Why I Took a Week Off From Blogging.

Hey everyone :)

I kind of took a break from blogging and I thought I'd explain why.

In the wake of the Manchester attacks, I've been feeling very anxious and saddened by what happened. There are no words to express how upset I am by what happened, nor can I even begin to understand how it must be affecting people who were there, those who are injured and the poor families of those who died.

I suffer from anxiety, and hearing about something like this at a concert - something I often attend, and hearing the that the threat level has been raised is terrifying me. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't at the event nor do I live anywhere near Manchester but it keeps making me think "What if that was me?"

I haven't been able to fully concentrate on my blog since the attack, nor much else in all honesty. I live near a military base, so I have that constant fear in my head. I heard a helicopter go over head, followed by a siren and I swear my heart jumped out of my chest.

There is a part of me that finds those anxieties to be completely ridiculous, but at the same time, it isn't uncalled for. I feel a bit more relaxed knowing we have armed police and the army patrolling the streets - but at the same time, that's scary too.

I'm kind of rambling with this post, so I apologise. I just wanted to let you all know why it's been so quiet on the blog. I'm going to try my hardest to get back into blogging, but I can't promise it will be regular until I've gotten over my fears.

One thing that I do want to mention is how the heartbreaking atrocities in Manchester has made me realize that although I do have depression, anxiety and a hip problems... I'm so incredibly lucky. I have an amazing family, a wonderful boyfriend and great friends. I'm going to try my hardest to not let anything make me take them for granted.

I love all my readers, thank you for being part of the Nyxie Rose family and sticking by me.

Xo Nyxie.
