The Last Chapter of 2014: The Reflection

Hi there folks, so they year is quickly coming to a close and it's another chapter to add to our stories and I thought I'd look over all the things that have happened to me over this year. I think I might try and do this month by month but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to be able to review my year like this...

January: 

After months of feeling extremely depressed, my medication had been changed in December and I finally begun to feel the benefits of the new medication and started to feel a little bit more like myself. I also:

  • The Rebecca Braybrook Show hit its four month anniversary and started being broadcast online. My mum was my first online listener and it made her cry!
  • I had my first kiss: don't really want to cover this one too much but it happened.
  • I did my charity interview for the year with the lovely Anthony King from Southend and Essex Mind in the hopes to raise some awareness for mental health issues.
  • I had a Starbucks date with my college class and although it scared the hell out of me, I did it.
  • Got mistaken as a Radio 1 presenter! (Need I say more?!?!)
