Navigating Adulthood – One Obsessive Thought at a Time
Well, what naïve little shits we were this time last year, right? “Oh it’ll all be over in 2021,” “by Christmas next year it will have all gone” - fucking hell. Sorry for starting off on a negative note, but honestly, I think I speak for everyone when I say that the current situation with… Continue reading 2021 in Review
It’s that time of year where I put together my list of futile attempts to better myself for the new year. Looking back at last year’s, I haven’t done all that well in 2019. I’m hoping that 2020 will be the year I actually make some progress with my resolutions and improve my mental health,… Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions for 2020
I can’t believe we’re officially coming to the end of 2019. It only feels like yesterday I was writing my 2018 in Review post, which just so happened to be my first ever post on Sassy Cat Lady. It’s so cliché to say that the time has flown by, but it really has done this… Continue reading 2019 in Review
Today is the second instalment of my post "Breaking Up with Psychology." If you haven’t yet got a chance to read my first post, you can catch up here. The Final Result My exam results gradually came in while I was waiting for my dissertation results. It was looking really good, and my hard work… Continue reading Breaking Up with Psychology | Part 2
Looking at where I am now, it’s hard to believe that I once had dreams to become a therapist. 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
When I was first looking at ideas for my blog, this was one of the suggestions that kept popping up. I've attempted to write this a few times, but I struggled. What age did I write to? Was I writing to prepare them for what was to come or was I writing to them to… Continue reading A Letter to My Younger Self (2019)
It’s official - I’m now 27. My birthday has been and gone. But what a fabulous day it was (until the end, but I’ll get to that later). It was definitely my best birthday for quite a few years - I saw everyone I wanted to, I had some great presents, and my husband bought… Continue reading 27
The 4th May 2019 is my 27th birthday. I’ve learned a few lessons over the years, some of which are quite important, some of which are just little things I’ve picked up. So for a special birthday post, I’ve compiled a list of 27 things I’ve learned in my 27 years. Enjoy, and maybe even… Continue reading 27 Lessons
I listen to a lot of music. However, most people will probably tell you that my tastes are quite eclectic. I have a bit of everything in my Spotify library. I have the cheesiest pop you can imagine, some classic rock songs and some modern day chart stuff, and that’s just the tip of the… Continue reading Ten Songs (2019 Version)
March 2019 is my discharge-iversary. Is that a thing? Probably not. But two years ago, on the 17th March 2017, I had my final CBT session to date. To most, it probably wouldn’t be considered a big deal, and to some of you reading, it probably wouldn’t be either. But at the time, I had… Continue reading 2 Years
