I forgot it was possible to actually change things, and I'm still learning how to. Check my blog to find out more. #change #recovery #mentalhealth #ptsd #past #future #movingforward #movingon #blog

  • I Can't Always Keep Up, I'm Sorry February 6, 2017
    Every now and then I act in a way that feels like a huge kick in the teeth. Sometimes I get so trapped by what's going on around me that I find it really difficult to 'participate.' And trust me, it sucks. There's nothing worse than wanting to be able to get up and get going, to have fun like everyone else is, when it just doesn't se […]

  • When Life Gets Intense December 21, 2016
    We've all experienced one thing in our lives that brings everything to a halt. Things that shake you so vehemently that you can't remember how things were ever so 'normal.' This world is brutal, there's so much that can harm us.

  • My Experience As An Inpatient On An Acute Mental Health Ward August 25, 2016
    For me, being admitted to hospital was a big turning point in my recovery. It was the 'kick' that I needed; it was the moment in which I sat down and faced up to why and what I was feeling.

  • Talking to Your GP About Mental Health June 10, 2016
    Discussing mental health for the first time, or even the twentieth time isn't always easy. I've certainly had mixed experiences when it comes to speaking with health professionals about my mental health.

  • Does Depression Make Me a Burden? January 19, 2016
    Depression makes me a burden. I think, 99% of the time that depression makes me a burden for others, but in all honesty depression just makes me a burden to myself. The thing that convinces me that I'm a burden to others is the stigma of mental illness.

  • Rain Rain Go Away... Dealing With Stormy Weather After Surviving a Natural Disaster November 20, 2015
    Recovery is a journey, as cheesy as that sounds... and the recent weather has reminded me of how possible it is to overcome things, no matter how horrible things get... it's human nature to grow, to try our hardest to move forward and we should certainly celebrate every success (no matter how small...

  • 10 Vitally Important Tips for Self-care October 19, 2015
    There are plenty of different ways to look after ourselves, and most of us amidst the hectic, busy lives we lead often forget how important it is to put ourselves first. Self-care and self-love isn't about ignoring and not looking after others in our lives, it's about making sure we look after ourselves so we can reduce stress, enjoy life and have […]

  • Dignity in Mental Health - World Mental Health Day 2015 October 8, 2015
    I'm very open about my experiences with mental health, certainly to those around me but also on a public level. I write and blog about my recovery, and I stand up for what I believe is right, especially when it comes to breaking down mental health stigma.

  • Life Goes on After Freshers Week, and Homesickness Is Not a Myth September 28, 2015
    It's your first week of university, you're meeting new people, familiarising yourself with your new campus, flat, house, bus route and local watering holes. Your first week you're winging it, you're jumping at every opportunity, reading every 'freshers' survival guide and you're moving at rocket speed...
