Planning a Wedding When You Have OCD: An Honest Account

If you’ve been following my blog over the last few months, you’ll know that my anxiety played a pretty big part when it came to planning my wedding. While I was yet to be diagnosed for another year, looking back, it’s become apparent that the severe wedding anxiety I was experiencing was actually morphing into… Continue reading Planning a Wedding When You Have OCD: An Honest Account

Disneyland | My Anxious Travels

Regular readers of my blog will know that my anxiety doesn’t always behave itself when I go on trips, and I… Continue reading Disneyland | My Anxious Travels

Going to Disneyland as a Grown Ass, Child Hating Adult | 30 Before 30

Hello friends! I’m officially back after a little blogging break. Okay, it wasn’t really a blogging break as I was writing right up until the Sunday I left for my trip, but I’ve tried to make sure I didn’t spend too much time on WordPress or Twitter while I was away. Anyway, as you will… Continue reading Going to Disneyland as a Grown Ass, Child Hating Adult | 30 Before 30

The One Where We Went to FriendsFest | 30 Before 30

It's been a while since I've done anything on my 30 Before 30 List. However, as I’m writing this, we’ve just got home after a day at FriendsFest. Let’s face it, a hot day, loads of crowds and touching a load of photo props that other people have touched doesn’t sound like my ideal day… Continue reading The One Where We Went to FriendsFest | 30 Before 30

House Drama: What the Actual F Has Been Going On

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

How to Pass a Driving Test: My Tips for Anxious Learners

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. I remember sitting in a car and… Continue reading How to Pass a Driving Test: My Tips for Anxious Learners

Lessons I Learned After Graduation

Every year when I see students walking around Bath in their graduation gowns, it always gets me reflecting on the period after my graduation. It was a period that I struggled with immensely, the reasons which will become apparent as you read on, and part of me wishes that I could sit 21 year old… Continue reading Lessons I Learned After Graduation

Why Medication Was the Best Decision I Ever Made

In June 2016, I reluctantly made the decision to start taking medication for my OCD. Of course this is something that I’ve openly discussed throughout my mental health related posts, but I haven’t actually talked about the reasons why I left it for so long. So, for today’s post, I wanted to talk a little… Continue reading Why Medication Was the Best Decision I Ever Made

My Little Tiger: Meet Tilly

I first met Tilly in October 2013, but it was a good month before we brought her home. She was fostered by a lady that my Mum knew from school, who worked for Cats Protection. My Mum drove me over there one evening where I met a litter of four little fluffy tabby kittens. They… Continue reading My Little Tiger: Meet Tilly

4 Days in Madeira | My Anxious Travels

So, after telling you about the flight, I thought I’d fill you in on what happened during my holiday to Madeira. We only booked it a week before we were actually due to go, so it was all rather rushed, but I think overall we did quite a lot in the 4 days that we… Continue reading 4 Days in Madeira | My Anxious Travels
