I sat looking at the title ‘wellness’ and thought to my self, I don’t think I have felt ‘well’ for many, many years. I always seem to have some ache or pain, or I lack energy, or feel tired.

I actually can’t recall the last time I honestly woke up, after a refreshing nights sleep, sprang out of bed, felt energised for the day ahead, got through my day ‘happy’ without wingeing about one thing or another, got home, and felt energised enough in the evening to enjoy it, go to bed and have sex with my partner, to fall to sleep for another restful night!

Normally I wake up groggy, with a pain somewhere on my body, I look at myself in the mirror with extreme disappointment, drag myself to work, spend the whole day in a state of anxiety, frustration and knackeredness I come home, tired, barely able to function, eat tea, do nothing in the evening except look at social media or watch TV, then fell asleep about 8.30, sex is not even a thought, let alone an option!

What happened? Am I unique?
