If I could send this letter back in time; I would. If I could go back knowing everything I know now; I would. Zoe, you’re 22 now, and you’ve made it mostly where you want to be, but as I know where we are now, I want to pass on some advice. Learn to say [...]
Music is an escape for me, no matter how I'm feeling, I have a song for every mood and every moment. Music has got me through a lot of tough times in my life, and some of my fondest memories are at concerts, watching the bands that have changed my life in so many ways [...]
I didn’t know what kind of post to publish today, and I realised that SO much has happened recently that I felt I should catch you all up with another ‘life update’ post. This is probably old news to most of you that follow me on Twitter - but I haven’t really talked about it [...]
I’ve been blogging for just over a year now and I am so grateful for the wonderful people I’ve met during this time. I was nominated by Judy Maree, a blogger who I’ve just recently ‘met’ and I love her content. I recommend you visit her blog if you haven’t! Thank you so much for [...]

This culture has the tendency to go into overdrive and can make people feel inadequate if they haven’t achieved something big in a while, and that if they’re not overachieving - they’re not doing enough.

Every weekend is time away from my regular job that I get to cram as much writing work in as possible. Working on something I’m passionate about that doesn’t pay is hard, and it’s made even harder when it feels like the years are flying by so quickly. I’m only 22, and I feel like [...]
It’s been a while - it feels like I haven’t written a post in so long, and being offline for 2 weeks had me feeling so disconnected that I actually felt a little lost stepping back into this. It’s been quite difficult getting back into the swing of things, so I wanted my first post [...]
Feeling lethargic is an awful symptom of depression, and often accompanies most antidepressants as a side effect, so sometimes it feels like I can never escape it. It kills my productivity, motivation, and mood. I describe it as feeling ‘heavy’, it feels like my limbs are made of lead, and I have to fight to [...]
“But what I struggle with…” I’d often say, to cautiously steer a conversation towards mental health, as if navigating a social minefield, scared of saying the wrong thing. I was always worried that once I’d used a hideous taboo word, like ‘anxiety’ or ‘antidepressants’ that it’d all be over for me. Nobody can go back [...]
Today's post is a guest post by Ross O'Sullivan: I’ve never been one to stop for a moment and truly look into my own MH. And at this current moment in my life I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. But now is a good a time as any to [...]
