Whilst writing the posts for this blog, I have realised something... I must be so difficult to live with. What with the obsessions, compulsions, attacks, stress, and anxiety I constantly radiate, how does my partner feel about it all? Is living with someone who has OCD a challenge? Well, of course I cannot answer these questions … Continue reading Being the Partner of Someone with OCD
Convincing myself that I am an animal abuser.
Today I had a beautiful day with my amazing family, shopping for Christmas decorations. We bought lights, tinsel, baubles, the lot! It was the best day in a long time, much needed by all of us. What I didn't expect was to cry most of the drive home. My boyfriend was sat in the passenger … Continue reading Convincing myself that I am an animal abuser.

How Music Saved Me
Do you remember the pain of having to wait over an hour to have a whole playlist sent to your phone via Bluetooth? (And being stuck to that person kind enough to share no matter how awkward it was?) I do, and it was during school so I had to go through the anxiety that … Continue reading How Music Saved Me
How to make the perfect safe space.

Am I really that bad?
All of us think to ourselves 'am I really that bad?' some time in our lives, it's natural. Can any human say that they genuinely like being hated? We all want to be liked, and of course, for every positive there has to be a negative. There will always be someone we clash with. Be it our … Continue reading Am I really that bad?

As you can see from this blog, my mental health definitely is a huge part of my life, whether I like it or not. But of course, I can't have one with out the other.

It’s a Sign!
I was a very spiritual 17 year old, and believed that the universe had a way of sending us signs of upcoming scenarios.

My hair, My Comfort.
So, you have probably heard of skin pickers; generally they pick at the skin around their hands and fingers, their face etc. I am a skin picker myself, always picking at my nails, cuticles and face seems to be one of my favourite pass-times, and recently the overbearing need to destroy my gums has been … Continue reading My hair, My Comfort.
