I wasn't particularly expecting to write this post so soon, but if 2020 has been anything, it's been utterly batshit crazy. Earlier this year I mentioned that we had started proceedings into buying another house, and things just started moving again when coronavirus took a massive shit on all of our lives. I'll tell you … Continue reading A Very Last Minute Hiatus
Yes, it’s another one of those bloody letter-to-myself-in-the-past posts. Sorry. This was never actually on my content plan for the month, nor was it my intention to write another one of these letters, but if you’ve been listening to Scott Mills and Chris Stark on Radio 1 over the last couple of weeks, you’ll know … Continue reading A Letter To My 10 Year Old Self
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about live comedy, and how much of a role in plays in my life. Regular readers of my blog will know that Liam and I make regular trips to comedy gigs (you know, pre-covid of course) and last year we went to what was probably our record number of … Continue reading My Favourite Live Comedy Performances
It’s that time again, folks. It’s time for another edition of The Therapy Diaries! Today, we’re looking at something a little different - my experience with hypnotherapy, which took place in 2015 during the run-up to my wedding to help me with my anxiety, emetophobia and (what was undiagnosed at the time but we now … Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 4 | Hypnotherapy

Last week, I kicked off my brand new blog series entitled “The Therapy Diaries,” in which I take a look back over my many, many experiences of therapy for my rather messed up brain. My last post in this series looked at my time with the school counselling service to help deal with my anxiety … Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 2 | Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Exposure
Today, I’m kicking off a new series of blog posts entitled “The Therapy Diaries.” Pretty much what it says on the tin. I recently read a book called My Shit Therapist and Other Mental Health Stories by Michelle Thomas, which is an incredibly honest and relatable account of living with mental illness. I’ll be posting … Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 1 | School Counselling
It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about the C-word properly in relation to my mental health, but as lockdown rules are very slowly being lifted (or at least, they are at the time of writing), I feel it’s probably time to address it again. In honesty, not much not has happened since you know...lockdown. My … Continue reading Anxious Ramblings 5 | Contamination OCD and the Coronavirus Pandemic 2: Electric Boogaloo
The 18th May 2020 marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Week. A yearly campaign hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, the overall aim is to raise awareness and promote by driving conversations on mental health. Last year, the theme was all about body image. For 2020, the theme is all about kindness, which is … Continue reading Mental Health Awareness Week 2020: Kindness
This is a paid for advertorial. While we’ve seen the coronavirus pandemic bring out the worst in people, we’ve also seen it bring out the best too, with many people sending out care packages and carrying out small acts of kindness. With the lockdown being extended yet again, a lot of us will be looking … Continue reading Little Lockdown Gifts: Show a Loved One You Care with Monogram Maker | AD
