THE MASHED BANANA
From gloom to bloom. The chase for joy and happiness that is changing my life
My latest Blog posts...
It's great to meet you
The stars have aligned! A big thank you for being here and for reading my blog.
I'm Victoria, or 'Mashed Banana' as my mum likes to call me - especially in crowded places - and I am determined to live a big, bold, joyful life.
The picture you see of me was taken back in 2023, just after I was diagnosed with severe depression and burnout. It got that bad that I damaged my prefrontal cortex so I couldn’t make a decision or think, and enlarged my amygdala, leaving me in a constant state of excruciating anxiety.
Whilst it brought my whole world to a screeching halt, it also woke me up from a beautiful life that I was sleep walking through and was incredibly bloody humbling.
From a dark place, like a phoenix I am rising from the ashes (with a few bumps on my way up) and want to share how I am now living fully, by challenging society's pressures and placing all of my bets on chasing Joy.
Thanks for joining me,
Vic x
