January 2010
It all started about a month before my 39th birthday in January, 2010. Up until then I was not certain what I really wanted from life or who I actually was. I was getting angry and frustrated with myself and was taking this out on other people, especially my wife and son. I was becoming very angry, very, very depressed and was not enjoying life at all. It had reached a stage where I had to sort this problem out or, well, I do not want to imagine what the alternative would be.
My first solution was to go to the docs to get some tablets to calm me down and help me sleep, but this would be my last resort as I preferred to solve this using more natural methods rather than polluting my body with poisons. I did try herbal remedies but they did not help.
Then, at the start of January 2010, my wife discovered a website offering courses in Mindfulness Meditation. I was very dubious and sceptical, but after a few emails to the teacher, Vicki, about the course I convinced myself to go along and try it out. It was a drop in course where you paid on the night so I didn't have to commit myself to anything. So off I went on the Wednesday night, 20th January, to Insole Court in Cardiff with an open mind and not too sure what to expect.
