Oh anxiety, you sometimes have to laugh at it when it pops up. Anxiety has prevented me from doing many things throughout my life, one of them being cooking. I get a lot of anxiety whilst in the kitchen and surprisingly it relates back to my social anxiety. Social anxiety as a whole is mostly … Continue reading Kitchen Anxiety

Anxiety For Me
My relationship with anxiety is a complex one. We have a love hate relationship and sometimes we work together well and then sometimes we really don’t. I’ve had anxiety ever since I was a little girl despite it not being recognised (or even thought of) till I was around 19-20 years old so I am … Continue reading Anxiety For Me
The Baggier The Better
Body confidence isn’t something that I easily found. I’ve been insecure for about 90% of my life and most of my insecurities are focused around my appearance, more specifically, my body. For the past couple of years I’ve been fluctuating between being confident as fuck to being insecure as hell with my body. It comes … Continue reading The Baggier The Better
Write It All Out
Towards the end of last year I gave myself some reminders to try and keep me mentally healthy. One of them being to make sure I write everything out of my mind. So this is what I’m doing. I’ve had a lot on my mind recently. My second trip back to Australia has worked out … Continue reading Write It All Out
Commitment
Commitment. It’s a fairly big word with a big meaning. To commit to something or someone means you are dedicated. You’re in it for the long term whether it is a relationship, a job or owning a pet. You are committed to that thing. I have commitment issues that I joke about all the time … Continue reading Commitment

For me, I started off this decade by attempting suicide, self-harming, I was severely depressed and I had a firm hand on my self-destruct button up until last year. I’m now here clear minded, traumas processed, I see … Continue reading What A Decade
Prioritise Your Cares
To care for something or someone requires a lot of strength. It can be damaging, rewarding and draining for yourself. I now don't care for a lot, but what I do care for; I care for a hell of a lot. Back before I finished my counselling I cared about EVERYTHING and by everything, I … Continue reading Prioritise Your Cares
Anxiety VS Gym
I have written about my relationship with the gym before (which you can read about here). I feel like I can now write a more up to date article about getting through my anxiety troubles at the gym. So basically, before I very first went to Australia I had been managing to keep up with … Continue reading Anxiety VS Gym
Why Are We Anxious?
Anxiety...It's something we hear a lot more about these days. When I had depression and anxiety I always felt very alone. Like I was the only person in the whole world who would feel like I did about a situation, place, person etc. I've been depression free for over a year now but my anxiety … Continue reading Why Are We Anxious?
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder/phobia is a horrible form of anxiety and often misunderstood. I know my SA can make me come across as shy, arrogant, nervous, withdrawn, stand offish or quiet when in reality my personality is nothing like that. So we all know that to be anxious is a normal human emotion but to have … Continue reading Social Anxiety Disorder
