Hi everyone,
Apologies I haven't been active on here, to be honest, I haven't been keeping too well.
As most of you know I had my baby girl in September 2023, I'll be honest, life has been extremely tough since. I went from working 30 hours a week, to 9 hours a week due to childcare, with the same client load. For the last year I have been fighting a losing battle, I kept battling through and trying my best to get work done, but it always seemed 1 step forward, and 2 steps back. This led to my mental heath declining to the point, I almost wasn't here. In June last year, I finally reached out for help, and was signed off work from the doctors, I was in a really bad place mentally, suffering from severe depression and PPA. In any other line of work it's not so bad, but with accounts, everything has a deadline , and if the deadlines not met, HMRC issue fines. I let down alot of my clients as I couldn't get the work done, and I whole heartedly apologies for this, but it couldn't be helped, I had to take time away to try and get better, I had a few people reach out and offer to help, Michelle, Denise and Hazel ❤️ but I physically couldn't get myself to open my laptop and send over work to be done, it put me in such a panick , it felt like the world was going to end if I did, I was in what's called a freeze, it's took a long long time to get me out of that freeze, to not feel overwhelmed, and to realise, it's ok, nothing bads going to happen.
I have built my business up the last 5 years from literally nothing, to a sustainable, successful business, but last year it all fell apart, no matter how hard I tried. 6 months later, and with alot of help and support, I'm now in the best place I have been mentally in the last year. I feel like I can breath again, and I'm ready to get back to work and make my business a success again, and make things right again!
I don't remember much from last year as my brain was under so much stress, but I'm pretty sure I have still missed things for clients, if this applies to you, please send me a message, and i will rectify any outstanding work needing done. I'm not taking on any new clients at the moment, as I'm still playing catch up with having months off. I need to have my own clients accounts upto date and running smoothly again, this doesn't apply to anyone I have done work for before, new clients only.
Life gets tough sometimes, but the rain don't last forever ❤️
I didn't want to put this post up, but I can't keep messaging everyone individually explaining my situation, so this was the easiest way.
To all my clients, I honestly can't thank you enough for your patience, support and understanding ❤️🙏 and I promise this year, normal service will resume, and I will be back on my game ❤️
My working days at the office are a Tuesday and Thursday 🙏 I will reply to all messages tomorrow.
I wish you all an amazing and successful 2025 ❤️
Thanks for reading
Ahakera ❤️❤️
