Sunday Spotlight - 17th August 2014

In my life this week…

Pink Zara Coat

A few months ago I saw the most beautiful pink coat I had ever seen on the Zara website. I completely fell in love with it, but decided I’d have a think about buying it, as it wasn’t cheap. Unfortunately, when I actually decided I was going to treat myself, I went back to the website to find it was out of stock (says something for going with your gut feeling!) I e-mailed Zara to see if they were still selling it, only to find out they wouldn’t be getting any more stock. To say I was devastated was an understatement! I tried to accept the fact I wouldn’t be able to get my hands on the coat but I couldn’t get it out of my head, so last week I decided to have a little browse on eBay, as I know with some Zara outfits they sometimes end up being sold on there. I was obviously destined to own the coat because I found a lovely seller who had them in all sizes. I quickly popped one in my basket and a few days later it arrived, beautifully packaged. I’m so excited to wear it when the weather gets a little cooler!

Wilko stationery

When I’m looking for stationery, the last place I would have thought to look was Wilkos. But just recently I received some gifts from my work for when I start college, only to find out they came from Wilkinson’s. I was so impressed that I decided to pop in when my Mum took me on a shopping trip this week. I was so impressed with the range of products they sell and at such amazing prices, so stocked up on a few more bits and bobs. I will definitely be popping in whenever I go past a store to see what lovely products they have on offer.

Depression

I generally try to keep my Sunday Spotlights cheerful, but I also think it’s important for me to be honest. The last week or so my depression and other mental health problems seem to have taken a massive nosedive. I keep crying; I go to sleep hoping I won’t wake up and my head is full of horrible thoughts and feelings. I’ve had to come off Facebook because I can’t cope with seeing everyone else doing things I want to be doing. I don’t feel I can be myself there any more. I’m just not good enough and people don’t want to hear me moaning, so it’s best for me to just not be there. I feel sad about it because it’s my only link with the outside world a lot of the time, but it just seems to cause more stress, which I can’t cope with. I feel like I’ve got nowhere to turn at the moment. I see a CPN once a month if I’m lucky, but apart from that I’ve lost all my support. So, I’m just trying to get through a day at a time because at the moment, that’s all I can do.
