I’ve always had a history of struggling to begin writing projects or essays for my university degree, especially those with little structure. The less structures the assignment the more difficult it is for me to find a starting point. And now we’ve hit the big one; my dissertation. 7000 words on anything with a strong […]
Hey there, it really has been a while! I’ve been so busy as of late and mostly too exhausted to think or write or anything at all so a quick recap is in order! I’m now back at my university house which has made me so happy! Living with my mother this summer proved extremely […]
It’s been nearly a month since I last wrote but I’ve been kinda busy, exhausted, too much of a mess to bring myself to write. And a lot has changed with me since then so here’s an update: Firstly, it has been 8 whole days since my last dose of citalopram. I did have 2 […]
Let’s get the Negatives out the way first: I am currently writing this post from a Burger King restaurant with an iced frappe in an attempt to avoid going home. My mother is still being a nightmare. I can’t even breathe without her trying to start an argument with me about something petty. Like the […]

You can’t seem to remember what […]
I woke up feeling down yesterday whilst staying with a friend. I am lucky that she understands, given that she has depression much more severe than my own. I assumed it to be down to lack of sleep (sharing a single bed doesn’t make for the best nights sleep) but I woke up today feeling […]
No sooner has my bedroom in my mums house been (almost) finished, I have been banished to it, out of sight of my mother. I have never been so grateful to have a bedroom door (the box room has never had a door) to put between us, even if it is a feeble plastic folding […]
Good afternoon, I say, and it is! I am home alone, awaiting the arrival of one of my oldest friends who is coming round for coffee this afternoon so we can catch up after months apart at different universities. So I thought I’d write a quick post about something very important to me and something […]
Thought I’d give this a go seeing as my previous post was so short! 1. What would you name your future daughter? I’d like to use some names that run in my family; possibly Iris (after my dad’s mother who passed away before I met her, in the years I wasn’t in contact with my […]
Hi there! I’ve not posted for a couple of days so quick recap: Yesterday I visited the Coventry Food and Drink Festival with my mum. We enjoyed the most lovely Caribbean food; jerk chicken and rice & peas with gravy, followed by delicious pancakes (mine with honey and crushed nuts) and refreshing Pimms cider (something […]
