Navigating Adulthood – One Obsessive Thought at a Time
Rewritten from 21 January 2019 - formerly Lessons I Learned at University When I first wrote this post in 2019, it’s safe to say that I was pretty bitter. Of all the universities in England, I had personal beef with the University of Northampton thanks to a pretty negative three years and subsequent bout of… Continue reading Lessons I Learned at University – 10 Years On
Back in June 2019, when I was a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed new blogger on the scene, I wrote one of my most successful posts - a letter to my younger self. It was a prompt I kept seeing when searching for content ideas, and I kept putting it off. I wasn’t sure about the logistics.… Continue reading Another Letter to My Younger Self

I hate 90% of the general public and I have a whole batch of my own issues that would single handedly make any therapist sorted financially for life. Over the years I’ve dipped in and out… Continue reading Breaking Up with Psychology | Part 1
So, at the beginning of the year when I started my blog, my husband and I were planning on being in our new house by this time now. Unfortunately, that never happened. After far too many delays and being hugely messed around, the possibility of our new house disappeared. Back in February, I mentioned very… Continue reading House Drama: What the Actual F Has Been Going On
In September 2021, it will have been ten years since I passed my driving test. I know, I can't believe it either. I had my first driving lesson in May 2009, but I didn't actually pass my test until September 2011, two weeks before my theory test expired.
