I’ve thought long and hard about the contents and the title for this post, and there’s only one woman who I want immoraltalised on this site at the very beginning of this rambling moment… Adele. So, in her honour (as a nod of thanks for the many tears the album ‘30’ has encouraged since it’sContinue reading “41”

Processing Pride (or avoiding it)
I’m the first in the queue when you need reminding that you should CELEBRATE 🎉 SUCCESS! Of course you should – whatever you did (getting the stripes on the lawn right, mastering potty training, nailing the promotion, finishing an essay…whatever), you did a great job and you deserve a bloody party! Revel in it, wadeContinue reading “Processing Pride (or avoiding it)”
Kindness in the community
As this site focuses mostly on Mental Illness and positive mental health practices, I’ve always felt responsible enough to signpost visitors to professional help if they feel they’d benefit from it. Most of that help comes from charities, specialists in specific causes of stress, as well as the NHS and sometimes information bases where youContinue reading “Kindness in the community”
Bitterness – another unhelpful trait I nurture
I’m going to talk in a bit of detail about this subject, but I need to explain how I ended up writing this post in the first place. Unfortunately it wasn’t a pleasant experience and it’s left me very broken and sad. But that doesn’t mean I should pretend it didn’t happen. Having recently spentContinue reading “Bitterness – another unhelpful trait I nurture”
Wait, what? Did someone say podcast???
March and April have been…well…weird months for me. It’s not been an easy period and my shock at the behaviour of others seems to know no limits. Regardless of the actions of others and the events I continue dragging my feet through, I want to continue the positive rhetoric following the incredible news that I’mContinue reading “Wait, what? Did someone say podcast???”
I’m very proud to announce…
I’ve been teasing over a BIG announcement for some time. This is a project that’s been in the pipeline since before Christmas and, thanks to some positive and forward-thinking people, has the power to help make a REAL difference. I am therefore thrilled to announce that I am helping the Cruse Bereavement Support (South East)Continue reading “I’m very proud to announce…”
Belief
Bloody hell! Yes, friend. You are in the RIGHT place. For the first time in a while I’m going to talk about something positive that I not only understand…I have it. I have ALOT of it. In fact (serious statement coming) I had to hunt it down like an outcast lion searching for a lonelyContinue reading “Belief”
Fu*k mindfulness. I can’t do it.
If you’re looking for a stress solution or REAL mental health care, then I apologise, but this post ain’t it. Can I instead direct you towards the Our Brains page on this website where there are some more practical thoughts and actual places to go and get proper help, support and advice. Go to theContinue reading “Fu*k mindfulness. I can’t do it.”
YES! Short Story WINNER 🏆 🏆 🏆
I love 🥰 having the opportunity to tell you something new, bright and positive. It’s no secret that I have a lot going on…as I saw in a meme recently, my brain has too many tabs open. But it’s actually a testament to everything I’m trying to prove by sharing this hobby and promoting thisContinue reading “YES! Short Story WINNER 🏆 🏆 🏆”
Social Media made me needier (don’t be the same) 😢
After a long and painful relationship, I’ve made the decision to end my silence and sadness, remove the frustration and lead an even more crap, insular and isolated life. That’s right, I’ve deleted Facebook. I’ve disintegrated my account, crumpled up the app and bleached any part of it from my existence. It’s in the binContinue reading “Social Media made me needier (don’t be the same) 😢”
