Introduction For A New Readership!

Forever Enduring Cycles was my second blog, written between November 2015 and January 2016. It documents my recovery from a Bipolar Relapse and the final few months living in Britain, before our departure for Spain. They were difficult times for me and I have only now started to reread my blog entries from this time. Looking back at a period I would rather forget is hard; as I read through the entries, I hope to assess their validity and connect the words, with my life today. 

While writing this introduction, many memories have come flooding back, I am mindful of what I was going through towards the end of 2015. The writing is at times rambling; raw, written from the heart, which can reflect negatively. The honest thing for me to state now, is the severe pressure and strain I was under, exacerbated by circumstances, recovery and realisation; a frightening existence, one I never thought I would see the end of. Not only was I dealing with a breakdown, I was also trying to survive bullying in the work place, at Oxfam and the pain of leaving the Country I loved, moving to Spain. My words reflect my feelings, from an altogether different time.

In this section of my blog, 'Spanish Views' I aim to relive those moments, reproducing 'Forever Enduring Cycles' here for a new readership to enjoy. The words will be the same, untouched, the dates will mirror those when they were written, but I will add any footnotes, I consider relevant today. 'Forever Enduring Cycles' the original blog will remain published, but will also sit quite happily in this, its own section of 'Spanish Views,' as a reminder of those frantic few months, before we left for our new life in Spain!
