Accomplishments.

I raised 800 dollars for the Beyond Blue Depression initiative charity as part of the City to Surf run.

I told everyone at my place of work and also in the local running community that I suffer from depression and anxiety.

I came third in the Australia Masters Athletics 10000m championships in Perth AG 45-49

I ran 5 Half Marathons best time 88:13, and won a bronze team medal at the NSW Half Marathons Championships.

Ran 39:17 & 39:31 for 10km, my first times sub 40 as a master.

I ran the Coastal Classic in Royal National Park, the longest run of my life. It took 4 hours to complete.

My photos of local fun runs were published in Run for Your Life Magazine.

I worked well as a team with other colleagues on a botanical project. I did 51 floristic sites, discovering new populations of rare plant species, I developed a vegetation classification with over 520 communities in it, and I stratified over 600 sites.

I managed to give a eulogy at my father's funeral and no one noticed my anxiety.


Failures .

Let a year long misunderstanding about my anxiety effect my health to the point of almost breaking down. I did however stand up for myself, and responded positively to spitefullness shown to me, and refused to be misrepresented.

I have had many days of uncertainty and anger about my future. Lots of paranoia about my future. Days worrying about the events that led to my melt down in July.

My anxiety talking to people has become very much worse. I still avoid certain situations.

I didn't get to say a proper goodbye to my father who died in May.
