I've been watching the news this morning and seen an item about a scheme called "Kissing it Better"www.kissingitbetter.co.uk. it details the work of local individuals, schools and businesses who go into hospitals and interact with the patients. It was a very moving piece, and I can see how these interactions would be beneficial to patients, not only at Christmas, which for some can be a very lonely time, but throughout the year.
I am knitting myself back to health and happiness following contracting viral meningitis in June 2012. I enjoy knitting as it is something I can carry around with me. My background is in psychology and artificial intelligence and forensic psychology, and am looking to make the move into teaching. This blog is intended as somewhere to share the trials and tribulations of knitting, but also the little known recovery stages of viral meningitis.

I've been away... and now I'm back
I haven't blogged for a while. There has been quite a lot going on. As I had mentioned in an earlier post I was about to go back to work; or was looking to discuss my return to work... Well on that case, I returned to work and due to restructuring I was made redundant. I know, close to Christmas many would consider this to be a bad thing. However, I am taking the positive stance and considering this instead to be a chance for me to try something new. So my something new is I am looking to get into teaching - secondary schools. Watch this space!
On the knitting front, the knitting has been keeping me going. I have completed a hat; and I have completed a coat for a Chihuahua!
On my personal feelings front. I'm a little up and down to be honest. For the first time I saw my diagnosis written down in black and white. "Anxiety and Depression" it never seemed real until that moment and it shocked me. I feel a lot of the time I am writing what has already been written by someone else, but at the same time I don't know how to really put into words how I feel. Confused I think covers it!
