I've been following you since before you were pregnant (found you through wanting more info on the OU!) and I didn't know you were into reading and writing! I'm currently trying to get a novel published (working on my third manuscript) and my channel is all about about writing and books with some lifestyle bits thrown in too. I'm also pregnant with my first baby (I'll be 23 when my baby's here in March/April) - we have lots in common! And ahh! I love About Time. Amazing film. I need to re-watch! x
I'll definitely have to go visit your channel then! It does sound like we have a lot in common 😂 how funny! All the best with getting your novel published and with the pregnancy! You have a lot going on too it seems 😀 x
That was a good watch. I especially liked your answer about work. Are you not happy in your current job? I'd be interested to watch the video about mental health x
I'm happy enough in my current job, but I always went into it as stepping stone whilst I complete my degree, I never viewed it as a role I would stay in forever. 😊 thanks hun! x
Just a heads up, about 2 years ago masters started being covered by student finance! I graduated from a brick uni with my BA in 2016 and currently on my second half of my MA with the Open University :)
Hi beautiful, love these chatty questions and answers videos. I was curious to ask as you discussed mental health a little bit in the video, if you have ever taken anti depressants or ssri’s in the past? Its something Im considering and struggle to find decent content of peoples past experiences with them. xx
I have used them before and currently still am. I think its a matter of trial and error and finding the one that suits you best. They all have side effects but it depends on how you react to them, everyone is different. My advice would be to speak with your doctor first, and most are more than happy to have you try them for a few weeks and then have a check up to see how you are getting on before committing to them in the longer term. Just a pre-warning, they may suggest that you try other interventions first such as meditation and relaxation techniques. Sorry for long message and i hope this makes sense! Good luck xx
Heyy! Yes I have taken anti depressants in the past but that was more or less as a last resort for me, I also has counselling and have tried a lot of other things to help with depression and anxiety. Like Annie said, I would recommend talking to your doctor about your options 😊 x
