Polaroid Pictures

Hello! Thank you for your lovely feed back so far with my blog. It’s been nearly a year since I started it and I’m so glad I’ve kept up with it, even if sometimes it has only been one post a month.  I’m so happy I’ve managed to keep up with my goals too and I’ve started to become more independent and confident by simply changing my hair, having a weekly allowance to pay for everything besides food and just leaving the house more often, nearly daily and I have blogged more. I have been setting up my YouTube channel and planning ideas for videos so hopefully next week or the week after there will be something uploaded. Also as I said I wanted to plan more trips and holidays away I’ve off to Florida at the beginning of March with my family but me and my mum have decided to stay an extra week to relax after the madness of theme parks and the beach which is another goal ticked off! Unfortunately I’ve not been able to get up early every day, but lets say I have been out of bed...

Positivity is key!

Hello! As you know from my last few blog posts I’ve had surgery recently so I’m sorry for my absence from here lately, it’s been pretty draining and that and lots of hospital/doctors visits. The surgery went without any hiccups or complications and luckily they didn’t find any Endometriosis or any reason at all for my stomach problems which is really good but also so frustrating because well, it means I’m back to square one.  I’ve decided though, after many weeks of feeling sorry for myself that I need to be way more positive as I think positivity is key to getting better. I also have this massive urge to just do something with my life rather than letting this illness take over. I’m not just going to be blogging about M.E/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Anxiety and my health but other things that interest me, my opinions on places I’ve been, clothes and beauty products I like maybe, reviews of a variety of things. I really do want to raise awareness of everything I’ve talked abo...

A Not So Happy New Year.

Hellooo! Happy New Year!!  I hope you've all had a fabulous New Years and all recovered by now. Unfortunately this time of year is normally pretty hard for me. It’s normally the time of year I have more visits to the doctors/hospitals, mainly because of my mood and depression. A lot of people feel down this time of year too, after the excitement of christmas and new years and being pretty busy for 2 weeks its not that great going back to work or school and getting back to a normal routine. This doesn't happen for me, although i wish it could. I normally spend the next two months in bed a lot, losing day after day.  This year doesn't seem very different. I’m writing this at 4:40am on the 9th January and I’ve already missed most of the first 8 days of January. The only difference is, i have this surgery looming over me and growing ever closer, its only 4 days to go and I am absolutely petrified!!  I stupidly googled it. NEVER i repeat NEVER google it!!! EVERR...

10 Things to NEVER say to someone with a Chronic Illness.

This is the last time I will be boring you with the issues in my life, at least for 2014 anyway.  First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS! i know its a little late but we’re still within the 12 days of Christmas so I think its okay. Is it seven swans a swimming? My friend Jack should know. Since my last post not a great deal has happened in the shape of progress with this pointless illness. I’ve barely seen my doctor since last time which I’m sure they are pretty happy about. I’ve come to realise there isn’t much point until after the keyhole surgery in the new year anyway as they don’t know what to do next.  In a way I’m hoping they do find something because then I know what the hell is going on. Also I’m hoping it isn't Endometriosis and that I’m able to have kids in the future but then I won’t have any idea what is wrong with me in that case. One thing for sure is that I am absolutely petrified about the surgery. I don’t care what anyone says, it may be only keyhole surg...

The most pathetic excuse for a 21 year old.

It's been a while since I've posted anything mainly cause I've been in the worst possible place since this whole stupid illness started.  That place has mainly been my bedroom. My bedroom is at the front of my house with a gaping big bay window for all to see in but these past two months you can't see past the layers of blinds and curtains that have remained closed and I've developed an unhealthy obsession with Prison Break. The only reason I seem to have left my home is to visit a doctor or therapists or for a blood test. If they had a loyalty card I'd be on my second or third this year. I'm not sure what you'd get for having been so many times, maybe a fast pass to the front of the queue on busy days? Although I wouldn't need that I think me and mum have the timing cracked.  Well, at the end of September I went to Florida again, but this time we took a little extra baggage in the form of my auntie and two baby cousins (yes Megan and Chr...
