I just wanted to apologise for the lack of content on my page recently. Unfortunately I had to go through an emergency major surgery, but I’m finally back home now and slowly recovering. ❤️
Life can change in a moment, and the last little while has definitely reminded me how fragile things can be. But being home now means I’m ready to start continuing with my page again.
With my I’m Fine page, I want to keep things real and authentic. Life isn’t always perfect, and I think it’s important to show that. There are ups and downs, struggles and good days, and that’s just part of being human. I still have my own struggles with mental health, and I’m not afraid to be honest about that.
I also said before that I wanted to speak more openly about the domestic abuse I went through, and the impact it had on my life and my children. For a long time I felt embarrassed and afraid to talk about it because of the possible consequences. But I’m now at a place where I feel able to speak about it openly and honestly.
If sharing my story and experiences can help even one person feel less alone, or give someone the courage to speak out when they’re ready, then it’s worth it.
This page will always be about keeping it real, supporting each other, and reminding people that no one’s life is perfect — and that it’s okay to not always be okay. ❤️

Hi guys 🤍
It’s been 5 years today since we laid Darren to rest. I still remember that day so clearly — the sun was shining, yet our hearts were so heavy 💔
Losing such a lovely man so young will never make sense. Time may pass, but the sadness and the love we carry for him remain. Darren didn’t see his worth, just like so many who struggle silently with their mental health. And that’s the hardest part — knowing someone so valued and loved couldn’t see what we saw.
That day changed me. It reminded me how fragile life can be, and how important it is to keep talking, keep reaching out, and keep supporting one another. Five years on, I still carry Darren in my heart, and I still feel that determination to make a difference in his memory.
If anything, today is a reminder that we never truly know what someone is battling behind closed doors. Be kind. Check in. Say the things you mean.
Thinking of Darren and sending love to everyone who still feels his loss 🤍

⚠️ This might be triggering

For a long time, I felt too weak to speak up. The fear and stress of what I was going through took a toll, and I became seriously ill with depression.
Leaving an abusive situation is never easy, and it often takes multiple attempts. On average, it can take 7 tries to finally break free. This is not a sign of weakness — it reflects the control and fear abuse creates.
I’m sharing this to be honest about my journey, to show that it’s okay to struggle, and to remind anyone in a similar situation that you are not alone, and support is available. 💛

⚠️ Important fact about domestic abuse

It’s often misunderstood, but leaving an abusive relationship is not simple. On average, it takes 7 attempts for someone to leave an abuser.
This isn’t a sign of weakness — it reflects the control, fear, and manipulation that abuse creates. Each attempt is a step toward safety and healing.
If you or someone you know is in this situation, remember: you are not failing, and help is available. 💛

Over the years, I stayed quiet about my experiences. I was scared, I felt I had to hide, and I needed time to heal.
Now, I feel it’s time to speak out. I can share my story without feeling sad all the time, and I want to use my voice to help others who might be going through similar experiences.
It’s never easy to open up, but I hope by sharing, I can offer support, understanding, and a reminder that no one has to face these things alone. 💛

⚠️ This might be triggering

I was over the moon to be pregnant — finally starting the family I had always dreamed of.
While I was heavily pregnant, he threatened to drive me into a wall. I was terrified and shocked — I’d never experienced anything like it. He drove so recklessly the seatbelt bruised me.
The moment I got out, I ran inside and called a friend 🧡.
Looking back, this was the first of what we now call “red flags.” At the time, I had no idea these things actually happened or what they meant.
I’m sharing this not to dwell on the past, but to speak my truth, shine a light on the reality of domestic abuse, and remind anyone going through this that it’s okay to reach out for help.
I know it’s hard to put these things out there, but I hope by sharing, I can help even one person feel less alone. 💛

I want to say something clearly — I am a survivor, not a victim.
Over the years, I’ve never spoken in depth about this, but I feel now is the time. When I look back, I can’t change the times I chose not to speak up. At the time, I felt I had to stay quiet. I felt I needed to hide. That was how I coped, how I survived.
Now, I’m ready to use my voice. I’ll be sharing my own personal experiences and speaking openly about how it impacted me and the children — and how it still affects us today.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about truth, growth, and strength. If my story helps even one person feel less alone, then it’s worth telling. 💛

Hey everyone,
I want to share that over the coming posts, I’ll be talking a lot about domestic violence and the impact it has on children — from my own experience. It’s a topic close to my heart, and I hope by sharing my story, it can help raise awareness, start important conversations, and maybe even support someone going through something similar.
This page has always been a personal space for me, and I’ll continue to share the real ups and downs — because that’s okay too. 💛

Hey everyone,
I’ve been feeling a bit low these past few months and struggling with my own mental health 😔. This page is personal to me — a place where I share not only the ups, but the downs too — and that’s okay. Mental health isn’t a straight path; it goes up and down, and that’s completely normal.
I just want to remind you (and myself) that it’s alright to have tough days, and it doesn’t make us any less strong. I’m here, still standing, and I hope all of you are taking care of yourselves too 💛.

I’m Fine.

Two of the hardest words to say honestly.
Sometimes “I’m fine” means
I’m tired.
I’m grieving.
I’m holding it together.
I’m trying my best.
This page was never about pretending. It was about creating a space where we don’t have to. A space where pain isn’t weakness, where tears aren’t shameful, and where strength looks like honesty.
Grief doesn’t disappear. Trauma doesn’t just fade. Anxiety doesn’t magically stop. But purpose can grow from pain. Connection can grow from honesty. And healing begins the moment we stop hiding behind “I’m fine.”
If today feels heavy for you, you’re not alone here.
If you’re exhausted from being strong, you can rest here.
If you’re not fine — you don’t have to pretend on this page.
Tell me one honest word about how you feel today.
You matter. Always. 💚

🌿 A Little Update From Me 🌿

I’ve been quieter on here recently, and I wanted to be honest about why.

Life has taken a really heavy turn. I’ve been coping with a bereavement, and my mom has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour. Some days I feel strong, but many days I’m just trying to hold myself together. And like so many of us do… when people ask if I’m okay, I find myself saying “I’m fine” — even when I’m anything but.

That’s why this page exists.
Because behind those two words, so many of us are carrying battles no one can see.

If you’re struggling too, please know you’re not alone. It’s okay to step back, to rest, to breathe. It’s okay to not be okay. And it’s more than okay to reach out.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and for being part of a space where honesty and healing matter. I’ll be posting again when I can, and until then, please look after yourselves — truly.

💛 You don’t have to pretend to be “fine.”
