Navigating Adulthood – One Obsessive Thought at a Time
Okay, so I’m assuming that by already reading this title you’re pissing yourself laughing. “Ames, you’ve stated many times you hate kids!” Yes, yes I have. I hated them even more when I was fifteen. Yet, I still picked Child Development as a GCSE. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps I unconsciously… Continue reading Lessons From the Classroom – Child Development
Today, I’m talking about the things I’ve learned since getting diagnosed with OCD. Of course, I realise now that I’ve suffered with OCD for way longer than I realised, but these are things that I’ve learned over the years since getting my diagnosis in 2016, and more importantly, since the start of the pandemic. I… Continue reading Lessons I’ve Learned From Having Contamination OCD
Anyone who’s followed my blog for a while will know I have OCD, but for those who are new followers, here's a little back story. I have OCD. It’s largely based around contamination fears (obvs bags of fun being in a pandemic), but I also struggle with compulsive checking and intrusive thoughts. I believe my… Continue reading Things OCD Has Genuinely Made Me Think
To all the people thinking “for fuck sake, she’s written ANOTHER post about her cat,” you’re not going to like this. This coming Sunday the 8th August is International Cat Day, so I thought I’d share a little something in honour of the occasion. A post about the little tiger in my house with many… Continue reading One For the Cat Mums | International Cat Day 2021
If you’ve been with my blog for a while now, you’ll know that I’m a fan of Grey’s Anatomy. It was a show that I didn’t get into until a good 10 years after the first season aired, but ever since, it’s been a show that I’ve loved. It’s become an obsession and a show… Continue reading Grey’s Anatomy Scenes That Emotionally Shattered Me Part 1 (Seasons 1-6)
This is a post I’ve been wanting to write for a while, and given that (at the time of writing) restrictions here in the UK have been lifted (many of us would argue it’s been done too early), now is probably a good time. Plus, after being pinged by the NHS app, I’m currently in… Continue reading 4 Things We Should Take Away From the Covid-19 Pandemic
Strap in because it’s time for another round of Lessons From the Classroom! Today, I’m taking a look back over what used to be my favourite subject - art. Don’t worry, you’ll find out why it’s no longer my favourite subject soon enough. I should also point out that I am writing this COMPLETELY sober.… Continue reading Lessons From the Classroom – Art
When I was a kid, I had regular obsessions with different movies. Yes, I’m aware, I was a weird little thing even back then. Anyway, it got me thinking about a new series, where I look at some of the films that filled my childhood. There were certainly lots of Disney films in there, don’t… Continue reading Chicken Run | Films From My Childhood
This was never a post I expected to write, but I guess a lot of us didn’t expect the events of the last 18+ months to happen, so maybe this sort of post is going to be more common than I expected. Anyway, WTF am I banging on about? If you’ve only just joined my… Continue reading Reviewing My 30 Before 30
At the time of writing, it’s been almost a week since I had my Covid-19 vaccine. It was an oddly emotional experience and I genuinely don’t remember the last time I felt as excited as I did when I was queuing at my local centre. Which is weird, because if you go right back to… Continue reading Why I Changed My Mind on Getting the Covid-19 Vaccine
