Just wanted to blog

Hey guys, 

Feels like ages since I last blogged, its been a few very busy weeks. 

To start this blog off, I wanted to say i've been a lot more positive about things and wanting to do more to help myself and to stop feeling down about things, i'm not saying I don't have a down day or I don't get bored of things, in which I still do but I feel calmer about things and doing more without feeling down or fed up, its about doing things without negative thoughts behind them and then it was more enjoyable.

In April I faced one of my biggest fears that was making me feel down, I spent 3 days at a disabled college called National Star and it literally made me think about how I enjoy being independent and the life skills I never had before. This was a very daunting moment in my life but it made me realise that I am capable of more than I was doing. It also made me realise how much I do and how far I have came.

Back at sixth form, I have  become a lot more positive about being there and changed my attitude towards my work. I took the attitude that I have only got a few more months there so I need to make the most of what I have left there. It has been a lot more easier and I have been more happier about being there.

I have learnt that if you're not happy about something, all that you need to do is change the way you look at something. It has proven that you get a lot more done and achieved when you're happier.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog,

Abbie xx

Slowly approaching the next stage of life

Hey guys Thought this blog may help others that are starting to think about coming to the end of school, sixth form, college, uni etc and have worries or fears about starting a chapter in life. I am in my last year at sixth form and starting to think about what is best for me in terms of needs, skills, learning to work with a wider range of people etc. I don't know about others but I worry about going somewhere new, meeting new people and adapting to their way of working. It scares the hell out of me but how I look at it is I am there to widen my own knowledge and skills to better myself for the future. Has anyone got to the school gates or waiting for a interview for college or uni etc and thought I don't want to be here, lets face it we all have been in similar situations. I remember sitting in a meeting to start sixth form and felt physically sick and was thinking will I be ok to do the course? will I get along with the people... 2 years on sixth form feels like my secon...

Get Over Yourself...We're Only Disabled! Part 25

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled ! Hey my lovely readers. I hope you are well.  Acknowledgements   Well, what can I say? I can't believe I have written my first book!  It took me a whole year to write this, with support from staff at National Star College and my family.  I thought writing a book would be really difficult and I would have just given up over time but despite amending how many chapters I wanted in this book, I achieved what I wanted to get out of writing a book. I must admit that I haven't worked on “Get Over Yourself, We’re Only Disabled” religiously.  However, it has been refreshing to have a goal to work towards.  Something that can be my thing, my aim, and my success.  I feel that I have achieved that. I want to say a massive thank you to my family for helping me over the years to get to this point where I’ve been able to write this book and have the knowledge and understanding of my life and mine...

Up Movement, The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement Hi my lovely readers, hope you are well. I know after I finished posting my book, I wasn't sure on what to post on my blog. So I decided to have a little break to think about what I could post about but I really wanted to come back with a special idea for my blogs, I wanted to talk about what is interesting me lately. I attend a Zoom meeting each week with a lovely organisation called UP movement, a group set up by an amazing lady called Emma and then another brilliant lady called Mirriam. Emma has Cerebral Palsy herself, so that in its self is really lovely as it gives others a sense of achievement and encouragement, just to learn about her journey with Cerebral Palsy. Emma is incredible, she has Cerebral Palsy, however she is a wife and a mother, she is the founder of Up Movement and a strong advocate and a voice for people with Cerebral Palsy.    The people who attend are adults with Cerebral Palsy, so this ...
