Hello. Over the past year I've come to realise that I suffer from some kind of anxiety disorder. I've not been to the doctor or anything like that (I'm pretty confident in my self-diagnosis). Instead, I've tried to grit my teeth and ride out the very real feelings of fear, panic and general nothingness when they've crept up on me.
So, in an attempt to articulate the swirling storm of worry, terror and emotional lethargy that batters about inside my head, I've decided to start this blog. I have no idea how long it will last because I can be a champion of listlessness, but my intention is to be honest and write about how I'm feeling and what I'm experiencing.
The first thing I need to be honest about is that I'm primarily doing this for myself. I'm a writer by trade, so I'll always have a streak of vanity that wants other people to see my handiwork, but ultimately this is a place where I can put down exactly what I'm thinking - and hopefully I can gain some catharsis from that.
Anyway, nice to meet you. On with the show.
