Navigating Adulthood – One Obsessive Thought at a Time
It’s back! It’s been a while, but today I’m bringing back my insane Normal People fangirl blog. Yes, I’m aware that the world has essentially moved on since then, and that many have moved onto Bridgerton now, but not me. Yes, before you ask, I’m still watching it. Well, I got the DVD for Christmas… Continue reading Crazy Lady Watches Normal People: Episodes 3 & 4
It’s hard to believe I’m on part seven of my Therapy Diaries series. Take from that what you will - I’ve had A LOT of therapy. Anyway, at the present time, this is going to be the last in the series! During my last instalment, we actually rewound a few years and went back to… Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 7 | High Intensity CBT
My regular readers will know I write a post in honour of Cervical Cancer Prevention Week every year, and this year is no different. Cervical cancer awareness charity Jo’s Trust are at the forefront of the #SmearForSmear campaign every year, encouraging women to attend their cervical screening (aka. Smear test). It’s a simple, routine test… Continue reading Cervical Screening Myths Explained | 5 Common Misconceptions
I debated whether or not to put together some goals for 2021. Not only did most of us end up writing off our goals for 2020, but we entered the new year with such uncertainty behind it (although as I write this, the UK is set for ANOTHER national lockdown at midnight), so it didn’t… Continue reading My Goals for 2021
Well, 2020 has been a sack of shit, hasn’t it? I’m sure I’m not the only one who can’t wait to see the back of this utter ballsack of a year - and reading back through my 2019 review, pretty much everything I mentioned in my ‘hopes for 2020’ section got cancelled...but you know, 2020. … Continue reading 2020 in Review
At the time of first writing this post, I was on my fourteenth watch through of Normal People. Don’t judge me. I did what I could to get through the infinite lockdowns we had during the pandemic. In my case, that was putting myself through the intense emotional trauma that is Normal People, while counteracting… Continue reading Crazy Lady Watches Normal People: Episodes 1 & 2
My regulars will remember that I recently launched a spin-off to my Therapy Diaries series, where I look back through my notes from my group therapy sessions in my final year of university. This was part of my counselling module that aimed to develop self awareness and to also practice the basic skills we would… Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 6 | The University Years Part 2
We were very late to the party discovering Parks & Recreation. It was a show that we only discovered about two years ago, and as two people that were used to the classic sitcom set-up, it was certainly strange getting used to the mockumentary style the show is set in. Despite that, it’s since become… Continue reading Ten of My Favourite Parks & Recreation Moments
I recently brought back The Therapy Diaries - looking into my experiences of the different forms of therapy I’ve had over the years. In the last instalment, I wrote about the long waits and numerous assessments I had before I finally had my CBT for OCD. However, today, I’m going to rewind a little -… Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 6 | The University Years
It’s been a while since I did an OCD-covid related check-in, so I thought with it being OCD Awareness Week this week, it would be an idea to post one. A lot has happened since my last OCD update - I’ve been getting out a lot more, I’ve seen a few more friends and fam,… Continue reading Contamination OCD & the Coronavirus Pandemic: Surely It Should Be Over By Now?
