    Published by

    on

    17th Feb 2025

    I’ve been thinking lately about the type of media I like, why I choose to consume it and how it affects my mental health. This may be due to my new job in publishing, talking about books a lot, and being asked by new coworkers what I like to watch.…

    Overcoming Excuses: Building Better Habits

    Published by

    27th Jan 2025

    So I’m a cliche and like many other bloggers or writers I stopped as soon as life got slightly too hectic. I told myself I was too busy but I’m sure the screen time on my phone would begin to differ. I’m not going to sit here and laugh self-deprecatingly…

    Fear, Uncertainty and Excitement: Beginning a New Adventure

    Published by

    on

    2nd Dec 2024

    This week I stepped into a world foreign to me. A whole new industry with its own language and culture. A role I have no experience in. For anyone, this would be an overwhelming and emotional experience but when you have BPD this can all be amplified.  I often describe…

    What If It Works Out? Confessions Of A Self-Described Pessimist 

    Published by

    on

    25th Nov 2024

    In the past, I’ve been almost proud of my pessimism. It wasn’t something I wore like a badge, but I knew my mind and thoughts tended to be more negative. Ironically I saw the positive sides of being a pessimist. I suppose I thought it was best to lean into…

    From Chaos to Clarity: My Journey to Better Time Management

    Published by

    on

    18th Nov 2024

    An issue that has plagued me for years is how I use my time. For some time I’ve wanted to use my time more wisely. I want to know I’m getting things done in a day instead of wasting time looking at my phone or some other mindless activity. Time…

    Breaking Free From Wallowing: How I’m Pulling Myself Out of a Rut with New Routines and Small Wins

    Published by

    on

    11th Nov 2024

    As I wrote last week I recently had the epiphany that I’ve been wallowing in depression in an unhealthy manner that has left me feeling no control in my life. Thanks to the honest and loving nature of my friendships I was snapped out of it and decided it was…

    To Myself, with Tough Love: Breaking Free from Depression’s Comforting Embrace

    Published by

    on

    4th Nov 2024

    I just celebrated my birthday on Halloween and I initially began writing this week’s post about how difficult I can find my birthday, my existential dread around time and basically how I feel like crap right now, especially about my position in life. I’ve found it hard lately not to…

    Quiet Anger: Navigating Life with an Invisible Fire

    Published by

    on

    21st Oct 2024

    I’m easily irritated. A fire seems to eternally sizzle in my chest and with a small push, it scorches through my blood yet from the outside you could not tell. When I was looking into BPD and trying to understand my new diagnosis I felt more connection with the lesser-known…

    7th Oct 2024

    My best friend’s wedding is coming up in less than a week, and in the storm of getting ready for the big day as the maid of honour, I’ve neglected to think about the mental strain that may come with such a long and emotionally taxing event. I have thought…

    Reevaluating My Mental Health Journey: Why I’m Considering Stopping Treatment

    Published by

    on

    30th Sep 2024

    I recently went to an appointment for a medical review with the long-term mental health team I’m under. On arrival, I was told my coordinator was sick and therefore had gone home for the day, which is completely understandable, however, my appointment was at 2 pm so I feel like…
