Preparing For the Second Coming Of the Invisible Surveyor

On 4th Sep 2026 By Absurd RhioIn mental health awareness, Recovery Updates, Uncategorized1 Comment

Significant anaemia, an invisible surveyor, and an attempted betrayal of the sacred pistachio-crème snack plate: this week has been a lot. Between cleaning, iron tablets, cluster headaches, and a late-night chaos-goblin incident, I’m learning that recovery means rest, fuel, Minecraft ambience, and refusing to make cereal happen.

The Day Nothing Felt Ordinary

On 9th May 2026 By Absurd RhioIn Recovery Updates, Weekly Updates11 Comments

Sometimes when I wake up, my anxiety wakes up first. Before I’ve even opened my eyes my brain is already spiralling about weight, Welsh elections, quantum mechanics and whether Biscoff spread contains enough energy to power a small nation. By the end of the day, seagulls, Starbucks and my son helped ground me again.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
