Three Years Later

Well, technically just over two years if we want to be precise.
The job I had then?
The company went into receivership and I was made redundant.
Soundwave and Harvest?
I don't want to hurt anyone's reputation including my own, so I'll just say I stopped working for them pretty much straight after I lost my job.
I worked in an adult store for 14 months working my way up to store manager before landing myself a sweet position as 2IC at an alternative store, I even became a body piercer.
I spent 8 months loving selling Hell Bunny dresses and piercing people until I started a rapid decline into depression. I loved my job and co workers, but some life events happened and all of a sudden I couldn't cope anymore.
I just wanted to be asleep, or drunk, or buried in a deep dark hole somewhere where life didn't matter.
I no longer wanted to see my friends, work, or leave the house. My favourite day would be when I was completely numb under a blanket on the sofa with my cat. Those were the better days.
I spent most of the summer in hospital and acute treatment for major depression. I'd never been hospitalised but it was the best thing for me. I got put onto new medication and will be undertaking a new treatment in the  hopes of discovering a happiness I may never have had.
I am on a journey of discovery I guess now.
I am not working due to my illness and waiting for my Income Protection to come through so I have a lot of time to ponder my life and my skills.
Definitely trying to get back into writing.....as vague and poorly written this blog post is, I'm normally pretty good at it.

Will be updating this again. I loved this little blog once. Time to bring it back to life.
