Hi guys!
I feel like it's about time I did a bit of a life update, because a lot of things have changed over the last 6 months.
So first things first, my health has started to improve massively!
This is because we actually found out what it was that was making me ill... stress.
So the long & short of it is that I have removed some of the really stressful things from my life. I have also started having some CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).
Another part of my life that has changed is my relationship status. Now if you've been here awhile you'll know that I did have a boyfriend, however that relationship ended back in February.
I since have met someone else.
This someone else is Liam & well we just love each other so much!
We are planning to do some youtube videos together, so sit tight you'll get to meet him properly soon.
Even though we haven't been together that long we already live together, have been on holiday & now have a puppy! What can I say you just know sometimes :)
Above is a photo of us in Rome!
Now onto the gym/ fitness side of things.
I have been religiously going to the gym now since February and it has been great! It is perfect to help me de-stress & focus my thoughts/ feelings. I don't have a strict goal yet, but I think if I do decide to compete in anything it would be powerlifting, heavy weights are fun!
I've seen a lot of physical changes because of my training including weight lose, more muscle definition, more energy & more motivation.
So that's about it really.
Love Eve xx

I've always told myself that I don't have anxiety & am fine. However it wasn't until recently that I started reading into what anxiety actually is!
It's actually a really complicated mental illness (yes that taboo word)! There's a variety of symptoms involved & anxiety can be linked to other illnesses such as OCD.
I think everyone has some anxiety to some degree or has a trigger which can make them feel anxious. However some people can cope with this better than others & can keep it at a healthy level.
I recently have not been able to do this!
Throughout school I had always struggled with presentations, becoming visibly shakey & sweaty. Since leaving school I haven't really found this anxiety to be an issue as my job doesn't require me to do that sort of thing.
However if a confrontational situation is ahead of me these symptoms come raging back, as well as an extremely raised heart rate. As someone who is self-employed the book stops at you so if someone's not happy you can find yourself in very hostile situations. I obviously try to avoid these by doing my upmost to delivery the best service I can!
Sadly though you can't please everyone!
Onto the other things that have led me to my GP to discuss anxiety, are the stresses I'm currently dealing with regarding my health. I am sure this is the reason that my anxiety level has spiralled out of control!
I'm constantly ill, struggling with an unknown allergy which never relents! It is at the point now where I'm so fed up with it I could cry at any point (another anxiety symptom is lack of emotional control). As well as this I'm very forgetful, stressed easily over nothing & feel completely underwhelmed by everything. I find this so frustating as I have so much to live for, but my mind just won't let me enjoy it.
If you think your suffering like me I would advise going to see your doctor. I have a really good doctor dealing with my allergy case & now my anxiety. This meant he believed me without question & wanted to help me instantly. If a doctor doesn't take you seriously see another, & if they don't another! It's so important to talk to people about this sort of thing.
I'd been in denial for so long, but now I've admitted it I feel like I can start changing things for the better.
