26th March…I’ve been dreading this day, this anniversary of a year since I last saw my father-in-law, the day he was moved forcibly into a care home. He’d been in hospital for a month and, as it became more and more apparent that he couldn’t go home and also that the first coronavirus wave was […]
Anxiety sucks. A little bit of day-to-day anxiety is natural, the “oh sh*t, I’m going to be late…” or something similar, but what if that anxiety stays with you all day, burbling away like a saucepan full of water, threatening to over-boil? What if anxieties prevent you from doing activities that you’d previously enjoyed, what […]
Blimey, where did the year go? It’s absolutely flown by and there’s been much to learn from as we head into 2019. I’ve been decidedly quieter on all things social-media this year – more of that later – but, in a way, that’s a positive, because I can look back now and share. This year […]

When I was growing up, I guess because of a fractured childhood, all I wanted was to have my own family and a little house, somewhere I could feel secure and watch that family grow. We had D’s Annual Review at school recently and she expressed the same wish, but added in the fact she […]
I’m very pleased to be hosting this guest post from Sarah and hope it helps to raise some awareness around Borderline Personality Disorder or BPD. “BPD – Borderline Personality Disorder, also sometimes known as EUPD – Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder. I’m not sure which name I like better, borderline just makes me think they have […]
This post would have been different yesterday, 12th October. It wouldn’t have been positive, in fact I doubt I’d have completed it. Yesterday marks two years since my first both feet operation and it’s fair to say that I’ve lost my way since then, finding that the tools which used to be so handy for […]
