Hello lovely’s. It’s been a minute…
After the last launch I crashed, exhausted and burnt out, and just wanting to binge watch greys anatomy when I have free time 📺 🧑⚕️ 😴
This sensitive subject is not something I’d normally talk about on social media, like many of us I’d keep it to myself until the dark cloud has passed. But I feel that you all need an explanation for me being MIA and it’s okay to talk about mental health.
Burn out can look different for everyone but for me it lives as just pure exhaustion, a drop tool and walk away kind of ignorance to anything that takes up too much brain capacity and hiding, I hide from the world, everyone except those close to me. I go in to hiding normally with a stupidly long series do only the things I have to do until I feel like me again.
Looking after mental health is something I feel strongly about having suffered with it enormously in my teens. In my adult years I’ve learnt coping mechanisms and strategies to help me recognise the signs and handle them. I never silence the feelings, instead I take time to listen to them, understand them and then work with them to overcome them.
This time my jewellery suffered. I’m not sure why, I just didn’t want to make and I had no inspiration to post anything on social media. 😢
So I took a step back, deciding to concentrate on my 9-5, my family and another exciting milestone in my life (which I will tell you about when I can). I always come through this, it happens once or twice every year for me, normally January and July!
I am still here though and with events coming up, I’m just tinkering when I feel I want to without the pressure. I just hope that you guys will stick with me, while I figure it out.
For now I will be at Stourton woods with the Lincolnshire makers on Sunday 17th August. I’ll have all of the new collection available there too.
Stay with me guys, I always come back stronger than ever but I won’t be fully back now until September and I’ll get the on to making an autumn/halloween collection.
