The year that will probably go down in history for being the most challenging, eye rolling and fucked up year there has been (in my life time at least). 2020 has affected all of our day to day routine lives as well as effecting our mental well-being and challenging our mental strength. Over the past … Continue reading 2020…

Anxiety Update
I hit a brick wall recently when it came to my writing as my anxiety has been very active for the past month or so now and it's made getting along with work, socialising, doing my habits/hobbies and what not very challenging. I've been on a writing break because I just cannot write when my … Continue reading Anxiety Update
Working With Mental Illnesses
I have an interesting history with employment, not so much where I have worked, but more how I was during the times I worked at those places. My first proper job was waitressing at my mums cafe, I loved it, I was earning my own money and keeping myself busy during my weekends at home … Continue reading Working With Mental Illnesses
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

I’ve had a lot on my mind recently. My second trip back to Australia has worked out … Continue reading Write It All Out
Anxiety VS 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 I know my SA can make me come across as shy, arrogant, nervous, withdrawn, stand offish or quiet when in reality my personality is nothing like that.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
