My name is Andy. I am in my forties and turn 50 in December 2024. I have had an interesting and challenging life. Some things have gone well for me, others haven't. I am still alive despite some situations which really could have been more than enough to finish me off, and, slightly ironically, I lost my younger brother very suddenly and unexpectedly to a brain haemorrhage, just a month before my 40th birthday. So life has not been easy at times.
I have had particular challenges in the areas of relationships, friendships, career and finances, which probably stem from my childhood. It's not been an easy journey to change my life, but I have learned a lot. I've had plenty of times when I feel insecure, when I react emotionally to being triggered, when I feel that life has given me a hard deal.
I had a brutal and devastating mental breakdown in 2024 which nearly finished me but has ended up waking me up a bit and caused me to rebuild my life from scratch. I have become more aware of my ADHD and autism tendencies, and the challenges that come with that. The blog as it is now will largely be covering life from this perspective as I strive to rebuild.
Some other facts about me:
I was born in Manchester, grew up in Dorset, lived in the north of England for 17 years and returned to beautiful Dorset in 2024.
I love reading, music, football, travelling, photography, animals and, of course, writing.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
