The day after the walk before

One thing that always catches me out is the physical side to my mental illness. It is something that rarely gets talked about, for me this physical side can be anything from headaches, migraines, tension causing pain in my neck shoulders and back and extreme tiredness, the type of tiredness where I feel that my limbs have been filled with a mix of lead and mercury.

This physical side has caught up with me today, after the tension I felt yesterday I woke up this morning feeling like I'd not slept and had been hit by something very heavy. It was so tempting to just say sod it and hide, but I had to get up as I had a dentist appointment to replace a crown. I'm writing this been there and come back home, most of the walk I did on my own, and also managed to get a few photos taken, feeling lousy but at the same time realising that I have achieved something. I know it might not appear to be a big thing, its not a gold at the Olympics but for me it was as great a challenge.

There is no theme to the pictures I take, they are of things that catch my eye as I try to get out more on my way back to some normality. But often they will be of things that people walk by every day without noticing at all.
