Habit or Compulsion? A Rant (sorry)
Right, I am just going to get straight into this. The other day I had a CBT meeting. All good there, on the road to recovery. It was all going well until my therapist said... A.

Omg. I love fresh linen!
I know, I know, I'm sad. But I feel this deserves it's own post! Today, I had a ton of laundry needing cleaning, so of course I spent £20 and what felt like 20 hours at my local laundromat.

Ahhh new jammies!
One of the reasons that the psychologists are concerned about my mental health is because night after night I must have a bubble bath followed by brand new pjs.

Lights for Therapy
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
This irrational thing has gone too far!
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!
