I haven’t posted for a while- and let’s face it, amongst school work, traumatic life events, and simply life just racing by as usual I don’t blame myself. I’d recently started a new blog too, more about advice, (not just mentally!), but for all sorts- fashion, health and exercise, makeup, travel- YOU NAME IT! For …

The niggling and demotivating existence of WOBBLES
Our belief that everyone has their lives together, or that those you presume perfect, with the perfect looks, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect job, the perfect life, is in fact just what I said, a belief, a presumption, and not a reality. Let’s face it, think in your minds now of someone you think has …

Getting the work/leisure balance right- Sixth form addition!
If you’re anything like me, the ability to balance hefty amounts of homework, and the expectations to maintain this and have the existence of leisure time, seems entirely impossible. The thing is, students these days have expectation after expectation, with the majority of this being dedication to school work. Being a high dreamer and achiever, …

My Pill Horror Story
I began my journey on the progestogen only pill due to the disheartening reality of experiencing the most excruciating period cramps I’d ever struggled with. Multiple fainting episodes, beads of sweat that would dribble down my tense temples as my back and belly ached like a knife that was consistently stabbing my muscles. I wanted …
CHANGE, (and not the type lying around in the bottom of your pocket!)
For me, change seemed scary and utterly unobtainable. And, lets face it, to sit perfectly in our own little bubble of comfort- the comfort zone- is a lot more enticing. Whether that be indulging in the delight of your soft, warm duvet, or maybe even doing the exact same daily routines, going out of these …

The Good, but Don’t Forget the Bad- What is Perfect?
Within my previous blog post, “Perpetrating Panic that Consumed me”, I glimpse at the mental progress I’ve made, transcending into “a happier time, a time full of romance, self-discovery, and growth”, with reference to “tranquility” and “happier mentality”.

Perpetrating Panic that Consumed me
Panic attacks, my breath a tragic victim to the abundant anxiety that dominated my whole being. This was a very frequent occurrence for me, a very deadly seeming one. My period of attacks consumed me until recently, a happier time, a time full of romance, self discovery, and growth. Panic at Parents Evening A vivid …
Growing up with an alcoholic parent- the traumatic reality
My own experience transcending into young adulthood was struck with the disheartening truth that the one woman in your life whom, without doubt, should always care for you-your own mother-drastically, was the complete opposite for me. Cherished childhood memories of sobriety. Laughter bursting its way through my content mouth, as though to heighten my youthful …

That’s so mental
Heart palpitating, the mind as the fastest and most intense washing machine of irrationality, and, ultimately, the struggles of lows in contrast to the highs- or maybe an inability to even develop those highs. Lets talk mental health. Mental health issues are a major concern for society today, furthermore, an incredible concern for myself, your …
