Eenjoying the time out walking

Iv been taking my dog gussy for a walk then after I take gussy on a solo walk I then take 2 small dogs I am fostering g atm untill they have a home. all I know is they really love the nightly walks (even if they always go to the dog park every night lol) they get one on one time and I love to see all there personalities when they are apart from each other. my main dog is a lab cross staffie and he is such. a sweet boy, that has always wanted a friend that could live with us also. but these two smaller dogs kind of keep him at an arms length and I can tell that upsets ny gussy boy. im using these blogs as a reflection time after the walk and also like a entry where I can write whatever comes to my mind. I have lived with mental health my whole life and the one thing that has always help is writing how I feel down at the end of the day. I write about the things I did, things ppl had said to me , things I think about or I might just draw something and not write whole pages. when I was a young teenager I was in state care and my social worker at the time use to get me to write and when I finished writing in a book she would hold it and read it to understand what was going on for me as iv never been good at talking to ppl but I can express it in a song or u can write it down. that one social worker really kept me alive and kept me going. I see her as my parent in away. sadly she passed only 2 yrs ago. we kept in touch all the way up untill the end. thank you for the time . goodnight all Share

Walking for mental health and why

Im walking for mental health because i myself have mental health illnesses myself, plus my mother had alot of issues I noticed when I was ayoung child and still living with her my mental health has always made me feel like the black sheep in my family or the bad child. I could never handle my emotions, I couldn't explain what was going on inside my brain to let others know that I was not ok. my childhood felt "messy" due to my mental health and I would just like to let others know your not alone. thank you for taking the time to read Share
