Month in Review(s) - April 2017

(Warning: this post discusses depression, and has brief references to suicidal thoughts.)

April started sh**ty for yours truly - as you'll know if you read my March wrap-up, I've been having depression problems again.

So March wasn't too good, and April started out not too good.

But I went to the doctor, who put my tablet dose up, and things are starting to look up.

I've only been on this new dose for just over a week... but man, I feel so much better. I hate it that people are so anti-meds. I'm still alive because of those tablets.

And I can think again.

When my depression's bad, it's a huge struggle to concentrate and think things through, as I've discussed before. So the reason I've not blogged as much lately is very much due to my depression problems.

It's frustrating - the way I've tried to describe it to my family is that it's like trying to find something in your house... when you've forgotten about the existence of the room that that thing is in.

Suddenly, I can remember the room again, and it's like, how did I ever forget it?

Maybe that's a random-a** metaphor, but *shrugs* meh.

One big thing this month blog-wise is that you can now support me and DORA on ko-fi.

That means you can buy me a coffee (metaphorically!) by giving a micro-donation of £3.00 - the price of an average coffee.

You can use the button below, or the button in the sidebar, to support yours truly :)

Reviews-wise, I reviewed four books this month, which you can see below:

A Golden Age by Tahmima Anam

Hope you all have a good May my dearest nerdlets! :)
