Day 13 Hey readers, how the fuck are you today? I probably shouldn’t start a blog like that if I’m trying to get a new job, but then again I have a job now and I complain about that on here too… And my family don’t know I’m taking anti-depressants and felt suicidal before. So…

Day 12 So, I already wrote this. And it was amazing. Hands down the best blog I’ve ever written, maybe even the best blog anyone has… Then I accidentally deleted all of it without saving anything. Fuck! I’ll try to emulate the beauty I created but I’m rather annoyed right now. Funnily enough I started…

Day 11 Well what a productive day I’ve had today, I recorded 6 episodes of my podcast with 6 different guests and did I “gig”. I use quotation marks technically the gig didn’t happen. The audience wasn’t big enough for the night to go ahead. But I still did some stuff for the small amount…

Day 10 Today I’m feeling good. Yesterday after I finished my blog I felt re-energized and motivated to do more so I changed my entire WordPress lay-out, I finished my podcast idea and I’m in the process of booking guests for it too. I felt happier when I woke up today. I didn’t feel horrified…

Day 8 Today was my first day back at work after being signed off for 54 days with depression and stress. It was tough getting to sleep the night before, I kept thinking about how I hadn’t managed to escape the clutches of my current day job. It felt like I’d only just drifted off…

Day 7 I’ve just got back from an absolutely brilliant gig. I was hosting a comedy debate about who is the better superhero between Batman and Superman. Superman won, I’m not into comic books but it was so much fun hosting and listening to people debate that I got really into it. I started off…

Day 6. Well last night was incredible. I had a fantastic time hosting my monthly comedy night and after a turbulent week of flu and feeling a spiral of emotions the gig really helped me focus in on one thing that always makes me happy. And that’s making other people laugh. I definitely think I…

Day 5. I had to cancel my job interview today as I knew I would have been a horrible interviewee. I don’t feel well recovered enough to convince people I’ll make a great new addition to their team. So instead I’ve been spending the majority of the day tweeting chocolate and sweet companies with complaints or…

Day 4. Today is the fourth day of me taking Anti-depressants. They’re not working yet and I’m ill so this combination makes my mood pretty shitty. I’m trying to stay optimistic about everything but it is quite hard. I’ve been watching inspiration/motivational videos of YouTube whilst simultaneously working out why none of them work for…
