The I Feel Happy Topic!

After some health issues and being signed off work, I'm nearly back up to full time hours. I'm still very unsure about everything and struggle with negative thoughts. Having two award nominations today for events that I've designed has reassured me that I'm doing the right thing.

Anyone who knows me, knows how much time and effort I put into my job. Sometimes it feels like I'm focusing too much on my career, I'm in my early twenties and don't know many people my age where work is such a big part of their life.Things like this help to make it all worth it and remind me that I'm on the right track.

Thank you! It's nice to have people telling me my personality is back, good to actually have the energy to do anything and not be numb all the time. Not out of the woods, but back to a place where I can look after myself.
 
:blush: I'm feeling proper soppy about work right now. Being in a job I have a passion for is such a world of difference to 6 months ago where my last job screwed up my mental health. I guess it helps that I'm a total nerd about the place, with it being the local town hall and museum I've grown up visiting, and I've an interview for a permanent full time role there later this week which I'm hoping to ace.
 
I've finally decided to put myself and my wellness first. I've handed in my notice, leaving full time work for casual work at festivals and gigs. I'm not focusing on what people think of me, just doing what I want and having fun over the summer.

Should be a good one, I'm starting to feel positive about the future. Not going to let depression take over my life again.
 
I've had the best weekend ever but I'm also really gutted it's over!

This weekend was Birmingham's Pride event and on Saturday I had the opportunity to perform as part of the parade with my university's Burlesque society. It wasn't easy! We were working hard since January and even spent the last week dancing 'til dusk to be prepared for it.

And ohmygosh, what an atmosphere! I've always been the kind to break into nervous sweats during presentations so this was a real big jump in the deep end. As soon as we got to the Square before the parade, there were people everywhere embracing who they were, really putting me at ease. No one could be deterred by fear. The minute we stepped out into the crowds of thousands, I'd never felt such exhilaration. There were cameras in every single direction and I completely embraced it.

Here's the official video of the parade (cheeky shot of me in the thumbnail);


There's photos and videos EVERYWHERE so I'll let people find them if they wish:D But these are my favourites (thanks to DanB and Kieron);

We got papped in the MIDDLE of the parade (thankfully not during my dance haha);

Your little Pandy has found her feets:kissingheart:
 
So after years of having old bangers for a car I finally managed to buy a nearly new car
This is a result of years of hard work getting out of debt and sorting my life out

Tonight, my Dad got granted an extension of three years on his current appointment in Congleton, meaning we'll be staying here until at least 2021 as opposed to next summer. The past few weeks have been stressful through worrying about what's going to happen, but that doesn't matter now. To tell the truth, I'm actually pretty relieved that the wait is finally over! :)
 
Kept up the thought that technical comms people are 'a bit weird' by trying to have 10 mins on a table with rolled co-ax cable as a pillow.
 
Ok so I'm new here but hearing such great news I'm telling anyone and everyone. My case load at work are sick of hearing it.
Firstly a psychopathic ex who harried and harassed me for years after we split up finally ended up being forced to pay us a sizeable compensation stipend.

And secondly and the most important is my fiancé is now expecting our first child. Suffice to say the money we have collected is going straight into a bank account for the little one.
 
Well done, you better do a good job at scaring the S*** out of me in the scare maze, other wise I'll be asking for my money back ;)
 
Hi guys.
I'm just so happy that I can finally discuss theme parks with like-minded people like you guys and not have to constantly pester my family.
Matt.
