Obsessive Compulsive Existence
Obsessing daily, Compulsions hourly, Disorder constantly
If you had unlimited money and could buy anything you wanted, what would you get? I remember my first ever ICT lesson in secondary school, I was 10 years old and my teacher was big and scary (turned out to be one of the nicest teachers in the school!) I'm not kidding, the guy was … Continue reading If I had unlimited money – Fibro Edition
During this lockdown, I have sat down and watched an entire series that has the potential to change someone's life. I am not over-reacting, this isn't a programme that spouts off different trends and new and improved ways of dealing with your mental health. It isn't going to tell you to sit and yoga impossible … Continue reading Animal Therapy
Hello my very lovely … and neglected readers, Confession time! I forgot about this blog. Yep! as if one day, my memory was completely wiped of all things blogging (thanks a lot brain).

I love lights, especially the pretty Christmas and fairy lights. There is something about them that is so calming, maybe it's the cute twinkling, or maybe the soft glow they give off in a pitch black space. I remember in school there being a sensory room for especially anxious students (I only found out about … Continue reading Lights for Therapy
Oh dear, either I'm going to be doing too much or not enough. Most likely the latter, and I am already obsessing over how crap I am probably going to do. Now, it is really important that I really am a part of this group task, I need the grade! Yet I am still behind … Continue reading Group work advice
Today I had a bit of an emotional episode, mostly because I can't get any irrational thoughts out of my head! The worst thing is, is that I know they are irrational. Yet somehow my mind doesn't want to know and is quite happy feeding my brain the crappiest of irrational ideas. For example - … Continue reading This irrational thing has gone too far!
