    We have all got those friends that proclaim to read multiple books a week, learn a new language, do yoga sessions before work, go for long rambles in the countryside and continuously talk about how self-care is essential for mental health. They are right, of course, but the chances are…

    You Can’t Pour From An Empty Cup

    TRIGGER WARNING: In depth discussion about eating disorders, negative thinking, talk of dieting. So Eating Disorder Awareness week is coming to a close, and it almost passed me by, as I have been a little insular lately. Back in January I posted how I was going to make 2019 the…

    Hopes & Goals For 2019

    December 31, 2018 /

    Looking back on my list for 2018, I didn’t get much done that I wanted to. But 2018 was quite frankly, a whole pile of crap. It was easily the worst year I have had in a long time. I battled with a quite severe bout of depression, which in…

    Beating The Black Dog…

    August 3, 2018 /

    So for the past couple of months I dropped off the radar, which so early on in my blogging project, was disappointing! But my mental health had to come first and it took a nose dive considerably about March. When I started to feel crappy in about October, I put…
