lulupetals is a mental health and lifestyle blog. It's mostly about my stories and experiences with mental illness, but includes some sociopolitical topics and lifestyle entries - with additional pages to appear soon. Best reading platform is the PC, as the Mobile version omits all keywords/labels and my entries are so long. Please read "On privacy" about EU privacy and cookies laws ; "Intro" & "blog manual" to navigate.

123- The blog is 6 months old!...
My wife had been nagging me to create a blog...for months on end I replied that I had nothing to talk about, that I didn't wish to do it - it was too much work to set up, and besides, no one would read me and I could never be regular about it...
After several months, I caved in : I first created a blog reviewing books, movies & tv shows. It evolved greatly and ended having its mirror in French... they are both over a year old now (14 months, almost!)
And... after I had a lot of difficulties with my first CBT(cognitive behavioral therapy), feeling worse than I was before I'd started it, and at a loss, I gave a second thought to my wife's suggestion.
I came to realize that maybe there were other people suffering from social anxieties and also had difficulties finding proper support and therapy. This gave birth to this blog, which I expanded greatly and celebrated 6 months yesterday.
During these past 182 days I had posted a total of 121 posts, thus being far more regular that I ever hoped for : 66.4% of each day, I post... Ok, this isn't always true, as I tend to post in chunks, but the end result is still the same.
I never thought to get here, I never wanted to have one blog, yet along 5 of them!
Did I say FIVE ?? - Yes, because I have 1 for mental health, you are reading it now- and it has its mirror in French just like the aforementioned review blog.
Added to those 4, I have another, smaller blog, that I birthed last year, and is dedicated to music that I listen to - or rather, musics... because I like far too many, but lack the time and energy to post as much as I want there as I did over here. It'll get its expansion, though... it's bound to happen.
This blog here, however, is my main one : this is the one maintain most regularly and here I discuss about :
Mental health - mostly for my experiences in social anxieties, many phobias, my CBT ; I also review a few books in mental health, and lastly a few social topics such as LGBTQ related issues.
I'll remind you that the aim isn't just to talk about myself, but also to create a dialogue, and I really appreciate comments or exchanges about any of the topics, and I also have a suggestion box.
If you want to know how to use this blog, the manual explains it.
I'll probably go on blogging for quite some time as I have a lot to work on... so you'll read more from me...
