Maybe I'll try blogging again
I'm not clear on why I stopped blogging at livejournal and moved elsewhere. I know exactly why I stopped blogging there and I'm not going to go into it.
Long story short, I'm back living in Cambridge (a good thing), I've found a church, not finding it entirely straightforward, but am enjoying serving on the sound desk and hoping to start teaching in sunday club soon. I'm working part time on a trial basis, hoping that they will want to keep me, but not confident I can stay and not put my health on a downwards spiral.
I have a car, this is a very good thing, when your mobility is as poor as mine this is a lifeline. Sadly the government are trying to change the boundaries as to what level of mobility qualifies you to the level of benefit that allows you to access a car through motability - I really need to write to my MP about this.
Whilst I wouldn't say my mental health has been poor (since recovering from postnatal depression), it's been noticeable how much better I am in this sense since having a car has got me out of the house independently and connecting with people. It's not a matter of feeling happy or sad, but a matter of feeling that I can do things, that I do have value and worth.
I hope to be back, I have things to say!
