I have come to quite a big decision today. After exactly a year on anti-depressants, I have decided to come off the Sertraline.

Tomorrow is National Album Day 2022, which the focus this year being on Debut albums. For a minnow like me and Fields of Dawn it means little in reality. In fact I could even get a single response from any independent record stores as far as selling A new Dawn goes. So the one-man marketing approach continues as I try to sell a few more copies to take the fundraising past £1000.

It was on this day one year ago that I called the doctors surgery regarding my mental health, finally admitting that I needed help with depression and anxiety. That same day I signed up for Talking Therapy and began taking Sertraline, which I am still taking.

I was reminded today by a number posts on social media, and this is something that happens most days, if not every day, just how amazing the bowel cancer community is. So many people going through the most difficult of times (i.e utter shit) still give out so much support to others.

I am currently revamping the Stop Bowel Cancer Teddies. These were the first cuddly animal I launched 4 years ago and hundreds have been sold in that time raising a sizeable amount of funds for Bowel Cancer UK. These new bears are bigger and come without the shirt with the printing going directly onto the bear.
My Mental Health 1 Year On

However, more good news with the music release. Overnight I received my first order from Australia, and then this morning the amount raised went past £900, which considering I am doing this all myself is quite amazing and a testament to the wonderful support I continue to get for my fundraising. This brings the £1000 mark as the next figure on the horizon, but I think this is genuinely possible now.

Lunchtime walks at work have been a thing of the past since Prince was diagnosed with his seven slipped discs almost 5 years ago. I used to get out on the farm fields sometimes three times a day. It was always such a welcome break during the work and so good for my soul not to mention my physical health.

This Christmas the reindeer are getting a revamp. Poodolph supporting Bowel Cancer UK and #14 supporting Love Hope Strength will both be back albeit in this new style. Joining them will be a third reindeer, Angel, who will allow you to have the profits from your order donated to the charity of your choice.

It’s been quite an interesting and eventful day. I have said on a number of occasions how helpful the photos I receive from people with their copies of A New Dawn are. On the back of receiving these two photos today more sales came through.
