Welcome!
I should probably start off the blog with an introduction of who I am, and why I thought it would be beneficial to start a blog.
My name is Rosina, but most people just call me Rosie. I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Portsmouth studying Psychology. I am 20 years old, and I would say, during my short life span, I've had some experiences that have changed my life forever. I will save these experiences for another post, but resulting from these events (with a combination of genetic predisposition of course) I have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD).
It's coming up to roughly a year since my diagnosis, and it feels a lot harder now than it did then. I'm not sure why but I believed that once you make the first step to getting better, it can only go up, but it doesn't I have now realised.
I am creating this blog (with an Instagram account to follow) in the hopes that I can help myself, while also helping overs who may be in a similar position. My posts won't be perfect, they may not be frequent, but they will be raw and honest about what's going on and how I am attempting to deal with it.
I hope this swift introduction gives you an idea of what is to come! I can promise you now, it will not all be doom and gloom.
