Besides the practical changes in my life I allowed myself plenty of time to slowly cut out the antidepressants and made sure there were no external stresses in my life.
Just the other day a friend said to me “oh you live such a glamorous life!” I nearly choked on my wine! You see, I often think that of other people. But for people to think that of me?? - Well that’s just ludicrous! Here’s a list of why my life IS NOT Glamorous! 1. My car makes a loud pitched squeeling sound when it starts AND has no Aircon and is ALWAYS messy! 2. My bedroom is currently sporting...
The image above is quite a confronting image for me as it looks exactly like my son’s feet. This is not a photo of him, I have lots of photo’s, I do wish I had one like this though. Don’t say NOTHING - Please don’t pretend it has happened and say nothing.. Just say - ”I’m sorry for your loss” or ”I’m here if you” Don’t say - ”It’s better that way” or “It’s natures way” or refer to the baby as an...
Kelly and I are very different but very the same. Here is a little insight into us. I have known Kelly since she was 12. I was 15. Fast forward through 13 years of party going, teenage stuff, our twenties, boyfriends, marriages… In 2004 we were both pregnant with our first babies. At the time that I lost my baby boy Titan, Kelly and I were working together (We worked together for 10 years) Kelly...
About Kristy Vallely - The Creator of The Imperfect Mum
For the first time in the Imperfect Mum history, I have just done something that I never thought I would have to do. Today I have made a formal statement to Qld Police. Unfortunately the last couple of days I have experienced intense cyber attacks. Naturally I blocked the perpetrator however this person went on to contact my business colleagues and professional contacts. I initially hoped it...
One of our fellow I.M’s sent this to me yesterday, I think you can really read into this post. I would have to agree with what Kristin is saying. It’s what I believe to be so true. We are from all different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs this is a very beautiful thing. Love is what I endeavor to foster, that is why we have a code of conduct and that is why our community is so strong. Words...
Living in an Ivory Tower. Doesn’t it sound lovely. It’s a place where everything is perfect, black and white and without a hint of grey. It’s a place where you’re safe. Cozy, warm and surrounded by beautiful things. Everything is soft, luxurious and at your finger tips. There are a pair of rose-tinted glasses at every window. So when you look out the window, nothing hurts your eyes. You don’t see...
Since writing my article about not coping with life , I have tried to make things a little more ok, by doing things a little differently. I realised one of my BIGGEST issue’s was stress. I am still struggling with it today, but I’m working on some changes here they are . 1. Make your home a peaceful environment Having “stuff” everywhere is EXTREMLY overwhelming it clouds your mind which makes it...
I will start with this quote (not sure of the author): Judging someone does not define the person they are. It defines the person you are. Judgement to me has always been an enemy – can’t stand it. But hey! saying that I am human, I am an animal, and animals categorize it’s apart of our makeup. We quickly need to work out who is friend and who is foe. So of course I will never stand here and say...
